Envy at Stropps' 3.00 am shag. Well envy at shag at any hour, frankly. GrinSad

Have summons for smear test. At my stage in life, it's a bit difficult to know when I will be "mid cycle". I knew I shouldn't have bought the 3 for 2 Lil-lets.

Hacking cough is having somewhat stressful effect on my bladder...

And still no time/date for job interview.

Lalsy · 07/01/2017 21:38

GrinGrin Stropps - you go! On all fronts.

MrsWobble3 · 07/01/2017 22:11

Stropps, but if we are triplets and you are end Jan that would make you my big sister. Having seen how dd1 treats dds2 and 3 I'm not entirely convinced I want to take on the role of younger/youngest (when's mrs s' birthday?). But I'm sure you're nicer than that!

MrsSchadenfreude · 07/01/2017 22:15

That would make me the awkward middle sibling...

Stropperella · 07/01/2017 22:28

I am the black sheep older sibling - who couldn't be a Good Example, and turned out instead as a Horrible Warning.

Waf, just let me know when you fancy a visit to the seaside, and I will meet you off the train with a bunch of flowers and a bottle of Gaviscon. Wink

MrsSchadenfreude · 07/01/2017 22:45

I am the Disappointment who Married Beneath Me.

Blackduck · 07/01/2017 22:47

As the early Jan birthday I am out of this convo... But can someone remind me what date we are aiming at?
It's the mass complete of the calendar tomorrow and I should know what's doable then.

Stropps 3 am?!?! Wtf....

MrsSchadenfreude · 07/01/2017 23:02

So MrsW, you will have to be the Good Girl who Married Well.

It looks like Friday 24 Feb, BD. I think. Or possibly Saturday 25th.

I am off to bed and pondering which medication to go for. I think I'll have another go at Dight Durse, and hope it sends me off to sleep this time.

DH is watching a very old black and white Russian film...

CointreauVersial · 07/01/2017 23:43

Friday 24th FEB and Saturday 25th MARCH. Someone mentioned Cote for 24th - which one?

MrsS - I had the "mid-cycle" question when I booked Monday's smear; I had to tell them there was no longer a cycle to be in the middle of. Sad

hattymattie · 08/01/2017 08:09

Are we still having lunch on 11th Feb?

Count me in for all the various celebratory meals.

I've got to Chennai. Am surrounded by large group of not-quite-relatives all chatting loudly in a mix of Tamil and English. It is actually rather soothing as they are all very nice and rather interesting including a couple of Bharatanatyam dancers one of whom is the campest chap I've ever met even though married to a woman and various doctors.

hattymattie · 08/01/2017 10:12

So envious of your trip MI.

Well my lovelies - I have booked Eurostar for 25 March so will be there (by which time I hope I will no longer have braces on my teeth - hurrah).

So see some of you the 11th Feb and again, with the rest of you on the 25th March.

Cremolafoam · 08/01/2017 10:24

Yay Hatty! Pleased about 25/3

MrsSchadenfreude · 08/01/2017 10:50

So, 11 Feb for lunch, 24 Feb for drinks and dinner at Cote, and 25 March for dinner?

Blackduck · 08/01/2017 11:03

I can't do the March date :(. Dp away.
And not sure Feb works either :(

MrsWobble3 · 08/01/2017 11:15

I can make both Feb dates. Don't know about March yet -dh has put some ?? in the diary. Should be ok though. I'm looking forward to meeting you at last.

bigTillyMint · 08/01/2017 11:20

Oh no BDSad

Put me down for all the datesSmile
Fingers crossed no DS-related problems stop me. Went to a local party yesterday with DD and forgot about it all for a few hours, but back to reality with a headache this morningSad
Things are bad, lets hope there will be a Plan B that will work.

CointreauVersial · 08/01/2017 11:50

Bloody hell, we need a Crepey Event Attendance spreadsheet.

motherinferior · 08/01/2017 12:37

BTM, I am thinking of you.

wordassociationfootball · 08/01/2017 12:38

Organising people = my Room 101 = One of CV's happy places. Different Aquarians, non?

I'm a no to 11th Feb (but please raise a glass to me on my actual day.)
and a yes to the other two dates.

I was up and at it in the middle of the night too, just like Stropps. Oh no, hold on, I was administering Brian to DD2.

BTM Flowers and kobo lovely woman.

Monty, you are so utterly lovely the way you come on and say nice things to everyone. You really are allowed to just go straight in about YOU, you know Grin. Feel like you'd just got started when you were grabbed away to cake.

Hatty, how lovely that you'll be flashing your gnashers soon.

I'm in pjs about to sort out travel insurance then I'll haul DH to nice woody park for a stroll. He's got a perma frown today, so think he's having a bad one. That will partly be related to DD2's Brian shenanigans. She put a COW BELL on her door knob yesterday, it transpires, so all her ins and outs last night were nicely noisy Grin

Blackduck · 08/01/2017 12:41

BTM big {{}}

I will be around weekend of 18th Feb if anyone fancies a MU? A D'n'S??

MrsSchadenfreude · 08/01/2017 13:15

You know me, BD. Always up for a drink!

BTM, thinking of you and fingers crossed for a good plan B.

I am still in bed. Felt better last night, cooked dinner. Now feel worse. Complete lack of energy. Temperature nearing normal though, so should feel better? Feel I should go out today, even for short walk to Tesco.

hattymattie · 08/01/2017 14:01

Stay in and rest Mrs S - find crappy film.

BTM - so sorry things are nott getting better Flowers.

3 am booty call? I would be cross at being awoken - nothing must disturb my beauty sleep!
