Swagger Inn: Thread 87. BBC Musketeers - roll on Friday. Close your eyes and avoid the spoilers... sodding programmers.

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

As you were wenches... The bar is stocked up, the chaise is re-covered and ready for action, and all we have to do it... er. Wait until Friday.
Arse.

2:20.... WW are you watching live with us? (I says 'us', I'm still not convinced that DS won't stay awake and demand my presence though sheer sods-law-ness.)

DS has just put 'Thor' on (or 'Phwoar' as one of my colleagues calls it)

*Apricot - good compromise

Fancy We totally should be roomies

Yep Helen I'll be watching with my wenches

Oh Elk - that picture was well FAF by the way. And you'll be pleased to know that I untied him and gave him a wash down before I went out on the school run, so you should be able to run him to ground somewhere - or just carry on waiting in his bed - he'll be back eventually (if exhausted beyond use) but hey..

We'd have a ball ww

We should have a vodka rack to match the wine rack.

So excited!!!!

Currently sipping a Bee's Knees (gin, honey, lemon juice and thyme) and trying to decide whether it should be a cocktail or wine...decisions, decisions

T minus 1.45

And we'd never argue over men - you like alcoholic moody hot beardy fuckers & I like charming flirty hot beardy fuckers

And finally the BBC tweets about TM

Right, I'm here as well. Finally. It has been a very long and exhausting day. Apparently toddlermouses refusal to speak has the consultant SALT 'baffled'.

I have whiskey and microwave popcorn all ready to go. I definitely need musketeers tonight.

Fancy it would be amazeballs

Fancy are you actually on Twitter? If not, get to it

Totes amazeballs ww

(The cats may be more of a problem. FancyCat does not share well)

How frustrating mouse. Sounds like whiskey, popcorn & hot men are really needed tonight!

mouse. Whats your next move? Or are you happy to wait it out a bit longer? is the speech therapy in NI as good as the contraceptive services, in which case would you consider going private?

On bus on way home. What a shite day.

Zzzzzzzz

Woo hoo. Finally it's Friday. DC are already in bed to ensure peace and quiet. DH is feeling sick (uh oh) so tucked up on sofa under slanket. I have and am on countdown.

Off to look at WW's house.

Oh Mouse. Can you get second opinion?

Wenches, we should probably brace for a bit of a rollercoaster tonight, since it's setting up for ep10. Im imagining lots of very seemingly bad stuff and a massive fuckoff cliffhanger.

I prescribe a MASSIVE dose of Musketeers all round. God but we could do with them tonight. #drsparks

I think you are probably right Madame. And some of us have been stupid enough to organise stuff next week, which will prolong the pain.

It's a lovely house WW but you'll have to fix the stairs. Open treads give me the heebie jeebies. And the wine rack needs to be bigger .

hoping it gets cancelled

for Mouse and Madame

Mine won't and 'cos reasons I have to go. Fuck fuck fuck.

But that's a week away. And in less than an hour ......

The speech therapy is better than the fpa. I had him assessed privately a few months ago and they couldn't get a proper baseline. He was too uncooperative

But the consultant nhs salt is in her words - baffled. He is very intelligent with well developed motor skills but is mute. He can talk but chooses not to. He is not autistic or on the spectrum, it's not a sensory problem, it's not a problem with his processing or receptive language. He communicates in his own way, he show you an empty glass and drag you to the sink when he wants water. If he wants food he won't ask - he'll go to the fridge, get out bread and butter, get out cutlery and a plate and will butter his own sandwich.

The SALT says she's never seen a child like him before.

The second opinion (actually it'll be the 4th or 5th opinion) looks like a good option though. Thanks

mouse my friend's uncle was like this, he didn't speak until almost 4yo and then came out with perfect sentences. Was a very clever chap and just hadn't felt the need to speak apparently.
