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.

mouse as my mil frequently tells me, my dp was like this. Mute til age 4 but super bright and competent. Got his older bro to "interpret" for him. Then started speaking fine and was high achieving etc etc. is still a stubborn bugger though

Evening wenchi!!!!

FANCY is it 9pm yet? that has been my question all day. I have snarked a tweet to BBCPOV about bbc rubbish ness.

MrsB the husband sounds like a Ticking time bomb. I'd exclude him from the lounge with a sick bowl just in case.

Mouse that sounds a rough day. How exhausting for you.

Madame thank goodness you get a big dollop of Aramis when you get in.

Elk. Phwooaaar. Giggled a lot with your Kennington hi jinks. Hope you've had a cosy afternoon. Did the man clear your chimney? ?

Helen I always check that he's been freed at the end of a session so never you worry about that.

So. t minus 25.

Come the fuck on!!!!

Thank you that's what I'm hoping will happen with toddlermouse.

It's just bloody frustrating at times and I've had months of people saying well meaning things like 'do you sing to him? Do you read to him. Do you interact with him?' No I stick him in a cupboard and call him it.

Oh Mouse how frustrating for you

I have to work, i want to get finished before Muskeaction....

OMG! 15 min!!!!

Back from MIL's. DS2 is being unco-operative. Will def not be watching live.

I'm sure I read that Einstein didn't speak until he was 5. There's a speech delay thing named after him. DS2 was a bit like that with the level of understanding and doing stuff for himself, but his speech delay was about missing sounds/middle/end of words. He also wouldn't speak to people he didn't know. In fact, one of his new targets today at school is to speak up more.

Didn't Einstein not speak until he was 5? Also there's a lady with 2 kids in yr3 and F1 at the local book shop's story time. Her youngest didn't speak until he was 3, then one day, sat in the car said "where are we going and what are we doing today mummy?"

So babyElk is now finally in her own room, and has been going to bed a treat for the last 3 nights, but the musketeers is on again in 15 MINUTES, so why the hell should she settle this evening

X-post letus

IS IT 9PM YET?

DH is puking upstairs in the loo. He's acting like its terminal

I've taken up water, bleach spray and wipes and asked him if he needed anything. he needs to man up as th DC cope with it better

I was nice. But he better not fucking emerge at 9pm

Actually comtess the chimney man is (ahem) sticking a large pipe up my chimney and injecting it with liquid (also not a euphemism ), in fact he's doing that to all both flues (def not a euphemism )

I like the idea of todder being Einstein. I'll just remind him of this when he's 18 to embarrass him. 'When you were 3 we saw 4 speech therapists and a paediatrician and you baffled them all'

Finger crossed for you elk.

I should be commenting live.

MrsB - innocent question, does your loo have a lock on the outside?

I may comment live, but won't be reading the thread. I probably won't be commenting live unless it's hugely disappointing.

Go wenches ..... fingers crossed it's a good 'un

Think I've heard that about Einstein too.

Must be very frustrating for you though, particularly having to deal with 'helpful' advice

mrsbeee

Keeping fingers crossed for no interruptions for everyone.

Oh do FUCK OFF Masterchef

May comment live if I can keep up

Hurry the fuck up masterchef

ooh Poldark trailer

Here we go!!

Squeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

No poldark trailer here. Just some bollocks from BBC NI about the fucking stormont flag.

Oh FGS, stupid boy cat has no Instinct for burying his crap. The smell has pervaded.

Anyway, I'm here! And I have Woo Hoo!!!

Connie has a Disney princess dress

Oooh shits about to hit the fan.
