Welcome to The Bluestocking, the best (perhaps only) online women's pub. Nothing in the food or drink can harm you, everything is served by a very enthusiastic crew of gerbils, and any curious menfolk are welcome at the Staunch Ally down the road.

I reckon you were lurking behind the sofa.

I'll be napping in room 32, it's just had new curtains installed. Total black out. I'll arise once the move is complete no doubt.

Keep up Gabriella, before anyone sees you with those tea cakes.

Lurking behind the sofa? Well! I have NEVER been so offended!

I was hiding behind the bar.

Hello!

I’m supposed to be working so I’ll sort the craft room out a bit later.

ChristmasStars · 10/08/2026 15:00

I'm here bright and early! Any stained glass windows need polishing? (Does one polish stained glass?).

WearyAuldWumman · 10/08/2026 15:00

Found it.

l’m at the gym. Do the gerbils have and alcoholic gin whose effects are designed to dissipate within the hour?

I need it - there have been weird things a-happening on Mumsnet the past couple of days.

I'll just put what I carried over on the Crafting and Quilting Snug for later, then I can help set things up.

Thanks for the new thread Glad!

Ah, it sounds like you need a frivolous G&T. You have a wide choice of gin.

I’ve come to do an aircon overhaul if you like?

I like to be useful and the gerbils tend to not need much help.

ive never installed or serviced an air con unit but I am quite techy and men manage it all the time so I suspect it will be a nice bit of fun for me.

Thehorticulturalhussie · 10/08/2026 15:33

We are on our way back from foreign waters. Found the camels, they’re not terribly happy about the waves and spray and made me buy them hats but they’ll be ok.
See you soon, thanks for the new thread Glad.

The capybaras can take you on as an apprentice over the summer!

Love the camels' hats! Hunter also looking very majestic.

PastaAllaNorma · 10/08/2026 15:44

Ooooo, I like what you've done to the place.

backformoreofthesame · 10/08/2026 15:46

I can have overalls I assume from day 1 ?

Boiledbeetle · 10/08/2026 15:47

And safety boots.

AND

They'll fit.

Bloody hell Boily, who've you been bribing to get safety boots that fit?!

backformoreofthesame · 10/08/2026 15:49

really fit? So o can wiggle all my toes ?

I may have to have a lie down somewhere quiet for quite a while

and then I would like to invite all residents to a boot fitting party

I think the capybaras will insist on it, as well as a hard hat and high vis jacket. Oh, and safety goggles. And gloves. (you're going to need that AC after all that!)

(That's just the kinda capybaras they are...)

A boot fitting party sounds like an excellent idea!

PastaAllaNorma · 10/08/2026 16:02

That's what I love about the Bluestocking - they have exactly the right drink at the right strength, the needed victuals in perfect portion sizes, and everything fits each Bluey regular, be she feathered, furred or carapaced.

DauntlessDamson · 10/08/2026 16:06

Made it! I had to follow the trail of Tunnocks wrappers being thrown from the back of one of the tractors. Thanks for the thread, Glad.

Ooh, a boot fitting party? May I have purple sparkly ones please?
