Want 2 chat?

God I'm bored, stuck at home writing 30 school reports on software which keeps crashing, and trying to think of 30 different ways to write 'has made good progress.'

Nobody else is home on Saturday are they? You're all out at a big garden party without me. No doubt having sex with good-looking people. On rollerskates. Whilst drinking champagne.

*sigh*

We're reading the Guardian with the extremely boring football in the background.

But coincidently, about 20 minutes ago I quite fancied a glass of champagne. I am eating an apple instead.

Annie said...

Hurrah for Geoff and Betty! I am not Home Alone!

Annie said...

Bah, football.

DCveR said...

You're not alone! We're home this Saturday too! Actually, I'm glad I'm still home. Being on call til monday I just wish to home, instead of having to rush to the lab... ;)

Annie said...

Hey Dcver, welcome back! I thought you'd given it all up... will put you back on the links pronto!

I'm blogging and half-watching the cup final and trawling youtube for bad 80's videos. You are so not alone! xx

Annie said...

Raaaah, RoMo! How you feeling, petal? Staying in is the new going out, you know.

I know not this cup final of which you speak. Football... *stuffs fingers in ears*

I am at home, looking for chicken pot pie recipes with cartoons in the background. You are not home alone!

Annie said...

Calista, I first read that as 'children pot pie recipes' for some reason. I thought maybe you were passing the cooking chores over to your little one...

I love bloggers. I'm not a freak!

rockmother said...

Feeling better but as long as I don't eat or move! Either of those has quite ghastly consequences at the mo so it is easier just to grump around and lie on the sofa blogging and watching rubbish telly. I'll call you in the week to arrange 'when I'm better' drink/exhib x

Annie said...

Awww... how hideous. Probably because you're overworked, you know.

Fab, looking forward to it xx

If Geoff and Betty can get away with being all coupley, then me and James have been doing the following today:

1) Reading the Guardian in Caffe Nero
2) Buying some plughole unblocker for the bath from Sainsbury's
3) Sleeping
4) Playing Tomb Raider while drinking tea and eating trail mix
5) Cooking roast lamb

So you can see it's non-stop excitement here in W12.

Aww, it's very heartwarming to hear your kids are all making good progress.

Annie said...

Patroclus, it sound kind of idyllic.
Cheers! (it is all relative though. It could be 'can sit still for longer than 5 seconds' is good progress.)

Okay, hands up who was reading The Sun today? Anybody?

Got to do a pile of ironing and put some limescale remover on the draining board this evening, as well as tidy up because someone is coming round to repair the taps in the kitchen tomorrow morning.

The weekend starts here, as they used to say on Ready, Steady, Go.

We also read the Guardian here at Violet Towers. I watched the FA Cup final and considered poking myself in the eye with a biro to liven the experience up a bit. Now I am watching Dr Who and eating lentils. Soon we will drink cheap Chianti and play the Fury Of Dracula board game. That's all fine by me, I'm bored of excitement in my advanced years.

I was also at home this evening. Dr Who, followed by "Groundhog Day" with Mr K and daughter No.2. Now waiting for daughter No.1 to come home. She may be some time. Hmmm.

Well I stayed at home yesterday. Except for when I popped out to take the cat to the vet and pick up some drycleaning.

Next time you're stuck with school reports, gimme a yell. I'm very good at inserting the phrase 'witless mongflap' into otherwise positive comments.

the whales said...

I was sorting out my parents' new broadband and new computer! No roller skates, no champagne...but a two hundred mile drive.

Timbo said...

I was at work. And yes, it was rubbish.

Istvanski said...

Who is this Guardian person that you all speak of?

Billy said...

I was in Romford with Llewtrah. We had fish and chips and she bought a stupid number of ancient encylopedias from Oxfam.br

Annie said...

This is what I love about blogging. You write a long, lovingly crafted, heartfelt post wrested from the very depths of your creative unconscious and watch the tumbleweed rolling by, then you bash out something in 2 seconds about working on a Saturday and suddenly everybody joins in! I ask you...

rockmother said...

Ha ha - Billy - 'a stupid number of encyclopaedias' now we all know he is prone to number exxageration - Llewtrah bought 6 million encyclopaedia's - bloody hell!

Tim F said...

Seen this?

Annie said...

'Dingbat' and 'wally'? Was it a school report from Grange Hill circa 1983?

Tim F said...

No, then it would have been 'flippin' nutjob'.
