After the success of our long camping trip, is anybody up for a grand Christmas Party?
All of Gransnet is invited, it will be held on the 23rd December and will entail an overnight stay.Usual rules apply....alphabetical order, be as inventive as you like , and as Christmassy etc.

Alka Selzter! ?

Santa's little helpers to clear up and use the rubbish bags.

Toothpaste. Those travel size ones. Some of us bound to forget.

Unusual going-ons upstairs after the party (tchgrin

Cherrytree59 Tue 20-Dec-16 19:47:01

Unusual or usual roses??

Vault. (I'm sure there will be a least one. Lady roses will probably store the family silver in there)

rosesarered Tue 20-Dec-16 19:56:33

Oh unusual ( these days) Cherry tchgrin

Yes, the vault does hold the family silver, also the family diamond tiara ( although of course, I shall be wearing it for the party.)

Warming pans... those beds in the wing with the leaky roof are bound to be cold and damp.

XYZ. (Don't think we need any more xylophones) !

Adieu, arrivederci, adios, auf wiedersehen - a song to say goodbye. Shall we compose one?

Bells (for the reindeer)

Co-operation. Lord and Lady Roses will need it!

rosesarered Wed 21-Dec-16 21:08:47

We certainly will, we only employ around 40 servants after all.So every Gransnetter to the pump ( although not literally of course, we do have running water inside, these days.)

Dinner services...... we hesitate to use the Sevres china dinner service, so could you all bring your own plates please? The second best cutlery will be provided, and the third best glassware.???

English Breakfast tea - It's the only one I drink at breakfast time

Iguanas- is it true that you have a 'collection' of them at roses towers?

Note to self what is the collective noun for iguanas.....

Moonlight. I'm sure the terrace will be lit but the moon will just add atmosphere

Jayh Thu 22-Dec-16 10:26:12
