Come on, you lot, are you all still comatose after reaching 1,000 posts last night?

That bar won't re-stock itself you know, and I'm too busy buffing my nails...wink

DameJudyClench Mon 28-Aug-17 21:07:18

But, that's my diet too.

I can't believe it Chewy

I think you might be my <gulp> lost twin!!

Chewbacca Mon 28-Aug-17 20:57:36

How very dare you DameJudy ! That's the photo that was taken when I'd won the slimmer of the decade award at Slimafataholics Anon! I worked damned hard to lose all those 4llbs you know! Only 3 kitkats; 4 Mars bars and 2 Chinese takeaways a day.

DameJudyClench Mon 28-Aug-17 20:52:40

I don't remember giving you permission to use my picture Chewy

Chewbacca Mon 28-Aug-17 20:23:09

I've got trembling knees too lemon. Sadly, nothing to do with excitement these days though.

Marydoll Mon 28-Aug-17 20:22:32

I love this thread! smile

What about offering our little ferret pups as prizes?

lemongrove Mon 28-Aug-17 20:20:02

You certainly do look hot, try wearing an all cotton tshirt next time.??much cooler.
A date with you Mary but what if one of us wins?
I could offer a knee trembler in the cellar, as long as a male person wins!
Or, one of my renowned hedgehog curries ?

Chewbacca Mon 28-Aug-17 20:09:01

Hey! Are you saying that I don't look alluring in my cycling shorts Menopaws ? I'll have you know that men literally fall down when they see me dismount my trusty 3 gear. They look like this ?

Menopaws Mon 28-Aug-17 20:03:59

A date with the vat inspector?

Chewbacca Mon 28-Aug-17 19:49:28

Me in lycra cycling shorts? I look hot!

Marydoll Mon 28-Aug-17 19:06:30

Just to update you all. I have printed the raffle tickets to sell at the wake.(Remember, we discussed it as a way of sorting out our cash flow problem)
First prize is a date with me; second prize, a meal for two, *Menopaw's steak pie, followed by custard; third prize- I'm stumped.
Has anyone anything to offer?

lemongrove Mon 28-Aug-17 16:36:44

What time is the wake? Am getting peckish.

Chewbacca Mon 28-Aug-17 15:55:27

The undertaker Marydoll . Let him out for heaven's sake. Poor man only came to bury Gregory.

Marydoll Mon 28-Aug-17 14:10:04

If the man in the cellar is the VAT inspector, who is the gentleman I locked in the outside loo? confused

Liaise Mon 28-Aug-17 13:41:08

What a way to spend a bank holiday. While you all have been out on the tiles I gave been babysitting four temperamental ferrets - Boris, Theresa, Jeremy and Diane and do they fight. If they don't behave themselves they will be slippers by tomorrow.

The man in the suit shut in the cellar is the VAT inspector. I'm afraid my creative accounting went astray. Maybe a slice of pie would finish him off.

Menopaws Mon 28-Aug-17 02:23:46

No no no not enough meat on a ferret, anyway they are a bit tough....so I've heard

Chewbacca Sun 27-Aug-17 18:38:26

That steak pie wouldn't happen to have ferret in it would it Menopaws ?

Menopaws Sun 27-Aug-17 06:13:52

Special Sunday lunch on the menu today, I've personally made a lovely wholesome steak pie and I am just about to make an apple crumble with...custard. Orders anyone, after all you've got Monday to digest it?

Marydoll Sat 26-Aug-17 22:47:17

I couldn't possibly say on a public forum, especially as it might appear on a certain social media site.grin

Chewbacca Sat 26-Aug-17 22:43:39

Strange items? Like what? I hope she hasn't found the manacles and leg irons I was playing with last night

Marydoll Sat 26-Aug-17 22:40:48

Never Mind Giovanni, he is no more. Let's move on and focus on more important matters.
I thought we could invite the public as well as members to the wake. We could make a fortune, and clear our massive debts.
Unfortunately, the potato gin has disappeared. I thing SOMEONE brought a customer to the cellar last night. There were some strange items lying about this morning.?

Chewbacca Sat 26-Aug-17 22:32:23

Too kind! Thistles would be wonderful lemon, afterall, he was a prickly little bugger.
Marydoll what are you saying? Are you hinting that Menopaws forcefed her lumpy custard to Gordon and choked him? And that she shoved one of her concrete filled meat pies up the drain spout, knowing that it would fall on Graham's little head and get him deaded? But that can't be true! Because that would be MURDER shockshockshock

lemongrove Sat 26-Aug-17 22:25:36

Well, little Gordano may not have been bright or beautiful, but he was one of the 'all creatures great and small'.
Still, Hit The Road, Jack! Is good as well.
Who's doing the funeral flowers? I have lots of thistles in my garden, will they do?
Right, I must go and prepare all the food, we should have a packed bar, as Girton was well loved by all ( wasn't he?)

Marydoll Sat 26-Aug-17 22:17:00

I don't want to be casting aspersions, but isn't it a coincidence that Giovanni met his end a week after eating the infamous lumpy custard?

Chewbacca Sat 26-Aug-17 20:32:19

The lumps in your custard are the stuff that dreams are made of Menopaws . Geronimo was chewing on one of your custard lumps for a week. blissful contentment
