Exercise machines !!! ????

No not to use them just to laugh at while we tuck into all the goodies tchgrin

Chewbacca Tue 03-Dec-19 22:39:49

Free champagne all night.

Bellanonna Tue 03-Dec-19 22:40:50

For goodness sake! But I bet some of those grans will go for a treadmill run (just to make us feel bad)

Doodle Tue 03-Dec-19 22:48:49

Hope not ? can you imagine all the bodies falling over. As for lemon ooh pardon me LadyLemon she’d be the first to go a* over tip with those 10” heels ? she wears tchgrin

Ice sculptures of peacocks and swans.

Ooh nice touch DanniRae tchgrin

Jumping - trampolines so we can shake our own cocktails ??

Bellanonna Wed 04-Dec-19 11:22:41

Just wondering - any celebs coming? Lady L must know quite a few...

Bellanonna Wed 04-Dec-19 11:23:54

Sorry Doodle, x2 Js. Oh well, more the merrier. Love the cocktail shaking idea!?

Kicking and sharp elbows not allowed in the rush for the last mince pie.

Lord Lemongrove staggering about ( with a drink in each hand)

lemongrove Wed 04-Dec-19 14:44:27

( one doesn’t like to name drop Bella....but I was hoping that
Lady Kitty of Leicester may drop in, also The Countess of Soop, and Lady Jane10 from the Highlands ( although she doesn’t go far these days.) Then there are possibly the Duchess Carillion and Countess Scribbles.??)

lemongrove Wed 04-Dec-19 14:45:17

Mince pies, fresh supplies flown in for us!

Scribbles Wed 04-Dec-19 17:13:48

Not using my title tonight, daaahlings.

Scribbles Wed 04-Dec-19 17:17:24

Nectar Points - Lady Lemon must have collected loads doing the shopping for this bash!

DanniRae Wed 04-Dec-19 18:17:46

OH! I am so excited about this Ball!! I can't wait!! grin

Chewbacca Wed 04-Dec-19 18:26:29

Private hire taxis, free of course, to take everyone to the Ball and then home again.

threexnanny Wed 04-Dec-19 19:55:04

Queezy - too much rich food!

Doodle Wed 04-Dec-19 20:03:34

Really comfy massage seats with foot massage for in between the dancing.
By the way LadyLemon I would like to be known by my full title when my entrance will be announced on the night of the ball.
Her Highness Queen of all she survey and Lady of the Order of the Argy and MKE (Member of the Kitchen EMPIRE)

Doodle Wed 04-Dec-19 20:06:19

Sorry my spelling and typing have gone a bit wonky. I popped into the Argy for a quick half of Harpic before coming here. You will note however, that I am still managing alphabetic order. Also please note I AM NOT DOING Y AGAIN TONIGHT ?

Bellanonna Wed 04-Dec-19 20:30:54

Tiaras for everyone given the elite guests about whom Lady L is so fond of name dropping. We hoi polloi must keep up standards.

lemongrove Wed 04-Dec-19 20:58:54

(Doodle....you deserve a medal, not only are you drinking up the ‘to be used’ Harpic before we shut up shop, but for doing all the Y’s for our ball!?) They don’t make them like you anymore ?

lemongrove Wed 04-Dec-19 21:01:08

Uggs....I recommend a pair for anyone staying overnight, wear them in the four poster bed, our bedrooms are on the chilly side.❄️

Bellanonna Wed 04-Dec-19 21:13:11

Viennese waltz. A few of those will warm you up.

Chewbacca Wed 04-Dec-19 21:13:28

Verve Clicquot to staff freely????????
