Kraftwerk on the gramophone so we can stomp in our jewels and wellies

Designer handbags to dance around ?

Scribbles Fri 20-Dec-19 22:57:37

blush Embarrassed now; I don't generally forget myself and over indulge like that. Sorry, everyone.

Oooooh. Is that egg nog? That'll settle my stomach beautifully.

Cherrytree59 Fri 20-Dec-19 23:01:28

Figs (syrup of ..)
scribbles may I suggest a spoonful or two?

Doodle Fri 20-Dec-19 23:06:36

Goodness me cherry. Please don’t give scribbles syrup of figs as well ?. We could be cleaning up all night!

Doodle Fri 20-Dec-19 23:08:23

Hard hats. In case of hailstones.?❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Scribbles Fri 20-Dec-19 23:25:28

Infatuation. I think Lord L may be my new passion. He's gorgeous and I never could resist a man in lacy underwear. (Don't worry Lemon. I wouldn't dream of actually doing anything - er, you know. I'm shy and will hero worship from afar.)

Jealousy is a terrible thing.......I may have to come after you with Lord L’s shotgun Scribbles !?

Kippers. Hit her with kippers lemon it’s less dangerous and the smell will put him off ?

Scribbles Sat 21-Dec-19 16:25:11

Lovely! Hit me with the kippers, Lemon. I just lurv a nice meaty kipper for my breakfast with a fried egg and some fresh bread & butter. Great stuff after a hard night's carousing.

Doodle Sat 21-Dec-19 22:43:28

Marmalade on toast for me if we’re giving breakfast orders.
Will the butler be serving in the dining room lemon tchgrin

lemongrove Sat 21-Dec-19 22:45:17

Mmmmmmm, many thanks but would rather save the kippers for another day ( waste not want not, as dear old nanny used to say.)

lemongrove Sat 21-Dec-19 22:46:30

No, he will be busy serving me in the butler’s pantry.tchwink

Doodle Sat 21-Dec-19 22:51:16

Ooh you hussy (hope he washes his hands before he serves lunch ?)

Scribbles Sun 22-Dec-19 12:35:35

Prosecco, then? Just a few bubbles for brekky if we can't have kippers?

Scribbles Sun 22-Dec-19 12:37:33

Perhaps in the gallery with a gentle piano accompaniment to soothe our frazzled heads?

Doodle Sun 22-Dec-19 15:17:16

Queue for butler service here then. Two lots of kippers and Prosecco. Any musical requests scribbles?

Scribbles Sun 22-Dec-19 15:28:06

Rolling Stones' Honky Tonk Women might fit the bill nice!y!

Doodle Sun 22-Dec-19 17:02:09

Slade’s Christmas song too. After the kippers and Prosecco we’ll be ready to dance the night away tchgrin ........or be sick ?

Scribbles Mon 23-Dec-19 10:34:13

Trampoline. I've just found the Little Lemons' trampoline in the walled garden and it's HUGE fun, leaping up and down in my slightly tattered sequined gown and trying to hold on to my glass of Prosecco while singing loudly.
DO come and join me! Wheeee! Sproing! Twang! Wheeeee .... Oo-er.....

Urgent referral to Mr. Jones the Bones Orthopaedic Surgeon at Lemongrove Hospital.

Gemini1789 Mon 23-Dec-19 14:04:14

Very
(sorry.Didn’t realise my fun Christmas alphabet duplicated this thread kinda , sort of.
Will you forgive me if I wear my )
Valuable vintage vest ?

Scribbles Mon 23-Dec-19 19:03:51

Whoopee! Jones the Bones says there's no serious damage, only bruising and a sprained ankle. So I've come limping back to see if I missed anything thrilling and/or scandalous while I waited for my turn in X-ray?
(Love the vest, Gemini. Having "Santa is Gay but don't tell Marydoll" in sequins across your chest adds a real touch of class.)

Gemini1789 Mon 23-Dec-19 19:22:26

Xcuse me , Scribbles . My chest is not that big !
And I’ve just wasted 5 minutes of my life searching through this thread to find out why you had a ‘thing’ for Lord Lucan only to find it’s Lemon’s OH you lust after.

Doodle Mon 23-Dec-19 19:26:24

I don’t b****y believe it. I’ve got Y AGAIN!!!!!!!!

Yellow River. Song from my teens with very catchy chorus. I loved it when I was younger. Anyone remember it ?
