Alphabetical order ...be inventive.

Thank you for those few kind words grannycool and Doodle you know me so well.
I do enjoy a grand entry when I can get it, and like to dress to impress!
On the night of our grand Christmas ball, Lord L and my good self will be waiting to welcome you on the terrace, me with my two excitable puppies and Lord L with his sword stood to attention in your honour...we can hardly wait.?

Labradors....we have about five, but you may all bring yours too.
Tatler, our butler, will take charge of them for you ( for a small fee.)

Merriment - I expect lots of this.......especially as the fizz takes effect wine tchwink

Naughtiness, Gransnetters are renowned for this.

Outrageous fashions, jewellery, make up and coiffures

eGJ Fri 29-Nov-19 10:30:29

Roast chestnuts ( a tad boring after all the above, but they are seasonal!)

Doodle Fri 29-Nov-19 10:54:29

P is peed off at being missed. So perhaps plentiful punch with peaches pineapple and plums ?

Doodle Fri 29-Nov-19 10:55:42

Q missed too so we will have some queues as there will be many wanting the loo ??

Doodle Fri 29-Nov-19 10:57:11

egj provided the roast chestnuts so now
S for saucy behaviour (back to you again lemon ?)

lemongrove Fri 29-Nov-19 11:02:37

tchgrin

Yes, out loo facilities are a bit outdated here, one bathroom on the second floor and one in each wing.
We still have the original claw foot baths and the amusing long lavvy chains with a pull handle.Still, us old girls can handle our booze can’t we? can’t we.....
The menfolk only need to go out onto the terrace and pee over the lavender hedge ( which unfortunately, due to staff shortages has grown a bit high!)

lemongrove Fri 29-Nov-19 11:04:09

Tap shoes.....there is going to be a talent show after dinner.

lemongrove Fri 29-Nov-19 11:05:14

Urgent banging on the loo doors wink

eGJ Fri 29-Nov-19 11:43:06

Worse for wear (at least me missing out the peeing and queuing)

Warm longjohns

Scribbles Fri 29-Nov-19 11:47:21

Very annoyed at being missed - sweet Vermicelli, sprinkled on some of the trifles

JessK Fri 29-Nov-19 11:47:28

X-rated entertainment

eGJ Fri 29-Nov-19 12:57:53

Zebra print hot pants and a chance of some shut eye zzzzzzzzzz which is obviously what I have been doing today. Sorry folks sad

Doodle Fri 29-Nov-19 13:05:03

Aardvark. For no other reason than I’ve always wanted to use the word. Plus it might be entertaining (not sure what one is actually ?)

Doodle Fri 29-Nov-19 13:06:47

Just looked it up. Long pig like snout used to sniff out food....sounds just like me actually ?
