Well I believe it is Rufus2 91st on the 8th. We are holding an impromptu virtual party for him. All you need to do is say what you are bringing or doing and what you will wear.

Rufus has promised to be on his best behaviour ?

I will be DJing and wearing a rather fetching sparkly purple jump suit. And before you ask Rufus you can't come in your Birthday suit, this is a respectable party.

Over to you.

Well, I’ll bring some fizz along, lots and lots . And also as I don’t have to actually cook it, an enormous cake ( No Rufus, nobody will be jumping out of it)

I think that rufus might enjoy a fancy dress party? If so I shall arrive as QE2 ( the Queen, not the ship !) in a very posh frock, jewels and Tiara, as I know that Rufus likes to be reminded of the ‘old country’ .
If no fancy dress , then something sparkly whilst trying not to overshadow the DJ.

I am awaiting delivery of a floaty batwinged sleeved top seen online.
If it fits and doesn't make me look like mutton dressed as lamb , I will be wearing that with white linen trousers.
I will bring lots of canapes as I love them with a drink, prerably the fizz Oopsadaisy is bringing and while I really don't like mentioning it I will be 81 just 4 days later, so can I have a very small early cake, pretty please.

I have just completed my grade I belly dancing exam so I could put on my baggy silk trousers and diamanté top and entertain dear Rufus with my wobbly bits.

annsixty - Happy Birthday for 12th July - in case I forget. Here is the cupcake I will be sending you and some wine smile

I will bring some Kentish apple juice for the Tee totallers (not me) and a couple of cold pasta salads.
I'm toying with wearing my luminous orange trousers and lime top.....what do you think ??

annsixty Thu 05-Jul-18 11:47:17

Sounds good nina but like you I will ignore the Apple juice,.
Thanks for the birthday greeting DanniRae so kind of you.

NanKate Thu 05-Jul-18 12:04:12

You will look a treat Oops as QE2 in fact bring a bit of class to the occasion. Shall we sing ‘God Save the Queen’ at the end ?

cavewoman Thu 05-Jul-18 12:57:16

I will provide the bunting. Union Jack of course.

NanKate Thu 05-Jul-18 13:11:57

Let’s have a double party Ann I am sure Rufus won’t mind.

annsixty Thu 05-Jul-18 13:14:47

Thank you.
My new top has been delivered but I haven't tried it on yet.
I will report later.

Cake! Gransnet will supply cake (and candles?) for Rufus and AnnSixty and anyone else who has a July birthday. We're quite partial to our all-in-one chocolate cake, but happy to take requests. grin cupcake

Oopsadaisy53 Thu 05-Jul-18 13:22:29

nankate you can sing what you like at the end, I doubt I will be upright enough to hear you!

Happy returns in advance Annsixty same day as my DD1, I’ll raise a glass or 3 to you.....

Are we having party games? I can hitch me frock up if necessary .....

Oopsadaisy53 Thu 05-Jul-18 13:31:10

Eglantine21 Thu 05-Jul-18 13:34:07

Oh, oh, it’s my birthday too. All the best people are born n July!!!!

I am wearing the ultra posh outfit I bought for sons wedding that I will otherwise never wear again.

And before anybody says anything it was a very, very posh wedding......

annsixty Thu 05-Jul-18 13:34:20

Wow is all I can say.
As somebody once said about children, I don't think I can eat a whole one. But I can try.

annsixty Thu 05-Jul-18 13:35:33

Photograph please Eglantine

MawBroon Thu 05-Jul-18 13:40:56

Love that cake!
Love the sound of annsixty’s outfit (cant beat a white trouser IMHO)
Count me in, please smile As cake, fizz and candles seem to be sorted, perhaps some sossies to fling on the barbie? (Regardless of season)
Or a tinny or two?

Blinko Thu 05-Jul-18 13:44:28

Sounds like fun. Can anybody come?

Eglantine21 Thu 05-Jul-18 13:58:32

Well the hat is in store, because I’m moving soon but think matching the jacket, flowers and all.

Pity I’ve photographed it hanging against the toilet door.......

bikergran Thu 05-Jul-18 14:01:45
