Today...I am mostly reet naffed off.....

[Hippona]

..for no reason

You name it, I could have a rant off about it.......(number one at present being call-router things that don't have the option you want and no option to talk to an advisor....so the only option left is bellowing down the phone at an automated voice....

)

.........so instead I propose a virtual tea-party...

I can provide tea/coffee.....with added brandy/whisky if required....

Also party hoop biscuits, jammie dodgers and trifle. I could even be persuaded to pin -the-tail on something

(dog/donkey/farm-cat) if numbers sufficient..

So...MrsM, Hovis+Sids Mum and Slinky Unicorn...you are usually up for a bit of cake etc...get baking+ get your tupperware and bunting out

 

[camilla4]

ooooooo - did someone mention cake?!!!!

 

[muffinino]

Quick, get to the Soapbox - there's a thread in there calling out for a subject to rant about!

 

[samstar]

slinky is on a diet so won't be allowed to join the party

 

[ester]

I'm not on a diet so I'm here, I can supply double choc chip cookies, big ones though granted not many left!

can we have pink wafers too?

 

[Hippona]

Well, thats no excuse.....

........we need a party to cheer us up....the moaning old bags like me who have nowt to moan about ( blame hormones) and the poor souls with poorly ponies.....
I can also feel a glass (i.e.bottle) of wine calling me, and I haven't had a drink in AGES!!! (i.e. a week)

 

[jesterfaerie]

Ooo cake, count me in!

[ester]

I also have an authentic mexican piñata hanging above my head I could give it a trial wack, though I think tis empty

 

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

Tupperware?!!! Bunting?
Do I sound like an 80's reject?!!

I'm the champagne and class kinda girl I'll have you know! all those years of private education

Mind you I'm anyones for a slice of victoria sponge!

 

[Hippona]

Whack away, you never know......I am still at work, I could knock up a game of darts with some syringes and get the nitrous oxide out for a laugh...( and then get struck off....

)..

 

[Chico Mio]

May I offer a tray of Millionaire's Shortbread? Son has gone home to UK so I'd rather like some help eating it. I'm sorting out all the 'naughty' things I had while he was here that I shouldn't be eating sooooooo:

Choccy digestives
2 bags of crisps
Bag of jelly sweets (Haribo style)

also up for grabs.

Large jug of sangria? I found a bottle of red wine while I was clearing out my store cupboard and I can add some of OH's brandy while he's not looking.

It's a fiesta!!!!

 

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

We could play pin the lickit on the Destroyer.................. oh no - wait he's already done that!

LOL!... I think I must have been having a flashback to the 1978 Silver Jubilee street party I was FORCED to attend...( showing my age there)

 

[ester]

I can go an make some dry ice bombs, always fun for scaring people!

I am also surrounded by ballons in my office!

 

[ester]

yes poppymoo, some of us weren't even BORN in 1978........

just to rub it in!

 

[Hippona]

Yeah ChicoMia....!!! Fiesta sounds soooo much better than a tea party...

...I'm off to the offy! Its my round!

Git........this is supposed to be a cheering up tea party/fiesta...if you are not careful I will ban you for being underage seeing as ChicoMia has turned it into an alcoholic festival

 

[ester]

LOL, I am not that young...........! Sangria all the way please

 

[Chico Mio]

I can do tinto de verano too - like sangria but less sweet and no fruit. Also various tapas available for those who prefer savoury snackettes?

*Wanders off to poke in cupboard and fridge*

Anchovy stuffed olives, sheeps cheese, toasted almonds with chilli and salt, erm, chorizo? (someone eat that, please or the cats will have it).

ETA Oh yes, I have 2 cases of good German lager too

 

[ester]

I like sweeeeeeeet!

anchovy blurgh
sheeps cheese probably blurgh
chilli blurgh
chorizo- yup I'll have that pre cake

 

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

tinto de verano - now you're talking.
God I could MURDER a glass. We're out at home after mum and Dad have gone back to spain.
Boo hoo!!

 

[Hippona]

I have at the most an hour left at work.....after our party/Spanish booze fest (liking the tapas BTW) I plan on some equine therapy followed by glass(es) of wine on the patio....

All welcome, if you can get past the dogs ...bring a vat (or 2)

 

[f_s_]

I can add wine, sherry, Pimms and a nice cold bottle of Champagne (that I've been keeping on hold, but, hell, why not!!)

Oh has baked a chocolate cake?? Any good?? He's going through his "Naked Chef" phase!!!

 

[Hippona]

Chocolate cake....lovely. I will nip round to the shop and get some pouring cream.....

I suppose I could force some cold champers down if pushed

 

[camilla4]

Popped out and missed the tea party but like the sound of the booze up that seems to be developing! Can I be rude and invite myself - I have a case of wine just begging to be shared and lots of nibbles knocking around......?

 

[camilla4]

Gotta say it Poppymoo 'cos otherwise someone else will - if you were at a Silver Jubilee party in 1978, you were a year too late (either that or it was a hell of a party and was still going a year later!).

 

[Ellies_mum2]

Knowing Poppymoo it was probably one hell of a party even back then

I can add some vodka to the table and a bag of chocolate filled doughnuts

 

[f_s_]

Ummm Chocolate doughnuts!!! Now you're talking my language!!!

That's just what I was thinking!

Is this party still going, I might pop along if so. Can bring vodka/bacardi/jack daniels!
