    Hubert I promise to knit you some pink and sparkly hotpants - just make sure the evening is sorted out

    Fast forward to next weekend.......
    Next couple tonight, dancing the samba, are Hubert and his partner Flanzanella Flopalotolovski. Hubert is wearing neon pink sequinned hotpants with matching pink sequinned stilettos, two pairs of course. And look at them go! Shaking their booty across the dance floor, get that crazy samba rhythm....And a mega shakey thing from Hubert......oh no! Something on his hotpants has snapped.......thousands of sequins sprayed across the floor......stand by with your needle and thread, knitwitch, this has been a complete and utter disaaaaster, daaaahling...

    Right, Igor, as soon as you find out how many NSD gang members will be coming to the party, let knitwitch know so she can start doing the costumes. Should be a doddle for her because the ladies on Strictly seem to wear less every year.....will have to order a skip full.of sequins (keep away from Hubert or he'll start hyperventilating), and must not forget the gallons of orange spray tan.....hey, BigMumma, can we borrow your spray gun? You can finish creosoting your fence first......

    Yep that's fine.. do you want the creosote too? It's not quite as orangy as Antique Dealer Glow, but darker than SoopaModel Simper; mixed it mesen from some chip shop onion vinegar & Tang going cheap up the dump :D

    I'm on no3 of this month's quest, despite my best efforts to find a purse for me muvva online. Hoo'da thunk there were sooooo many designs, all as impractical as each other :doh: & of no use to her in any shape or form :(

    Hoping for another NSD today as no plans to go anywhere or spend anything - watch this space......

    BigMumma - cheers for volunteering the services of your spray gun. Not so sure about the shade of orange, though, I suppose as long as it is the discreet side of nectarine that might do......so, you want to do the jive.......Igor! Who do you have down as BigMumma's partner? Oh really? You don't mean him with the mahoosive.....oh dear. She is going to eat him alive.

  • Spend day today - I foolishly bought a book (£3 Christmas treat). On the one hand, I don't regret it but when I got home I realised that I couldn't add to my NSD total and immediately regretted it. This challenge is really getting to me! :)
