  • Igor, listen very carefully. The cast list is as follows:

    Peter Pan - Fabio
    Wendy- Helga
    Tinkerbelle - marmite
    Captain Hook - Chef
    Mr Smee - that's you, Igor
    Ship's Cook (the Dame) - Hubert
    Nana the dog - Tiddles
    The ticking crocodile - Mrs Doyle

    In my role as Director, I have allowed the rest of the NSD gang to be the Chorus, which means they will be assorted Lost Boys and pirates. This means they will not have the stress of having to learn lines at this busy time of year.

    We are still needing Wendy's brothers John and Michael, Mr and Mrs Darling, the chief of the Red Indians, his daughter Tiger Lily, plus various sea creatures. In the absence of anyone available to take these parts, you will be playing them. It will require dedication, concentration and some speedy costume changes.

    I know you can do it.

    You're forgetting talent.
    And while you're at it, Igor, Mrs Doyle has already started rehearsing her part as the ticking crocodile - so go and give her some tips on how to clack her dentures.

    Just make sure that naughty nephew Fabio doesn't post a video of her doing this on twitface.... She'll never forgive me.
    marmite - thank you so much for yesterday's Advent calendar prize - I always wanted a fossilised Brussels sprout, very seasonal!
    I see someone has already opened today's little door, the chocolate has gone, but what was the prize?

    Pleasee don't spred it about about the sprout advent calender pressie....they'll all want one! :eek:

    Yikes zenshi.How come?

    A few years ago, business took a dive hence my DMP and I took a second job while re vamping the business and launching a new website with special offers etc. Since then, it's been growing again and December is usually busy. Working weekends at my second job and flat out in the business means no rest for me! But great for debt busting :T

    Home ill today,tomorrow and yesterday.

    If you owe someone money so you class it as a spend day on the day you owe them or when you actually give them the money back? What's the fairest way i regards to this challenge and that subject?

    Moonbean - to me it makes sense to count the day you hand money over as a spend day.
    Hope you get well soon.

    Knitwitch - put your tape measure away, please. It is far too early to be measuring up Fabio for his panto tights.
