  • Safely declaring NSD #3 as I managed to go to John Lewis and back w/o buying anything. Item returned, money back into my Barclays account. No going out today, sadly, I'd stuck at home - cooking evening.

    I shall be back on Monday for the big 5-in-a-row challenge! The weekend will be relatively 'spendy'... school Christmas fair + friend leaving party. Have a fab weekend everyone!

  • marmite- I am waiting for the right moment to ask Igor about the Yuletide party arrangements as he has a lot on his plate at the moment, and I don't mean the giant marzipan and anchovy stollen we had for dessert at lunch today.....I know it will be sometime week beginning 21st, Chef is dressing up as Father Christmas to hand out all our prezzies, and I have told Igor that there will be trouble if The Good Ole Boys show their faces.

    So that's sorted. It will be a perfect party.

    You're right.Everything has been planned to the nth degree times a billion.
    What could possibly go wrong....apart from Hubert throwing a wobbly because he's mislaid his 'Kiss me quick' festive,girly earrings and matching basque....
    Number 1 NSD in the Cauldron of Doom today - the game has begun!

    Mrs Doyle is very grateful for her Advent calendar prize for yesterday, (a Christmas stocking for a left foot) and also today (a matching one for a right foot).

    I am not so sure, though.

    Christmas stockings - lovely.
    Christmas stockings, second hand, donated by Igor - not!

    I know Igor,that is called scraping the bottom of the barrel.
    Even Mrs Doyle has her limits,so be extra nice to her,or she might cut off our tea supply! :eek:

    No, Mrs Doyle, you need more of a sway in your walk, not a shimmy - you're a crocodile, imagine a humunguous heavy tail swinging behind you! And clack those dentures! Whaddya mean, they're at the dentist's getting mended? What are you going to.do when you catch Captain Hook, gum him to death??


    Chef, it's a crocodile. Not Mrs Doyle with a plate of egg sarnies. Try to look a little more fearful! And use a sword next time, not an egg whisk.

    Yes, Hubert, the Dame does get to wear lots of fancy frocks, and wigs, and shoes. Not the spanx pants, though, you will not be able to breathe in them! It will get very hot under the lights so you need to be comfortable. And if you're sweating buckets your nappy will not stay up.

    Igor, have you got marmite strapped into that harness yet???

    I do so hate the early rehearsals, absolute chaos.....
