    @Ditzy_Mitzy we've all got time to pick a decade and obtain the New Year's No1, that could cover all attendees ages and maybe liven up the garden as people dance to keep warm.


    Ooh:

    Money (That's What I Want) - The Beatles - 1963
    Money - Pink Floyd -1972
    Money, Money, Money - ABBA - 1976
    Money's Too Tight to Mention - The Valentine Brothers - 1982
    She Works Hard for the Money - Donna Summer - 1983
    Money for Nothing - Dire Straits - 1985
    Money Talks - The Adventures of Stevie V - 1989/90
    Got Your Money - Ol' Dirty Bas***d - 1997

    It wouldn't be half bad.  Maybe others could suggest something too!
    I don't know the last one 😂

    Dirty Cash - Adventures of Stevie V - 1989! 
    Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
  • Let's have another party - Winifred Atwell 1954 (as we all start slipping away, keep it on repeat so we'll remember where to improve during the 2023 NYP)

    It's only make believe - Conway Twitty 1958 ( 🤭)

    I feel fine - the Beetles 1964 (for the drinking game)

    Green, Green grass of home - Tom Jones 1966 (to show the neighbours what fun they're missing)

    I hear you knocking - Dave Edmunds 1970 (when a stray arrives)

    Ernie (the fastest milkman in the west) - Benny Hill 1971 (for when the milk person is delivering the milk for the morning coffee's)
    Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.

    That gave me ear worm, so I just got back from the doctors. "I can't stop singing Green Green Grass of Home" I said.

    Doctor - "Sounds like you have Tom Jones Syndrome".

    "Is that common?" I asked. "It's not unusual" he said.

    I take it you won't be doing the cabaret.

    That is 'Money Talks', as far as I know. But you can have it by that title if I can add 'Money Talks' by JJ Cale.

    Can I see an EICR and gas safety certificate for the property before attending please? If not available please pay for one to be provided. 
    I'd also like a reduction in entrance price of 20% and to leave with more refreshments than I bring because the unicorns said this is fair and just in my position. 
    Thanks
    Can we sit together, please? I'll build you something and you can eat it!


    Please ask me before posting pics of me and my family. 🤣

    Hadn't ever occured to me that was where your name game from. Where's Sprocket?

    Can I come?  I shall bring as much to drink as can be reasonably fitted in a Happy Shopper carrier bag, probably a bottle of Smirnoff, another of Malibu and a litre and a half of someone's own-brand cola; and shall then spend most of the evening hanging about on your patio and smoking, having already demanded an ashtray/old baked bean tin with some water in (depending on what's available).  

    Oh, and what records, tapes or CDs should the partygoers bring?  We'll need a decent selection.

    I understand that @Crashy_Time is unavailable, but @Sarah1Mitty2 might be able to attend.

    Likewise no @G M, but you could invite @canaldumidi.

    Is it bring a bottle?
    There is a suggestion here https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6411365/how-much-under-asking-price-are-you-offering#latest which would mean it could be interesting to try introducing @TonyTeacake to @Sarah1Mitty2

    Looking forward to tonight.  It should be quite a bash.

    Is the rule to be maintained that there is to be no discussion of the housing market or the economy?  Might limit the number of fights.
