I've noticed that new names are popping up quite a lot recently, so wanted to say hello and welcome. Do come on here and introduce yourselves/say hello.
smile We're a friendly lot - honest!

What's your fave malt, super? I've got Ardbeg in my head (nearly a rhyme!) because you did tell us once, but I'm not sure that's right. Mine's Double Matured Dalwhinnie, if anyone should happen upon a bottle they don't need.

That's it then! Champagne private party in Super's private room. (You'll have to borrow a lap-top Super)

I didn't get any booze in hospital, but my neighbour, who has had 2 hips replaced, had a champagne party in the local private hospital!

jeni Sat 10-Mar-12 16:07:56

The baby! I MUST preview!!!

jeni Sat 10-Mar-12 16:07:22

Thebany?

Go for it Super " a little bit of what you fancy...."

When I was in hospital after giving birth to my first baby, my husband brought in a bottle of coke laced with vodka!!!
I can't remember who drank it. hmm

supernana Sat 10-Mar-12 11:32:18

Oops! Malt whisky without the i...slurp wink

jeni Sat 10-Mar-12 11:23:44

Definitely!

supernana Sat 10-Mar-12 11:19:47

jeni now here comes the good bit. Had right hip replaced in a place that I equated with purgatory. This time, as an NHS patient, I've been offered [out of the blue] a bed in a private hospital. Bring on the jollies grin

nanachrissy should I smuggle in a water bottle topped up with a good, life-enhancing mailt whisky...or not? wink

Would you believe it hmm I was all 'tarted up' and ready to do a bit of movin' and shakin' with the rest of the rabble, when, bless me, I nodded off. I seem to remember a howling outside the window...must have been Rory, totally fed up with not having found himself a new willing wifelet...or, it could have been the 'polis' siren as the car sped to wherever the party was getting out of hand. Well, as I say, I know nuffink. Having trawled through the nightie dept on sites that were totally inappropriate [for a nice lady to wear in an upmarket bed], I settled for two nightshirts...classic...decent...hopefully covering the saggy bits. Hey ho! I should know the actual date of surgery by Monday. Certainly within the next two weeks. I don't have a lap-top, so I'm going to suffer major GN withdrawel symptoms when I'm bed-bound. Aw...I shall miss the merry banter. Do so wish you could visit and share a nice cup of tea and choc biscuit. We could have such fun. And, as you know, laughter is the best medicine grin

A waning moon long haunted,by woman wailing for her demon lover!

Carol Thu 08-Mar-12 22:16:06

I'm baaaa---aaackkkk! Been watching David Walliams swimming - what a trouper!

What's this about stone police - me and the filth are not on good terms at the moment - I skipped bail, so there's a warrant out. Something to do with breach of the peace which I categorically deny! grin

glassortwo Thu 08-Mar-12 22:05:50

annobel dont worry butter is experienced grin

Annobel Thu 08-Mar-12 22:03:39

glass, don't tempt providence... wink

Butternut Thu 08-Mar-12 21:56:52

Sat. night sounds good - a waning moon - long shadows.......
a (virtual) midnight gathering...might all be tucked up if it's actually midnight!! grin

glassortwo Thu 08-Mar-12 21:51:22

Fri/Sat night or do you think it is too early for gathering the troops.

Butternut Thu 08-Mar-12 21:48:26

We need Carol to divert the stone-police...........grin

When though?

glassortwo Thu 08-Mar-12 21:43:06

jeni & butter Stonehenge sounds good to me, I cant possibly get into too much trouble there..... can I. grin

Butternut Thu 08-Mar-12 21:39:10

Stonehenge - grand idea Jeni, but we'd definitely have to divert the security!
I was arrested at Stonehenge many years ago doing a hippy thing with the sun rise - pre. barrier days!!
Let's go there!

mammo Thu 08-Mar-12 21:28:22

Thanks for the welcome Annobel. Will get my party shoes out of mothballs!

Annobel Thu 08-Mar-12 21:18:35

Welcome. mammo flowers just look for a thread you like the look of and post whatever you like. We can be more than a little crazy at times but we are also supportive and friendly - even occasionally wise. If you click on forums and then look for threads on your chosen forum, you will soon see the variety of things we cover. We even have 'virtual parties'. Don't ask!

mammo Thu 08-Mar-12 21:13:59
