As time is galloping on could you please add your name to the thread if you are coming to gally's on the 3rd of October. Then we can talk about the catering once we have established who is coming. smile

Goodnight, Gally, GA and Grannylin moon

Gally Tue 02-Oct-12 22:11:58

Anno Yes I have GA and Grannylin staying for 2 nights so I am sure they will want a shower at some point - if not I shall force them into it grin. They arrived this afternoon and we haven't stopped talking since 2 o'clock. Just off to early bed so we are ready for tomorrow.

glassortwo Tue 02-Oct-12 21:16:03

moomin Tue 02-Oct-12 21:02:32

soop Tue 02-Oct-12 18:13:55

absent smile I hope that you're keeping well. It's at this point that I shall log off [jobs to do] and wish you all a very peaceful goodnight. Safe journeys to those on the move tomorrow. moon

absentgrana Tue 02-Oct-12 17:20:23

soop You look lovely – and so elegant.

soop Tue 02-Oct-12 17:14:58

Gally I shall check one last time before unplugging the computer. If you have no preferences, I shall bring along a wee selection of sweet and savoury goodies.
Have put my hair in rollers. May need to sleep in a few. What some gels do in order to look passable. hmm

annodomini Tue 02-Oct-12 14:59:48

Gally, do you anticipate having to give one of your guests a shower? grin

soop Tue 02-Oct-12 14:50:38

Back from work. Buzzing with excitement. Daft as a brush - Me, that is! Gally you haven't replied to my last message. Are you short of savoury or sweet fodder?
Mr soop is bringing his good camera. Before he buzzes off to look at the local scenery, he's promised to take a group photo. Cheesy grin

Gally Mon 01-Oct-12 21:47:56

Oh it's nothing Moomin !! (strangulated emoticon)
GillieB - under the sofas just in case anyone collapses with excitement and, while lying on the floor, see the state of underneath! I'm trying to rustle up a suitable butler - but no luck so far. Maybe Brian, our local 'tramp' would like a wee job for the day?
GA no loo cleaning necessary now - even had a go at the showers.
I am so excited, I don't think I will sleep for the next fortnight grin

glassortwo Mon 01-Oct-12 21:01:28

marelli I look forward to meeting lurkio grin

Marelli Mon 01-Oct-12 20:47:40

I'll bring Lurkio - not her real name. Well, she's bringing me, actually! She's posted rarely, but reads posts avidly.....wink....and is my good friend of 30 years. smile

harrigran Mon 01-Oct-12 20:44:06

Hi everyone, I won't be online tomorrow as I am travelling up to Scotland. Will have my camera, looking forward to seeing you all. Did we establish a time ?

moomin Mon 01-Oct-12 20:37:33

Have camera, will bring glass

grannyactivist Mon 01-Oct-12 20:27:43

Gally, please save the toilet cleaning for me to do tomorrow. We had FIVE toilets in this house when we bought it so I really have had plenty of experience and would love to have something useful to do.grin

Grannylin Mon 01-Oct-12 19:55:04

Just realised I 'm the only one not 'blued' so have rushed a quick profile so someone might recognise me and be kind to a furriner (not furrier as iPad suggested)!

glassortwo Mon 01-Oct-12 19:23:45

elegran grin

My camera is broken so I am hoping someone has their camera with them, I will have my phone but you need binoculars to see the photos.

Elegran Mon 01-Oct-12 19:21:18

Several of those who will be there are naturalised Scots, so you won't need an interpreter.

Scots are quite accustomed to modulating their accents for the higgerant furriners anyway (the glaikit southrons)

glassortwo Mon 01-Oct-12 19:21:14

gally dont go cleaning for us. Let me know if there is anything else you need it wont take any carrying in the car.

I am looking forward to Wednesday its a bit like waiting for Christmas coming grin

I will make sure I check MrB newly cut lawns when I pick you up GillieB

Still no word from GillyBob so I am assuming she cant make it sad
