Gransnet Grotto

Seems ages since we had a quiet corner bolt hole, so how about a new seasonal one ?smile
Just a little spot to come and visit from time to time and re-charge batteries. Nothing heavy or serious ever happens in here, it's a place for bantering and smiling.
If it's a Grotto, maybe a few twinkly lights over the entrance? Plenty of squishy sofas for relaxing. I've left a plate of mince pies on the table and a flask of hot chocolate, so help yourselves.
Does anyone have any nice scented candles?

shock - would you credit it!

Notsogrand Thu 13-Dec-12 22:40:11

I just Wiki'd morbid jealousy and apparently it's a psychiatric disorder, so you probably can get a sick note for it!

Notsogrand Thu 13-Dec-12 22:34:47

I can't be doing with getting stressed. Will join you for a spot of mulled wine gracesmum

gracesmum Thu 13-Dec-12 22:26:34

Can you get a sick note for it?
It seems to have been very quiet in here and I for one could do with somewhere to hunker down and not hear sniping about this and about that and people getting stressed.
Oh and while I am at it, some mulled wine would go down a treat.

No someone today said that was what they suffered from!

Notsogrand Thu 13-Dec-12 18:04:06

Is someone jealous of you jeni? smile

jeni Thu 13-Dec-12 17:49:50

I've got one thanks. After the day I've I've had today I need it! Has anybody ever heard of morbid jealousy?

Ariadne Thu 13-Dec-12 17:48:28

Never mind, jeni have a drink!

jeni Thu 13-Dec-12 17:45:46

Who is GEORGE? I've never heard of him .
Apart from my uncle George and he's dead!

annodomini Thu 13-Dec-12 17:35:01

I'm just recovering from last night's mulled wine and I'm sure a Bellini (pauper's or not] will be just the thing. wine Cheers!

Ariadne Thu 13-Dec-12 17:31:45

Hello! I need to rest my weary bones, so can I have a corner of the settee, please? If you mix this peach liqueur with this Cava you get a sort of poor woman's Bellini - do have some. I've brought plenty and can always nip back for more. Mmmm lovely!

Notsogrand Thu 13-Dec-12 17:11:49

Just popped in after an afternoon out and about gracesmum smile How is George anyway?

gracesmum Thu 13-Dec-12 16:54:56

Am I all alone in here?sad Apart from George that iswink

gracesmum Thu 13-Dec-12 10:28:00

Part the second:

He said "Time for coffee,
Is it white or just black?"
And now she felt shivers go all down her back
He smiled that great smile and she felt all ecstatic
while George poured a cup of the finest of lattes (again, poetic licence)
She said "You know how I like a good brew
And maybe a biscuit if it's all right with you."

The moral is girls, if you're good all year through
Hang your stocking up now - THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU grin

That friendship cake is sounding more and more like something out of a Stephen King novel day by day....confused

JessM Wed 12-Dec-12 19:10:39

Take a bow gracesmum and accept a round of applause.
I have heard that so called friendship cake is a beast from the dark lagoon, you have to keep feeding it and if you are not careful if fills not only your fridge but that of all your acquaintances with an insatiable life form. Just remember that it is alive.

Ana Wed 12-Dec-12 18:29:36

Fantastic, gracesmum!
