There are a lot of us on our own.
The last party was aborted due to greatnan's death !
Is anyone interested in one?
The venue I suggest should be

BALMORAL

As I have not yet changed out of my frogman suit, I shall go behind the screen, this could take a while.

Yes that was me upstairs, I was getting my puppies off the broomstick. They've said the corgis can have some of their chews.

Did someone mention vodka jellies?

Ooops! sorry, Galen that cooler bag catapulted off my leg and landed in the kennels. It might still be there, if the dogs will let me back in. I'll go and have a look when I've got my bearings.

Where are all the Ghillies, to do a reel with, they are light footed I hear

Psst! Over here, behind the big curtain to your left. We've been told to look out for gatecrashers. I just hope you didn't bring any attention to yourselves crashing in here on that huge broomstick! I'd love a drink anyone? please! Sorry I can't hang around as I'm on official business. wink I've got a babysitting stint for the evening. A little baby boy in a frilly dress, he's very sweet. I mentioned Gransnet and the family thought I must be very sensible.
Better go. Look out for the celebs hanging around. Roger Moore is in the kitchen helping himself to the mince pies. I'd keep your cashmere vests on the whole place is only being kept warm with a 2 bar electric heater which looks as though it should be on Flog It.
Happy New Year!

Right, ladeeeeezzzz!!! Two dozen vodka jellies and did I have to fight for them! Just blow the dog hairs off - you won't notice after the first one. I just tried two! blimey, glamma what did you put in them?

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 23:17:40

Wow! Charlotte! Can we put pictures on any thread now!

bikergran Tue 31-Dec-13 23:18:03

glammanana Tue 31-Dec-13 23:18:19

Its freezing here there is not a heater in sight I'll have to wrap that blanket around to keep warm, all us Grans and one little electric fire ? must remind her maj.to claim her heating allowance.
Anyone for a takeaway just found a few menu's for Indian & Domino's(must be from when Harry is in residence) we could order in and charge it to the Estate tchwink

bikergran Tue 31-Dec-13 23:19:33

wasn't a truncheon was a salami sausage for the food table..silly me smile

newist Tue 31-Dec-13 23:19:40

Yes Charlotte the jellies are made from a old family recipe, (at least a year old) 1pint of Vodka to 2 rowntree jellies, then made into little hearts, please help your self

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 23:20:43

Great idea!
But are you sure they can't trace it to us?

AlieOxon Tue 31-Dec-13 23:20:59

Have the Red Hot Chili Pipers arrived yet? We could get a warmup.
Actually I'm tempted to start that barbecue right here to warm this room up!

Not bothered about Roger Moore, how about Patrick Stuart....

CharlotteGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 31-Dec-13 23:22:02

Thanks newist grin

It's just an HQ thing on Chat, Galen, but these two are rolling around on my lap at the moment so I thought they'd better come to the party.

AlieOxon Tue 31-Dec-13 23:24:54

Somebody just fell down those stairs and in the door! I knew there was someone up there....

Who are you? come to join us?

glammanana Tue 31-Dec-13 23:25:26

I hope it's not that Policeman I crashed into after the last party I went to,he did warn me next time he saw me there was every chance I would not be going straight home but via the Bridwell tchhmm Give him loads of wine biker and he may sleep through till morning with a bit of luck.

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 23:25:49

They're very welcome [tchmile] , as long as they keep those dratted corgis awaytchsmile

newist Tue 31-Dec-13 23:26:31

Watch out there's a Stag about who doesn't know the rutting season is over!!

LizG Tue 31-Dec-13 23:27:20

Aaaatiiishoooo! Bless me! (picture the scene as I roll out of the door mid sneeze) It was a long trip and the time machine is rusty. What has The Doctor been doing with it? The sonic screwdriver has gone missing.

Seem to have picked up a cold from my granddaughter so won't be staying long. Just want to wish you lovely peeps a very Happy party. Please could someone lead me to the hooch? For medicinal purposes only of course. Have a super time wine wine wine

AlieOxon Tue 31-Dec-13 23:27:38

Looks like a Freezing Cold Chili Piper to me. Where's the rest of them?

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 23:28:23

I thought Andie was at Sandringham?

CharlotteGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 31-Dec-13 23:28:29

Don't worry, Galen, they want to play chase with the corgis.

whenim64 Tue 31-Dec-13 23:28:41

Punch, anyone????? Great recipe, two bottles of Gordons gin diluted with a bottle of white rum and a cupful of orange juice! One of your five a day! Help yourselves! grin

AlieOxon Tue 31-Dec-13 23:30:06

Oh, no, It's LizG - hi there, get some of this in you, best thing for colds.

newist Tue 31-Dec-13 23:31:15

I am so glad you diluted it When I don't like strong drink it make me go funny
