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

Could someone please send up a flare? I appear to be lost....

Galen I will help you out with that corgi - they don't like broomsticks - almost there, the hag nav took me the wrong way!

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 21:57:00

You need your passport to fly to Scotland these daystchhmm

Enviousamerican Tue 31-Dec-13 21:53:49

thanks Glammanana! I will bring my passport just in case I have to find my way home! grin

Charleygirl Tue 31-Dec-13 21:49:29

I may be a tad late as there are rockets going off around me and I do not want to ring the fire brigade if my broomstick goes on fire. I am like Nelliemoser dress wise.

MK is not far from London so no problem. My broomstick is not the ordinary type. I paid a bit extra and have a lovely sofa behind my comfortable armchair with covering in case of inclement weather. Directions are not my forte but I am sure we will manage. So MK, then near Oxford to pick up Alie and then you withany. 30 minutes be okay? No alcohol for me if you do not mind, I do not drink and drive. I have insurance for passengers.

AlieOxon Tue 31-Dec-13 21:49:28

Gooooooose!

whenim64 Tue 31-Dec-13 21:48:01

Yoooohoooooo! glamma I'm here when you're ready! Have you got room for a tray of sausage rolls? They've just come out of the oven, but no-one will eat them if I don't bring them along.

glammanana Tue 31-Dec-13 21:38:47

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 21:36:38

BlueBelle Tue 31-Dec-13 20:51:28

...my antennae are twitching with anticipation long gloves on, fur collar up, no lifts, so outside bending my knees and holding my arms in flying position, the three glasses of Stones ginger wine should help take off and also my cold oh-er feel the tingling in my toes, taking off -see you soon

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 20:47:23

Right 5 4 3 2 1

Nelliemoser Tue 31-Dec-13 20:31:35

I am just tuning up my pipes ready for the ceilidh. Do we have a caller?

Nelliemoser Tue 31-Dec-13 20:28:16

Galen will be in one of her cruise wear ball gowns! wink To my utter shame I am still in my baggy "wear them only about" the house jogging bottoms, but the magic of "The kings new clothes" will apply and I will be seen as being in a full Queen Victoria style tartan dress.

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 20:26:19

Silver lame sheath to accentuate my (virtually ) figure with of course ----pearls
