Birthday Invitation

oh...drat! just remembered! Im working Sunday...

Will leave the Vodka Jellies in the fridge, neighbour has key just give her the password (%$££""@@@@) and she will let you in...save me a couple for when I get home.

YMCA please. I think I’ve finally got all the actions.......

I believe the Hokey Cokey is to be renamed Brexit Negotiations DanniRae

fancy Rufus Sewell. I wonder if he is the son/grandson of our Rufus wouldn’t that be a happy coincidence?

NanKate; A virtual miracle if you ask me!
As far as I'm aware I left no offspring in Blighty, virtual or otherwise.
Now look! Some guests appear to be jumping the gun and opening a few bottles early judging by the way they are slurring their typing.

Should we order in a few, (or many), breathalysers?
And has Mr. Sewell received his invitation? I don't know where he is; any Grandads coming or have I got you all to myself? Lovely Jubbly!

I am so excited about this party. Can we do the Birdie Song as well as the hokey cokey? I think it shows how 'stylish' a person is if they can do these dances, don't you fellow party goers? (I get a bit confused with the hokey cokey about which leg goes in first and what to shake about but I expect someone will show me!)
Oh, I can't wait - when is it, by the way??

as at your grand old age, we need to be mindful of your blood pressure
Marydoll; Steady on! You're making me feel like a "grand old piano"! Right now the only resemblance are my stocky legs (I'll get in first; NO, I haven't got 4 of them!) and the only tune you will be able to play on me is, maybe, the one-note Samba. but NanKate is our DJ so she will look after me and Ann.
BTW; Have you been reading "You are old Father William" again recently?
Cheers

My new top is fantastic, I only look about 80 in It!!!
I may have to wear trainers as the poor Duchess of Kent did at "That other big party" but all the better to bop/jive/ dance the night away.
I am so excited.
One thing is worrying me though, are we virtually flying to Oz, or, is Rufus virtually flying here?
I ask because I do not like flying and it is a long flight for anyone of advanced years.
It is the rest of you I am concerned for.?

so hopefully Rufus won`t mind a low neckline?
Callgirl; Not in the least! But how low is "low"? My mind boggles!
Normally I require a preliminary private viewing before entertaining a lady, but time is of the essence here so I'll have to trust your decorum and give you the tick of approval.
Anyway, I hope you'll have Plan B ready in case it all comes unstuck.
Ooroo

What a good idea Jane we will have Rufus at the front. We will know you as you will have dancing Ted all up your stockings. What are TED stockings by the way?

Now Maggie you may be a follower of Rufus Sewell but there will be no shenanigans at this party ? we have certain standards to uphold.

Could we possibly do a virtual hokey cokey? It's my favourite ever dance and I don't get to do it any more. I'd have to put my right stick in, my right stick out etc.
Whatever we do I'll be wearing my fetching TED stockings!

Well, Oopsadaisy, you snooze, you lose. I’m working on my accessories now. I’m sure M & S won’t let me down.

NanKate, you’re dicing with death approaching Rufus Sewell. He belongs to another.....

Maybe those of you who have got your hands on the germolene coloured dress could line up for a Beauty Contest. Who shall we have as a judge, I know quite a few of you fancy Rufus Sewell. I wonder if he is the son/grandson of our Rufus wouldn’t that be a happy coincidence?

Marydoll I have laughed and laughed at the vision of you doing the seven veils. Perhaps we should hire a defibrillator in case Rufus comes all over unnecessary at your performance.

My grandparents were in the Music Hall so perhaps I should do a turn such as ‘There is a green eyed yellow idol to the north of Katmandu’. Or would you prefer my snake act with the python ? ?

Do you think we should have a cordoned off VIP area for all the July birthday people? We could have Rufus sitting on a throne, surrounded by all the lovely birthday girls, wearing birthday crowns.
I'm sure we still have some drain cleaner cocktails left in the Argy cellar.
If we pour it into champagnes flutes, they will never know the difference.

maggiemaybe was it you who rugby tackled me on the way to the changing room and stole that lovely Germolene frock out of my hands?

Now what will I do with the matching ruched hat and shoes?

I m a bit late but would love to come too I ve got some ice cold cider in the fridge and a raspberry pavlova just waiting to be eaten
Happy birthday to any July babes and bros ?

I’m so excited! I’ve managed to snap up one of the as-recommended-by-Gransnet germolene pink frontierswoman frocks in the M & S sale! As you can imagine, I had to be up early and wrestle several other grans to get my hands on it. I just can’t wait for Sunday!

I was thinking of wearing this but I’m worried it’s not posh enough

PEAR cider!

I`ll bring a double chocolate gateau, and some ice cold per cider.
I`m thinking of wearing a red dress that I bought a few years ago for my eldest son`s wedding, then on the day had to cover up because the neckline insisted on drooping a little too much. However, in this weather it will be too warm to cover up, so hopefully Rufus won`t mind a low neckline?

It's my birthday soon too--Friday 13th!--so it might be safer if I come to this party instead. Seeing as it's so hot, can I just come in a wet towel? I'll bring some big bags of ice and a couple of bottles to sit in them.

That should read "double the veils", or perhaps triple them, just to be sure.

Wishing all the Birthday Boys and Girls a Very BIG Happy Birthday. I wanted to say that now before the party started as I amy not be legible after

With the numbers growing I think it's only fair that we have some additional Champagne so put me down for that so we won't go short or even worse - run out -

And I can rustle up some GF cup cakes as an addition to the cake supply.

If it still fits I shall be wearing a long green/grey Hobbs silk dress. First worn for a friends wedding and last worn at the St Ledger Ladies Day so it's due an outing.

I do love a party and it sounds as if the company will be outstanding.
