As usual, there will be a grand Christmas Ball , and the invitations have already been sent out to you all, on very expensive hand crafted cards with scalloped 22carat gold edging.To be held a few days before Christmas and the venue is Lemongrove Manor (in England, somewhere in the back of beyond).To those of you who have never attended before,
Say what you will be bringing and a line or two of chat ( or a much as you want to) although it’s alphabetical in nature (although we usually get very mixed up) this thread is a cross between a game and general chat.Dress beautifully please?

Pants who are you kidding. Raunchy posts making your hair curl. You’ve probably got a stiffgit in hair management ?

Sorry lemon I digress. Thanks AGA for including the llamas. We wouldn’t want them left out. I am making them furry antlers so we can pretend they are reindeer.

Mistletoe - for those who need an excuse.

More footmen. There should be enough to share around, I love a man with a pair of finely shaped calves in silken hose.

Nutella....for those guests who prefer a lighter brekkie ( we usually have kippers or kedgeree)

Open All Hours- the sign for the bar.

Has this been arranged already? Please open the library for the night so we introverts can slip away to a dark corner with a good book.
Just ask Mrs Cook to pop in with tea and cakes and leave the back door unlocked so we can leave quietly at 10.

lemongrove Thu 26-Nov-20 20:18:26

Party Poppers!?????????
And party poopers ( hiding in the library)?we shall drag you out of there watermeadow to join the Conga Line.

lemongrove Thu 26-Nov-20 20:19:57

Queues?for the loos ( better wear a Tena)?

Doodle Thu 26-Nov-20 22:21:12

Restroom for genteel ladies and a portaloo for the commoners.

Doodle Thu 26-Nov-20 22:22:14

Snow cannon. We must have snow for a proper Christmas Ball.

Pantglas2 Fri 27-Nov-20 07:12:36

Slush - after Doodle’s snow, sure as eggs is eggs, there will be slush!

DanniRae Fri 27-Nov-20 07:30:49

To be honest a nearby bush will do for me if I need the loo - OH! I had better bring a whistle in case I squat and can't get up again!! blush

NanKate Fri 27-Nov-20 07:43:23

Unusually cold weather expected on Party night, so will bring my snow boots, my sleeping bag in case of an overnight stay. Hope you offer a decent breakie Lemongrove all laid out by your staff on the sideboard where we help ourselves. Can hardly wait.

MrsThreadgoode Fri 27-Nov-20 11:24:27

X-Rated outfit on order! - you will all see a different side of me now. shock Well, to be honest, you'll probably see every side of me....... but fear not because I will keep my vest and big pants on grin

lemongrove Fri 27-Nov-20 15:45:57

Yardley bath cubes?must be sweetly scented for the night of the ball....I think the cubes will be fine ( it says best to use by
1967 on them.)

lemongrove Fri 27-Nov-20 15:47:47

Zinnnias.....a big vase of them in the drawing room (arranged by Lord Lemongrove ) his secret hobby.?
