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?

Tonight Matthew I will be dressed in the style of your TV audience.
Twinset, pearls and lipstick will be my choice of fancy.

Zebra striped cotton flannel for me too Danni unlike lemon who wears no undies at all ?

DanniRae Tue 08-Dec-20 07:24:55

Yes, good idea about the winter drawers - winter vests too, cosily tucked into the drawers!!
Warmth comes before glamour for me smile

Xtra terrestrial- or did the earth move for you?

Doodle Mon 07-Dec-20 20:27:59

Winter drawers on. Got to keep our nether regions warm in out in the quadrangle.

Very handsome male guests ( please!!)

ixion Mon 07-Dec-20 17:23:16

Ubiquitous dumb waiters?

AGAA4 Mon 07-Dec-20 16:35:02

Teeth - don't forget to bring them. Lemon isn't impressed by gumminess.

Parsley3 Mon 07-Dec-20 10:07:07

Sticky tape, for DanniRae and those satin sheets.

DanniRae Mon 07-Dec-20 07:37:29

Sorry but I don't fancy white satin sheets because they are too slippy. Can I have winceyette instead - it's what I am used to.
I can bring my own if this is a problem?

lemongrove Sun 06-Dec-20 21:56:51

Roses in vases everywhere.....white ones to match the satin sheets.

lemongrove Sun 06-Dec-20 21:55:16

Queer goings ons in the quadrangle ( yes! We have one, as Lord L likes to be reminded of his alma mater.)?

lemongrove Sun 06-Dec-20 21:53:48

Perfect! I love knights in white satin ( sheets) ?

Pantglas2 Sun 06-Dec-20 20:38:08

And Origami, Doodle ? do you remember?

Doodle Sun 06-Dec-20 20:25:34

Sorry I was going backwards then.....er how about Nights in white satin. Another long gone memory for lemon ?

Doodle Sun 06-Dec-20 20:22:38

Like a virgin Woodhouse please. Not sure lemon can remember that far back ?

lemongrove Sun 06-Dec-20 19:13:37

Musk infused perfumes ( just stay away from the deer park)

lemongrove Sun 06-Dec-20 19:12:28

Less noise? ?

WOODMOUSE49 Sat 05-Dec-20 23:52:02

Keyboard. Any requests?

Doodle Sat 05-Dec-20 23:32:15
