Hello All,
Have been waiting for Doodle to open the old Argy up for the festive period, but she has gone to New York ( or possibly York) to do her Christmas shopping.She will be here anytime though, so until then, the doors are open, come in and ‘take the weight off’ and order one of our speciality cocktails or maybe a mulled poteen, and tell us what you’ve been up to.
Sitting on Santa’s knee? Ordering new killer heels?tchsmile

Oooh, l like yours Doodle.

Doodle Thu 30-Dec-21 00:12:23

brook can’t wait to see your festive decorations. I must admit I’d not thought of sausages before but now you mention it, strings of big bangers across the room sound like fantastic fun. Instead of bobbing for apples we can have jumping for bangers. Our new party game ?

maddyone Thu 30-Dec-21 00:12:57

How about this for Bjorn?

Doodle Thu 30-Dec-21 00:13:46

Oh maddy thank you. Have you been to Madame Pom Poms for yours. I thought actually lemon might go to Sexy Sadies, more her style (or lack of if you get my drift) ?

maddyone Thu 30-Dec-21 00:14:50

Yes, it was Madame PomPom’s for me.

Doodle Thu 30-Dec-21 00:15:24

Oh my word ?. I’ve come over all unnecessary.blush that is some outfit for Bjorn. He’ll love it (and so will I)

AGAA4 Thu 30-Dec-21 07:34:21

I will make sure Bjorn is in his outfit for the party on
NYE. He won't spoil it as he only wears a leather thong for brewing.
I am off to Madam Pom Pom's for some frilly bloomers for the party. I may wear something else as well.

Doodle Thu 30-Dec-21 09:41:40

Hmm I think I must come and watch you brewing sometime soon AGA ?

brook2704 Thu 30-Dec-21 15:02:56

That’s my outfit all sorted now
Nothing too outrageous as we’re expecting some rather posh guests but quite subtle for me really .. maybe I can do the meet and greet at the door along with Thor? He’s promised to behave this time

ixion Thu 30-Dec-21 15:21:04

It's no good...
Is there anyone out there who doesn't have a Christmas I-have-eaten-to-excess tum who can wear this for me??

Doodle Thu 30-Dec-21 15:59:18

It’s gorgeous ixion but not for me sorry. Too many Xmas puddings ?

muse Thu 30-Dec-21 16:00:11

ixion - I wish ! Finally popped into Madame Pom Pom's but all there was to fit me, was this ?.

I hear haggis pasties are needed. Just happened to still have the recipe that was used to make the ones for soop's 80th birthday. I'll get the Muse Mess Hut catering team in action. Chef was last seen swotting up on how to catch the little deils.

AGAA4 Thu 30-Dec-21 16:36:25

Lovely outfit muse. You could try Sexy Sadie's if you want something a bit erm...less.
Thor is useless today as Sven is here for the New Year bash. I've sent them off to check on the llamas.
Alarma is getting into her genie outfit and making a fuss. She wanted it in a different colour. Sven is very good with her and is calming her down.

AGAA4 Thu 30-Dec-21 16:40:21

Happy birthday muse. ?? You can have extra poteen tonight.

LauraNorderr Thu 30-Dec-21 18:47:49

Oo just in time to join in the toast.
???Many happy returns muse ???

Doodle Thu 30-Dec-21 20:37:33

Muse I’m sure that outfit will be good for our pantomime. There must be a character we could write in ?
Brilliant I knew we could rely on you for the pasties. We want to make it a special night to cheer Soop up.
Well I’m glad Sven has his uses. I hope Gnasher doesn’t get jealous.
Cheery Muse many happy returns. Any cake left ? ?

brook2704 Thu 30-Dec-21 22:15:12

Oh muse what a birthday bash that was
Many happy returns of the day! ?❤️???

maddyone Thu 30-Dec-21 22:47:34

That’s a lovely outfit for the errr pantomime muse. Anyway, you’ll be busy with the haggis pasties I think, and you’ll probably get hot and take a few bits off. Or you could try Sexy Sadie’s.
I think I’ll give a hand with the poteen making since AGA trained me, and I think I need to master watching Bjorn in his thong the haggis poteen recipe.

maddyone Thu 30-Dec-21 22:49:10

icion I can’t help you out I’m afraid, I’ve eaten far too many mince pies and Christmas cake. Maybe lemon could help you out.

Doodle Thu 30-Dec-21 23:06:42

Cough splutter ??? Lemon in that slinky outfit. Well I suppose she might fit in the veil ?

brook2704 Thu 30-Dec-21 23:12:16

There we go - all set up ready for tomorrow

Happyme Fri 31-Dec-21 00:30:40

Hoping to sneak out to join the NYE party , having to sew my own outfit from some cast offs I found. Have purloined grin a few bits of bling to add a bit of bejazzle.

AGAA4 Fri 31-Dec-21 07:21:30

Happyme good to see you. Like the boots.
brookyou've made the Argy look amazing. I have never seen it look so clean. The 20 bottles of bleach helped. We need to keep the llamas out and the Admiral.

Bjorn is very impressed with my new shocking pink bloomers. He wants to use them as a tent for him and whichever lady he chooses for tonight.

brook2704 Fri 31-Dec-21 08:16:34

I’m in early to polish the lavs and check we’re all ready for later
The poteen fountain is ready to flow - the box actually said chocolate fountain but I thought what the heck it’s the argy after all
Need a bit of help making the canapés to go with muses pasties so I’ll get May and Dyna onto it later

brook2704 Fri 31-Dec-21 08:18:58

Oh and I promised to give you all a sneak preview of my outfit - I know it’s a bit subtle for me but I just wanted to blend in…
