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

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 ? ?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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??

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

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

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

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 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)

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

Yes, it was Madame PomPom’s for me.

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 00:12:57

How about this for Bjorn?

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 00:12:21

Oooh, l like yours Doodle.

maddyone Thu 30-Dec-21 00:11:42

I’ve already got my Aladdin fancy dress. Be quick girls, Madame PomPom’s is very busy, you don’t want her to run out of fancy dresses.

Doodle Thu 30-Dec-21 00:09:22

Grannmarie a drop of our speciality poteen will be all the libation you need. ?
Ooh lemon don’t you dare steal that dress Madame Pom Pom has made for me. ?

Grannmarie Wed 29-Dec-21 23:26:28

Thank you Brook, I've just popped in to get my bearings before I come on Hogmanay.
Thanks very much Doodle for your kind invitation in Soop's Kitchen. It looks like you had a very lively Christmas, I'd better start training! ?
Although I have been known to enjoy Karaoke, after a small libation..or three.. don't raise your hopes that I can actually sing ?
I taught Infants for many years, if they got restless I used to warn them,
' Be good or I will sing to you!'
God love them, they just laughed, they endured my attempts!
Looking forward to popping in soon!

brook2704 Wed 29-Dec-21 21:53:31

Yep I’ll pop along tomorrow too lemon
I wonder if Bjorn is getting his old Abba outfits out ..

lemongrove Wed 29-Dec-21 21:43:01

Pace yourselves gals! Nearly time for the New Year bash here in the Argy.I have put on half a stone so need a visit to Madame Pom Pom’s for a super outfit, see you there too?

brook2704 Wed 29-Dec-21 21:36:55

Oooh almost forgot - I’ll get the karaoke playlist ready for you grannmarie

brook2704 Wed 29-Dec-21 21:33:04

Great idea Doodle sounds like it’ll be a good night
I’ll get my mop and bucket out and make sure we’re all spruced up ready for our NYE party. The llamas will have to be moved into the barn and bribed to behave. I’ll get the party lights up and order some big bangers and sparklers for our firework display.
Best get some glasses for the poteen if we’ve VIP ladylike guests - no swigging out of the bottle as usual
I’ll put an order in for some posh canapés too ..

Doodle Wed 29-Dec-21 19:32:21

I thought we might dedicate our New Years Eve party to Soop in wishing her good luck in getting her operation soon.

We need Soop well so she can help with the cooking again.
I want to build a new rock garden out back and we need some of her delicious scones for the foundations. ?

Doodle Wed 29-Dec-21 19:17:46

Ok everyone I think we need a rest after Christmas and the party at Lemongrove Manor. Have a break but I expect to see you all back here on New Year’s Eve for our New Year’s party bash with our pantomime Aladdin, karaoke, fancy dress party.
See you then ?
