You are Cordially Invited to my Birthday Party!

I am now of sufficient age to officially join Gransnet; I of course await my laminated membership card; car sticker; an copy of the much loved Talk Guidelines

Said party will be held at Tarn Castle, located on the southern shore of Loch Ness; or if not, at The Panther, located just down the road, opposite the hairdressers.
(Both premises are dog friendly, many of you will be glad to hear ?)

Bring Your Own Bottle (the hallmark of a good booze up); squeeze of your choice smile; and, of course Fancy Dress is mandatory!

So, crucially, what will you be wearing and who will you bringing?
(I am not imposing a no-pressie policy btw)

I haven’t quite decided yet…
(Do you remember when you used to talk endlessly with your best mate about what you were going to wear on a night out?)

Please do join me! ??

Fanny Happy Birthday ? ???
How lovely to be invited to your party. I am on my way.
I did want to bring Thor, the barman from the Argy but unfortunately our llama Alarma (little madam) got wind of it and insisted in coming with me.
We are bringing poteen I am wearing tartan. Will be with you as soon as my broomstick has landed.

A very Happy Birthday Fanny. ??‍♀️?

Galaxy Wed 19-Jan-22 20:24:26

Ah Happy Birthday Fanny, I will come, you are very honoured as I am incredibly grumpy/lazy and try to avoid going anywhere grin

Marydoll Wed 19-Jan-22 20:23:05

Happy Birthday, Fanny!

Kalu, may I cadge a lift? The Professor has agreed to accompany me, he has ditched the floosie for a more experienced lady (me). wink

PS, I was once thrown out of the Scottish Country Dancing class in my convent school. I mistakenly thought the dance was called Strip the Widow blush

Apologies all, it's the dog wot I brought snoring away.

Callistemon21 Wed 19-Jan-22 20:16:24

ready and waiting to Strip the Willow

Ooh, I love Strip the Willow, Cherrytree!

That's probably the last time I danced, stripping the willow at the village hall.
That's probably what buggered my knee!

Who's that snoring under the table?

Wishing you a very happy birthday Fanny ? ? ?

Happy Birthday Fanny, love reading your posts. How wonderful to have a birthday party, in these covid times.
I was wondering if I could bring a male person as my plus 1 ?He is suddenly relieved of his diary appointments for the rest of the forseeable, his name is Boris, what do you think?

ElaineI Wed 19-Jan-22 13:12:19

Happy Birthday Fanny! Will drop in when we are on way to Pitlochry ?
Have you made your rules and do you understand them ?

Serendipity22 Wed 19-Jan-22 13:02:30

Happy birthday to you x

dustyangel Wed 19-Jan-22 12:51:24

Happy Birthday Fanny, I’ve been racking my brain trying to work out what this illustrious age can be but I guess it means that you’re over 30 at last. Both Dd1 and her husband have birthdays this week so it’s obviously a very good time of year for good people to be born! If I can’t borrow a very warm coat I’ll send you some sun instead as that garden which looks fabulous might need warming up this time of year. Enjoy your special day. ??

Squiffy Wed 19-Jan-22 12:36:58

Happy Birthday Fanny! Am I allowed to cheat and come to the party, please? I had to go to a family funeral on my real birthday. I don't know who I'd bring, but I can provide some of my legendary Nourishing Soup to restore guests when they are flagging a bit!

Josieann Wed 19-Jan-22 11:51:57

Happy birthday! Seeing as dogs are allowed I might drop in.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 19-Jan-22 11:47:00

Exclusive event…

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 19-Jan-22 11:46:40

I’m afraid my doggy has just said that for policing such an exclusive she wants fillet steak. Don’t worry I’ll nip to the butcher’s on my way.

Parsley3 Wed 19-Jan-22 11:41:38

Happy birthday Fanny. My suitcase is packed with booze and pork pies so I am ready to go. Unfortunately, I haven’t left room for clothes. Will that be a problem?

FannyCornforth Wed 19-Jan-22 11:31:09

BBbevan

I can’t think who to bring !!!

I will give it some thought myself, and I’ll get back to you… ?
