I’m holding my potato laura

brook2704 Sun 24-Dec-23 19:29:21

Oooh I’m ready, I’m Lady Bunting of Tittington this evening

LauraNorderr Sun 24-Dec-23 19:27:57

Don’t allow those underdressed Potatoes in jackets to enter, common as muck, eyes everywhere.

LauraNorderr Sun 24-Dec-23 19:25:00

I am being escorted by my French brother in law the Dauphin Oise. The House of Potato must be represented at this time of year or the family will get a roasting.

ixion Sun 24-Dec-23 19:17:29

I'm being escorted by the Master of the Rolls, Lord Cunardly.
Rolls down hill and cunardly get up again.

Actually I think I meant Lord Gelignite not his rather wobbly cousins Gelatine.
Lord of the Rings. You after that chap who runs the hoop la stall at the fairground again Laura. I’d have thought you’d learnt your lesson after he got you hooked last time.

Got lumbered with Jack last year. Looking for the Lord of the Rings. Want to get engaged again.

Doodle Sun 24-Dec-23 18:44:35

May Hem has got herself attached to Lord Limpet. And Dyna has met her match with Lord Gelatine. 💥

Doodle Sun 24-Dec-23 18:42:43

You can have Lord Lucan if you can find him. And Lord Lumberjack. He’s the tall guy in the corner who keeps shouting “Timber” every time he downs a pint. Or there’s Lord Sprout of Brussels, but I wouldn’t if I were you 🤢

LauraNorderr Sun 24-Dec-23 18:32:02

Do feel free to share the other nine lords Doodle.
Llama poo on the red carpet indeed, how very dare you

LauraNorderr Sun 24-Dec-23 18:28:29

I like your style Lady Tania Hide.
I seem to be smashed already.

Doodle Sun 24-Dec-23 18:22:58

I will come as Lady Legless (which is what I’ll be after two pints of poteen) and will be accompanied by Lord Longjumper one of the the most senior of the 10 Lords a Leaping.
We will arrive in his gold plated coach with outriders and footmen.
Please make sure the best seats at the bar are reserved for us an no llama poo on the red carpet please.

AGAA4 Sun 24-Dec-23 17:53:35

I will come as Lady Tania Hide. I will arrange a whip round for everyone.

LauraNorderr Sun 24-Dec-23 15:43:41

Chocolate fountain, yey, great idea.
If George Clooney falls in this year you can clean him up. I have my eye on Ryan Gosling, silly goose that I am.
Tonight’s theme will be Lords and Ladies in honour of the Lemons who seem to have embarked on yet another Christmas cruise.
I shall come as the Duchess Potato.
I will arrive in the Dreyman’s cart decorated with the Argy insignia, two llamas depicted on a bouncy castle downing poteen.

brook2704 Sun 24-Dec-23 13:46:02

Will do Laura good idea
What’s on tonight at the Argy? If I can get them settled down early I’ll come along
Any chance we can get the chocolate fountain on the go again ?

LauraNorderr Sun 24-Dec-23 13:31:57

You know they love you Brook. Just keep singing to them
🎶 Allellama, Allellama🎶
Keeps them calm.

brook2704 Sun 24-Dec-23 12:52:16

Aww Laura they wouldn’t do that to me … would they?

brook2704 Sun 24-Dec-23 12:51:10

Awww AGA you noticed!
So kind of you, yes I try to make Christmas special for my little llamas, as you know they mean the world to me ❤️❤️
But I might be slightly mad .. I don’t really know

LauraNorderr Sun 24-Dec-23 12:47:46

Have the llamas actually demanded that you sit at the top of their tree in that very skimpy costume. Do come down, it looks very painful. Gosh there’s more material in that headband than the whole outfit.

AGAA4 Sun 24-Dec-23 12:39:17

brook I have noticed the llamas have their own Christmas tree complete with chocolate novelties, a nativity scene with knitted llamas, and a full buffet with all their favourite foods. You have been busy!

brook2704 Sun 24-Dec-23 11:56:04

So sorry everyone I’ve been rather distracted these last few days, you know what it’s like when you’ve llamas to look after, they can be so demanding 🤦‍♀️

ixion Sat 23-Dec-23 22:45:02

And to think you said, Doodle, that you had seen everything....🤔

Doodle Sat 23-Dec-23 22:26:39

Good grief Laura, Ixion’s not doing that in the kitchen with the sprouts is she 😱

LauraNorderr Sat 23-Dec-23 22:24:20

Someone fetch a tarpaulin. Obviously lots of unprotected sacks in this cellar

ixion Sat 23-Dec-23 21:58:01

LauraNorderr

The ten remaining sprouts now contain some very unusual finger nails, it seems ixion is now in the kitchen also channeling her inner Fanny.

Looking for my Johnny, actually, LauraN.
