Huberta would love to dance with Geoffrey, who looks like a very dear chap 🦒💖🦛. She’ll also be happy to help with some ‘heft’ if those Llamas start getting frisky (again!)

Well, if Huberta's coming, can I too?
We girls must stick together.

Love, Nellie

Bottoms up! 🍻

Is that fat old guy in the corner wearing a tricorn hat The Admiral perchance? He’s beckoning me over, but I’m shy😉

To be avoided at all costs Oreo. Stick to a good Barney if that’s your preference. Betty might share her Barney.

I am flying in a zookeeper for all these animals, so many might upset the llamas if they’re not controlled.

I love singing carols, so could we please have a piano and a pianist.

I will bring small light up Christmas trees to decorate the table with, and a Christmas pudding with rum sauce.

And someone to wield a shovel as well 💩💩💩💩💩💩

Where’s the nosh, am getting peckish with watching all the fights, does the chef do fish finger sarnies here?

Watch out the Admiral is on the prowl and the llamas are in a mood for biting bottoms. This won't end well.

There are some freshly baked mushroom pasties on the bar. I think they were mushrooms. They were growing in the llamas pen in the yard.

I’ll bring myself 🤣😂🤣🤶x

LemonJam

........ not more diffusers?!!
.

Don't worry, LauraNorderr.
Nellie will bring reinforcements.

I will be bringing the Bucks Fizz for the teatotallers and a wonderful punch laced with gin.
Smoked salmon bagels go well with the above to soak up the alcohol. Can't wait.
I will of course be bringing a secret santa
You will have to wait expentantly for the party to find out what it is.
Kitty.I like the sound of the Baileys squirty cream so may donate some of that too!!.

Ooh you lot are such fun and very generous.
Anyone up for karaoke?

kittylester

Are we having a playlist?

Can I add Fairy Tale of New York?

YES!!! My favourite Christmas song.

Helping with all the setting up and then the clearing up.

This will be my first time at the party - sounds wild! I will bring homemade mince pies - mincemeat made with a Mary Berry recipe and pastry made with butter. I will wear a black sparkly very long sweater (DH says it is a dress) which I bought half price today in Asda and is size 12-14. No wonder it was reduced - it fits me and I am several sizes larger than that. Secret Santa - one of many things recently won in raffles.

YES!!! My favourite Christmas song.

Where’s our chucker out? There he is! Look over there, two troublesome individuals you need to eject knspol who’s wearing a tutu and bovver boots and Kittylester wearing a WW2 flying jacket over a red ballgown, they keep putting Fairytale Of NY on the jukebox……we can’t take it anymore!!

May Hem and Kay Oss are the two hefty girl bouncers. No messing with them and they love Fairy tale of New York.
I've brought ear protectors for those who don't like it.

Sorry Aga didn’t mean any disrespect to the poteen. In fact I’ve missed the odd jug or two. When can we expect it to be brewed to perfection?
Weil I might have know May Hem would turn up again. Best we don’t let the Admiral see her. You know what happened last time those two got together. I’ve just been down Piggstrotter Alley to Madam PomPoms to acquire suitable garments for our Christmas party. I’ve found a lovely gold sequinned dress. Silly Madame P told me it was a boob tube but it fits fine as long as I don’t move.
Who’s behind the bar these days?
CaroleAnne we don’t have any teetotallers in the Argy. The fumes alone would knock them out before they got over the threshold.

I’ll bring a Black Forest trifle.

Black Forest trifle sounds delicious.

Black Forest trifle - chocolate sponge (I made Devils Food cake ), soaked with cherry conserve, and amaretto, or sherry, then topped with defrosted black or tinned cherries. Leave overnight then cover with a layer of pink jelly fluff, then whipped cream, with crushed chocolate flake or grated chocolate of your choice sprinkled over.

Must have lots of roast chestnuts, which have by magic been done just right, with no burnt or raw bits. Then I may bring my most extravagent mince pies with pastry made with butter and orange juice and the mince put in with a dollop of philly cheese mixed with sugar on top and then pastry on top of that. I am quite a pastry queen, so could make some good flaky pastry and serve up hot sausage rolls too
