What will you bring to the party?
Something savoury, something sweet, your favourite tipple and a small Secret Santa gift.
Merry Christmas

Can I come if I bring some home made Scottish tablet?

LauraNorderr Sat 13-Dec-25 21:25:38

Anyone arriving in style, the helipad has been cleared in readiness. Sadly it’s several miles from the Argy so bring your comfy shoes and carry the Jimmy Choos.

LauraNorderr Sat 13-Dec-25 21:21:18

That rug will be handy NanKate, this is just night one of a week long party 🎉
I’m sure Aga has knitted some llama wool rugs. Whiffy but warm.

NanKate Sat 13-Dec-25 20:29:56

A LARGE packet of cheese and onion crisps. A thick rug and hot water bottle in case the party goes on a bit. Oh and a bottle of Bacardi, hic hic.

David Ginola, ex footballer and now wine producer. He can just read me the telephone directory while I stare at him!

Hope he brings lots of sample bottles!

As I haven’t worn heels for years, I’ll need a hand, so I’ll have two escorts - Josh Groban who can hold a tune and David Ginola, ex footballer and now wine producer. He can just read me the telephone directory while I stare at him!

Huge Ackman?
Isn't he Australian?

And there's me thinking this was to be a refined bash🤦‍♀️

Hey up!
We have some very refined Aussies on here 😂

Scribbles

I can bring a bottle of Stone's Ginger Wine that someone gave us about 30 years ago. I will dust it first.
For the secret Santa, there's that nasty powerful cheap perfume spray that came free with something or other.
I've made a huge, whisky-soaked dark fruit cake - not yet iced but it'll be delicious just as it is.
For the playlist, 12 Days of Christmas by Frank Kelly.
For FGT a big safety pin so you don't fall out of that top and get cold.
By the way, where is the party taking place? I'll need to book my Uber in good time.

I have a bottle of elderberry wine which the Admiral made about 20 years ago (I can assure you it tastes like Tawny Port!).
I'll bring that with the Christmas pudding, home-made using my mother's recipe, about five years ago.

I think I had an hour there. Must’ve needed it.
Oh kitty looks so sweet - still snoring. Is that drool on the cushion?

Goody lots of dancing now I see. I’ll get up in a minute if I can find my other shoe.

Who’s Grandmabatty dancing with? Crikey - she can’t half shake some moves! I thought she had bad feet? No sign of them tonight dearie. I think she’s copying something from Strictly. Mind those candles . Oh, too late. You alright Grandmabatty? Ah. Just a slight singe there at the hem.

AGAA4 Sat 13-Dec-25 20:01:29

No food but I'm bringing all the male gladiators..
I hope those llamas behave brook.
Is Alarma having her full make up as usual?

JamesandJon33 Sat 13-Dec-25 18:54:30

Not interested in George Clooney. I ‘ll think of someone other. ….like James Crabtree ( model)

Oreo Sat 13-Dec-25 18:52:26

Kittylester if you put Fairytale Of New York on the jukebox one more time I will give you a Glasgow kiss 🤬😄

kittylester Sat 13-Dec-25 18:49:05

What on earth makesh yoooo think........zzzzzz!

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sat 13-Dec-25 18:37:59

I feel a bit tipsy already. I don’t really drink these days and whatever got poured into me glass as gone straight to me ‘ed.
I’d best have a little lie down. Budge up kitty. You got the same problem?

Oreo Sat 13-Dec-25 18:34:20

boheminan

Can I come? I'll bring a decanter of shandy and promise I'll empty the bath salts out of it first

It’ll taste better if you leave the bath salts in 🤪

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sat 13-Dec-25 18:32:23

😂 bohimion sorry I can’t schpel your name without looking it up!

ginny Sat 13-Dec-25 18:24:39

May I join in ?
I’ll bring a Tunis cake as not many people seem to know what it is. Although in our family it is called Tuna cake.
I’ll wear my very first Christmas jumper, a very tasteful one of course.
For drinks I’ll provide Nosecco as my friends tell me I’m bad enough without alcohol!

Oreo Sat 13-Dec-25 18:08:00

LauraNorderr

Ask George to bring Hugh Jackman for me. Only to look at and drool over you understand

Could you bring Matt Damon just for me? Will it be considered too naff for me to wear silver sequin dungarees ? They’re nice and roomy and have two big pockets to keep snaffled vol au vents in.

Oreo Sat 13-Dec-25 18:04:30

LauraNorderr

Fish and chips in your pyjamas Charleygirl. No judging here, but I prefer mine in newspaper.

Boom boom!😂

We’re having booze in a crystal decanter, how much refinement do you want ixion! Anyway some of us like a bit of rough.
There are some refined Aussies. Les Patterson was Australian and he always wore a suit and tie albeit somewhat stained.
