Allira

I have to go and do some rapping.

See you all later!

rapping?
Will I find you on TikTok? ๐Ÿคž

Maybe Orlin will be kept occupied by the spectacular fgt2 so won't spot what you are up to, Laura.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sat 13-Dec-25 15:53:54

Be fun if lemongrove pops in wouldnโ€™t it? ๐Ÿ‘‹

Allira Sat 13-Dec-25 15:48:21

Sorry, I meant wrapping

Donโ€™t forget the talcum powder FGT. A night in those trousersโ€ฆ say no more.

Well I was bringing Orlin until I saw Rosie offering, now Iโ€™m not too sure.
Seeing as the llamas have made an appearance I guess the venue has to be the ArgyBargy. At least the straw on the floor will take care of their less than civilised behaviour.

On second thoughts, seeing Maww's offering, he can stay at home ....

Allira Sat 13-Dec-25 15:43:22

The Admiral. oh no, trust you Allira. As he is a fixture at the Argy do we have any choice

I'll sit him in a corner with a bottle of Pussers' Rum and a pile of sausage rolls.
That'll keep him quiet (for a bit).

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sat 13-Dec-25 15:42:30

What did Orlin get up to last year then? I must have left early.

Can I bring the Admiral?
He's snoring away in his chair at the moment.

I'm having a go at making Stollen, so will bring that.
Along with Stille Nacht for the playlist. It sounds so much better in German!

Oh no, I was going to bring Stollen!
The alternative was Tesco Finest Mince Pies but we just had visitors and ate them all ๐Ÿ˜€

I'll bring a small platter of mixed cheeses and olives.
A Chocolate Yule log (I've commissioned Mary Berry to make it for me)
Along with Prosecco
Some fluffy socks with reindeer on the sides.

Last Christmas by Wham
Can we watch the film afterwards? It's so schmaltzy!

ixion Sat 13-Dec-25 15:34:00

Ooh, Are you bringing Orlin, LauraNorder?

Has he had to promise to behave himself this year?
I do hope not

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sat 13-Dec-25 15:28:22

Cor Maw! Thatโ€™ll be me then asking for regular top ups โ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜

Wyllow3 Sat 13-Dec-25 15:25:05

I'll whisk this cheerful group of children all the way from Africa to sing and dance

And bring some home made mulled wine.

RosieandherMaw Sat 13-Dec-25 15:23:24

Weโ€™re going to need a butler or waiters.
Shall I bring these along, they (unlike FGT) do seem to be appropriately attired.

BridgetPark Sat 13-Dec-25 15:14:58

I will bring my signature parsnip carrot and swede mash, and will bring the water from the veg, ready to make the gravy. It makes the most tasty gravy you have ever had... not one to boast but I have had many compliments on it.
Also on the playlist I would request Greg Lake dream of Xmas song, brings on such nostalgia. Happy peaceful Christmas to us all...

brook2704 Sat 13-Dec-25 15:14:27

Youโ€™ve really nailed it fgt stunning - not sure itโ€™ll stay like that until morning though ..
Iโ€™ll bring the Llamas laura theyโ€™re ready for a night out and look impressive all dressed in up their finery. I just hope they behave this year ๐Ÿคญ

Scribbles Sat 13-Dec-25 15:13:04

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.

kittylester Sat 13-Dec-25 14:59:05

Do we have a venue? Please can it be inside.

Aveline Sat 13-Dec-25 14:57:20

Can I bring Ant and Dec? They always cheer me up.

Charleygirl5 Sat 13-Dec-25 14:57:03

FGT my parents would never have allowed me to go out "looking like that".

I will bring pigs in blankets, roast beef sandwiches and orange juice.

Probably. My sister in law has little imagination for gifts. I will definitely bring all 3 sets of place mats for a table I no longer possess.

I will come in my night attire, less hassle when I return home.

I would like a room to myself where I could listen to Queen, and you lot can sing carols and play charades.

If I get hungry is there a fish and chip shop nearby?

Grandmabatty Sat 13-Dec-25 14:38:55

Fried green tomatoes, that's not how I imagined you ๐Ÿ˜‚

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sat 13-Dec-25 14:38:38

Just glad I still fit in the leather trousers LauraNorderr!
