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! ??

Wishing you a fabulous 0 Birthday Fanny ??????

I might bring out one of my Argy outfits, there is probably some poteen left in the cellar if the Llamas haven’t finished it off….

Oh excellent GrannyGravy!
I look forward to seeing you in that!
Feel free to bring a llama or two, that is, if Doodle doesn’t mind smile

Happy Birthday Fanny and many happy returns of the day. ??

The Loch Ness venue is closer for me to fly up there in my private jet. I always enjoyed planning an outfit for a particular do and I am rummaging in my wardrobe for anything that would pass for fancy dress. ? my suitcase of a variety of tipples in already packed ???????. Harrison Ford will accompany me and we are both looking forward to the event. ??

Happy birthday Fanny!

I will have to search through my extensive wardrobe of special occasion wear in order to decide how best to honour the occasion. And arrange to get my diamonds from the Bank.

My doggy is very happy to deal with crowd control and drugs searching in exchange for appropriate payment in nice meaties. Sausages will suffice at a push.

Happy Birthday to your DD too!

We share our birthday with Paul Cezanne, Dolly Parton ♥️, John Bercow and Michael Crawford.
I’m not sure if they can make it, unfortunately.
Dolly and Michael could do some Songs from The Shows; and Bercow would be brilliant at calling the Bingo…

HAPPY BIG BIRTHDAY FannyC.

As your shindig is in the a Castle I am toying with wearing my Maid Marian outfit, and up each bell sleeve will be tucked a bottle of fine Mead (yuk, but it sounds in keeping with the revelry).
We shall have much merriment and I have organised a Jester who will be arriving by horse shortly.

Congratulations and many happy returns of your birthday. It's my birthday this week too. But I will be 29 years older than you Fanny. smile I'm enjoying lunching with friends and a meal out with the family at the weekend. I'll pop into your celebration. Just off to find a dress befitting the occasion. wine

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?

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.
