BiddyGrotto

[Robinia]

It seems we're not getting any changes on AB 'til after xmas so I've set up a grotto for us. Sorry it's a bit like a scene from Great Expectations but I've sprayed a few cobwebs silver & blown the dust off me doileys so please come in & sit down.
What do all the biddies/grumps want to find in their wrinkly stockings this year then? Do you like all this festivity or will you be the grumpy gran/grandpa from hell this year?
Please feel free to take a present out of the bran tub as you leave by the way. Contents may be unidentifiable....oops sorry...be varied.

<slips boxes of Tanna lady and packets of surgical stockings into the bran tub>

Argh! I don't check out this site for a couple of days and I go and miss the BiddyParty!!!! If it's not too late for me to come along and drink the dregs from the Babycham and Cherry B bottles, I'll just disappear for 5 mins to change into my best corsets and liberty bodice and then I'll be ready to paaaaaaaaaaaarty!

[netibiza]

netti's wandering up and down the drive looking for Barry sobs no Barry and now no surgical stockings either, life's a beech. Is also very ashamed of her behaviour but she had been at the Sanatogen. Offers Robinia a packet of Vaseline Dry Shampoo left over from the 50's as a peace offering.

[Robinia]

Morning all! Bit parky in here - still no leccy on?

Thanks neti - apology accepted.....er hang on this shampoo smells a bit fusty.....bit familiar....ANT powder!! What have I told you about swapping containers grrrrr!

Dolly welcome, come on in. Have you got any male friends to bring with you? We're a bit short on men in here at the moment & somebody's got to get the Brylcreem gift set & the nose hair clippers.

Now about these electrics - I see Vinny hasn't made much progress here .

[gessoo]

First port of call for the day and I find it completely in the dark................ Someone is snoring loudly in the corner and I've tripped over a couple of cans. What has happened to the giant Father Christmas balloon that hung over the entrance - he's gone all droopy!!!

Happy Birthday Peri.

Robinia, thanks for this thread - it is keeping me going this week!!!!!

[gessoo]

Oh, and yes

HELLO DOLLY!

and welcome to Biddybank

[woofgang]

[Robinia]

Exactly gessoo & woofgang -and thanks!! We just need somewhere to pop into when we take a tea break - can anybody see the brandy btw? This tea needs a livener.

Erm, either of you two any good with electrics?
