I haven't been given a part but I'm happy to come along to count the money

[mrs_overall]

factor30, you haven't slipped under my radar. Don't for a minute think you are safe in the audience

[lady-janine]

on behalf of the committee not only our grateful thanks but also our willingness to support your kindness in any way.

(psst the envelope will be pushed through your door at the end of the day as usual)

B00 makes cakes? Therwe may be some misunderstanding here

[mrs_overall]

No, no, no. The villagers make the cakes. For some reason Boo was most insistent on manning that stall

[lady-janine]

bit concerned about that stall mrs o. will anyone else even see the cakes let alone get a chance to buy any. however, we must trust in the restraint of the stall manager (and hope she had a good, filling breakfast that day).

[jno]

ah so. You may need to be prepared for the possibility that she turns up for work in a mankini, or some other outfit that scares customers off.

Last try

[mrs_overall]

Factor30 - they are very good. I liked your birthday cake for LIK the other day.

PS - do you get out much?

[tenrec]

I haven't been on here much lately. Too busy training the goats. They can do the Barn Dance, and the Gay Gordons, but having a bit of trouble with the Galloping White Sergeant.

[B00]

I have a problem...

"Home Made Cake Stall - Boo "

Really? Me? Home made? I don't make them! Ever! I eat, yes...but make them?

<gone all queazy>

[mrs_overall]

Tenrec - I had a sneaky peek at them in rehearsal the other day.
What is the name of the dance they do to that old Scottish tune -
The Skye Goat Song?

[tenrec]

mrs_o, the reason for the curtain over the stable door is to stop people looking in. I'm very upset that you feel it was alright to lift the curtain. The goats are very shy and it is taking for ever to get them up to the standard required. BTW they are not Scottish or they would be doing the Highland Fling.

[mrs_overall]

Boo - read my previous reply. The Villagers make the cakes but you insisted on manning the stall.
You were very forceful, indeed a tad threatening to the committee on the issue

[mazie]

I've spent the last week in my Bakery making hundreds of Space Cakes, what's going to happen to them now the villagers have taken over the Baking?
