Oh, how lovely. Spartan, but lovely.

Nice one Spiro - thanks for doing the honours!

Did somebody leave a trail of catfood, so that Uzi can find our new home? Cat-hater as I am, I suppose I'd better try and be nice to him... here, kitty kitty.

(after all, it's before noon!)

PassTheTwiglets · 16/04/2011 10:42

Maud, nice to see that you wrested the curtains from Small. You can't trust her with them....

PassTheTwiglets · 16/04/2011 10:46

Tee hee, there is a thread on Baby Names, asking what name goes with Lucas? I'm so tempted to suggest Porter, even though I have a hatred of surnames-as-first-names :)

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 16/04/2011 11:52

I hate surnames-as-first-names and place-names-as-first-names ::no half measures emoticon:: but would be willing to suggest Thornton and Milton.

DumSpiroSpero · 16/04/2011 11:53

Or you could just go for John?

Afternoon all. I see the curtains were pinched before I could carefully remove them. Frankly I'm shocked at the suggestion that I would have done anything other than deliver them straight to the new premises after sleeping in them.

Well it's quite hard to find suitable imagery for this facility, but I think this one may need to hang over the entrance?

TheSmallPrint · 16/04/2011 13:17

But remember, never bet too much or you may lose the shirt off your back.

TheSmallPrint · 16/04/2011 13:22

Ha ha look what I just found I got 10/10 surprisingly.

DumSpiroSpero · 16/04/2011 14:25

Yep - me too Grin!

Hello ladies! Nice. Can I play too?
Will there be strip poker, later?

I have a horrible big slice of RL to attend to, but like Arnie, I'll be back.

TheSmallPrint · 16/04/2011 14:34

Hey Spiro, having a good day?

I just watched that royal wedding clip from last night t'was very funny! I think Camilla lookilikey really looked like her and Harry's. Grin

I have been Spooking again this morning while doing the cleaning and ironing and Mr Small has been rolling his eyes because I dared to watch the thing he bought me I'm now up to 8.3 and counting. We had Clardiges this morning .

TheSmallPrint · 16/04/2011 14:35

Hi Massive, I have a kids party to attend very shortly also.

Twigs, wherever you are, I love you! Tonight I shall have Damerel in my ear.

TheSmallPrint · 16/04/2011 14:36

look hard enough and the coincidences are everywhere

SupermassiveLBD · 16/04/2011 14:48

Incredible, Small! You couldn't invent it if you tried!

PassTheTwiglets · 16/04/2011 15:12

Glad you got damerel ok small. Rest to follow later. Am at hairdressers, trying not to fall off chair with dizziness, yuk. But have Damerel in my ear as we speak. God i love my new phone! :) think may have missed post for Conv.Marriage though, as highlights are taking ages. Will check out recent links when on PC.

DumSpiroSpero · 16/04/2011 17:08

Oh, Damerel - scrummy! Have had to listen to 'kittens' scene many a time since finishing the whole thing.

Hope you're not suffering too much Twigs. I'm having mine done next week - complete with purple streaks. I mentioned it to my mum yesterday - she is not amused Grin!

Can't say as it's been a great day. Have been.counting the minutes til 7.30 since about 11am.

PassTheTwiglets · 16/04/2011 17:34

Oh, Spiro, are you ok? :( Just general urghness or something else?

I am very Envy of your purple! I was this close to having my purple put back today but I didn't (just for cost reasons - it fades so quickly that it's pricey to upkeep). I jsut had my shockingly awful 3 inch blond roots done. What sort of purple are you having? FWIW, my mum was extremely Hmm about the idea of my purple but she grew to like it and now says I should have it put back.

The kittens scene is lovely but it's the "well, fair trespasser, you're justly served, aren't you?" bit that makes me quiver to my very (now-blond) roots. Man, oh man, that works...

DumSpiroSpero · 16/04/2011 18:46

Bit of both Twigs - although of course it's not me it's the others Smile!

Hair is an aubergine purple on the sample chart but am hoping it will come out slightly brighter. Am not too worried about the upkeep as will probably just let it fade out and have it taken back to all blonde next time I have it done anyway.

Hi, found you - just bookmarking unless there is anyone around!

SupermassiveLBD · 16/04/2011 19:54

Evening, all. Deal me in Grin

LadyVenetia · 16/04/2011 20:10

Evening Massive - I'll raise you this

SupermassiveLBD · 16/04/2011 20:14

Golly, Lady Venetia, the Ace of Scrumptiousness! Wait till the Porter People see that!

LadyVenetia · 16/04/2011 20:16

Literally gasping for air after that pic and this and after :wibble: this

I may be hyperventilating...

DumSpiroSpero · 16/04/2011 20:24

I thought the same Lady V - thighs and chesticles a go go!
However, for those that like a tempting expanse of bare neck/throat there is always this

Hyperventilation guaranteed Grin!
