Chateau Gizzy - The Commune finally opens at the University of Milton North

[DumSpiroSpero]

Well, it's about time.

Now all we need are furnishings and decorations...

At least you've got a cast iron excuse to treat yourself to some new decs. I have got so many it's ridiculous but can never resist buying more.

Have got a couple of suitcases full in the loft!

Just saw the phrase "good prezzy" which I misread as Good Gizzy out of the corner of my eye!!

::shakes head realises there is no hope for her and heads for the psychiatry hospital:: hope you all come visit!

What do you mean, visit, Vamps? We'll probably all be in the same ward.

Spiro, I let the kids decorate the tree exactly how they want it. Then, when they are asleep, I rearrange it so it is exactly how I want it, in the knowledge that they will never notice :o

Hey, listen! Can you hear that?! It is silence (just got back from dropping the kids off) :o I am going for a little sleepy and then I'm going to get all my Christmas cookbooks out (and have bought the Xmas edition of Good Food) and then I'm going to plan all our Christmas food I will not be interrupted once to sort out an argument, or to wipe someone's bottom, or to get drinks* & snacks or to put Mike The Knight on iPlayer. I may even have an uninterrupted wee at some point.

• except maybe a little something for me :o

hope you all come visit!

You must be joking Vampy they'd never let us back out!

Oh, yes, Twigs. The uninterrupted wee - that has to be the ultimate luxury!

of Twigs' silence.

::pauses from posting to separate 2 of the 3 MiniDs::

I do the same with the tree decorations, they've never noticed yet .

I'm quite at twigs' silence but I'm doing ok on the sofa watching what I want sewing this blasted angel costume while the vampjuniors do cooking with dad in the kitchen.

By the way, any thoughts on this. I'll explain later just want your views.

Not sure what to make of that Vampy. It did make me chuckle but am also slightly bewildered as to how someone's mind went there in the first place.

The actual logo itself I think is pants tbh, so I can't say that someone defacing it makes me particularly irate.

::completely befuddled by the Olympic logo::

I have never been able to undertand why they chose that particular logo. It's as if they went out of their way to have the most muddled, inelegant, meaningless jumble anyone could dream up after a hard night on the town. In fact the rather revolting term 'brain f*rt' comes to mind.

I personally don't like the actual logo much either to be honest. Only realised when someone else pointed it out to me a few weeks ago that it actually says 2012!!

I'll PM you later when have moment on proper pooter about Lisa Simpson and where I first saw this version as prob best off-line!!

::Staggers in::

I snorted with recognition at the idea that the ultimate in maternal luxury was an uninterrupted wee.

And really, Vampy, what do you expect us to say about that corruption of the Olympic logo? There are no words so a gesture will suffice.

Maybe we could market it as a sort of gift experience, Maud, like those packs you see in WH Smiths etc, with spa breaks and helicopter rides.

Ah yes. We could sell thousands.

This voucher entitles the bearer to fifteen minutes in their own bathroom, which will be replete with luxurious loo roll (not just an empty tube rolling around in the middle of the floor), aromatherapy soap and a pristine, fluffy towel which has not been used to clean football boots or wipe up spilt glitter. There will be no banging on the door and no plaintive voices wheedling "Mummmeeee". There may even be time for a glance at Vogue.

It'd be the loo roll that is the clincher.

Hey look! New (old) pics.

Loving the uninterrupted wee gift pack. Please could it include a book or some kind of reading material?

Aw, I LOVE this one.

Thud...

This one's cute too.

I love the fact you were having such a major wibble over that pic that you did ^ instead of [[, Spiro.

That whole album is choc full of goodies.

Well, there was the prospect of five minutes with Vogue, LadyD. Maybe if we had different price points we could also offer a thirty minute version (with more reading material) or an hour's version (with bath, and guarantee of nobody coming in to do a wee on the loo just behind your head).

Hideous pyjama top but lovely smile

Mm, the orange background ones are my favourites. 101 new photos though - that's a good day in RAMadsville.

Oh, LadyD. Words are totally inadequate. He is just so...

Tee hee. LadyD and I chose the same one.
