Well, it's about time.

Now all we need are furnishings and decorations...Wink

Maud, custard almost veers into the category of Food That Wobbles and I don't eat anything that wobbles.

TheSmallPrint · 20/11/2011 21:14

Cream, cream and cream - ice cream at a push. Custard is only acceptable in a trifle.

PassTheTwiglets · 20/11/2011 21:16

I am so thick, I have JUST got the thread title. I think I hadn't read it properly before so I missed the joke of Chateau Gizzy being the name of our commune building. Very clever, Spiro - I love it :o

TransylvanianVampiress · 20/11/2011 21:16

Ooh so you don't do peaches then Twigs?!WinkGrin

PassTheTwiglets · 20/11/2011 21:19

LOL Vampy, I was just about to add 'apart from a pert little peach' :o

DumSpiroSpero · 20/11/2011 21:22

And at that terribly appropriate moment I have just had a message flash up from Twitter - guess who's requested to follow me? Grin Grin Grin

Oh, really!

TransylvanianVampiress · 20/11/2011 21:27

Sorry I forgot to add the wobbly jelly!! I obviously meant peaches and jelly Maud! Promise ::flutters innocent eyelashes::

TheSmallPrint · 20/11/2011 21:36

What was the face palm for? Not the peaches surely?

TransylvanianVampiress · 20/11/2011 21:36

Who who Spiro? Custard from Rhubarb & Custard? Mr Jelly from the Mr Men? The Queen? Me????

TransylvanianVampiress · 20/11/2011 21:38

::whispers so Maud may not hear:: I fear as much Smallio! I've mentioned fruitiness.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 20/11/2011 23:03

::totters back in after Strictly catch-up marathon::

It seems very quiet in here. Perhaps Mr Thornton would like a hot date chocolate?

DumSpiroSpero · 20/11/2011 23:26

Sorry I disappeared and failed to answer my own question (Gizzy himself, if you're wondering!!! Grin)

Went for a quick bath and started reading this (3 years late admittedly) and got out an hour and a half and about a third of the way through!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 20/11/2011 23:28

Is it any good? I must be the only person in the country who hasn't read it.

DumSpiroSpero · 20/11/2011 23:50

It's brilliant so far - a friend at work lent it to me. It's great on it's own account but also useful research for something I'm planning to write so two birds with one stone.

Well, I've fuinished my hot choclate so it's time for me to go to ebd. I found something in the Bibliotheque de Bing earlier and thought you might like it, Spiro.

Good night!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 20/11/2011 23:53

Oh poo. Posted instead of spell-checking.

DumSpiroSpero · 21/11/2011 00:00

That pic's definitely enough to make me do tyop's too Maud!

Sweet dReAms!

::Looks back::

I am a very bad typist. Finding the spellcheck function was a lifesaver.

I thought you'd like the pic. Hope it provides some inspiration.

TheSmallPrint · 21/11/2011 09:36

Good morrow my dear people, lookie what i lots in there for Twigs especially but alittle bit of our man too.

PassTheTwiglets · 21/11/2011 09:59

Love that, Small! There are so many different versions of that song - who did the original?

Ow, ow, ow, OW, OOOOWWWWWW my back hurts.

TheSmallPrint · 21/11/2011 10:25

Um I think it was Maroon 5?

What have you done to your back? Do I need to send an emergency medical team? Or just some hard drugs?

PassTheTwiglets · 21/11/2011 10:36

I have no idea what I've done - it's been aching on and off for months now but just walking home from school this morning it suddenly all went Pete Tong. And you know me, I never say no to the lovely Dr Alec.

TransylvanianVampiress · 21/11/2011 10:50

Thanks Small that has given me some energy - got work in 10 mins and really not in the mood - I actually want to get on with watching some JP ironing! Ah well - hopefully I'll have time this afternoon.

Spiro can't believe you left us hanging there with your exciting follow!! He's as bad as Twitter LN then?

Twigs - sorry about your back - lie down on the chaise longoo and I'll put my whale music on and have a go with your feet if you like? Can do wonders with back pain! Smile

Argh - I'm late!
