Sigmund is available for appointments.

Although I have ::cough:: much reduced my stock of speed-dial photos, there are a few I keep handy because they are so useful in so many situations.

How goes it with the furniture assembly? Do you have a friend who's handy with a screwdriver?

Who is this Mike the Knight of whom you speak?

::would hyperventilate if she had the lung capacity but only manages a slight wheeze::

I just opened Twigs' Mike link but I'm on LordD's iPad and couldn't work out how to get rid of it ::panic emoticon::

Glad you've had a restful day, Vampy. Must go and put dinner on and reclaim the laptop, this new fangled technology drives me bonkers...

ROFL @ the kiddie and mummy knightly versions. I bet some Gizzy fan invented MtK so they could get their littlies to demand a plastic castle set for Crimbo.

And, if you still have the facepalm on speed-dial, this place is falling to bits around my ears, so that friend of yours is welcome to come and do some screwing at Massive Mansions, Maudie.

::Snatches the cough drop from Massive's grasp::

And of course I have it on speed-dial

All this DIY talk reminds me of the Man's quote "I'm quite handy with a screwdriver but is that sexy? I don't think so..."

Erm, yes, very you fool!

Err, that was why I made the gratuitous reference to the screwdriver, Spiro!

::wink::

Don't worry Maud, i'm not going out there.

I did wonder Maud.

Also wondering - how about a Christmas party Friday or Saturday?

Wow!

Another hotel to add to my 'Rooms to Stay In' list.

That is indeed wow, Spiro!

Christmas party would be fab. I must get into my seasonal garb before then.

I'll be up at the in-laws next fri/sat so won't be able to paaarrrty too hard but I may be able to pop in from time to time.

Following weekend I'll be home - we've decided that this weekend, next weekend then 10 days together over Christmas may just be the limit of our family closeness!!

Feeling a bit more refreshed this evening after I passed out on the sofa for 2 hours having picked up the kids!! Have vague memories of being woken up from time to time to spell names of DD's classmates as she was writing her Christmas cards! Putting me to shame - not sure we'll get around to them - that was supposed to be this weekend's plan.

I love a man who's handy with a screw driver me!

::Puts on her pinny, straightens the antimacassars and gets busy with the feather duster::

Evening all. This is a fine time of day to be doing the housework, Maud!

As for partaying, I would like to have it known that I'm free. Any time.

Glad you got some rest Vamps , I'm out Saturday as well. Heading East so better not take the Aston with me.

Well, it had gone very quiet in here so I thought I would tidy the place up after the weekend's debauches which I sadly mercifully missed.

I can bring a few guests too.

Crikey. That single eye is a bit disconcerting.

::Imagines party as her, Massive, Spiro and a bunch of cardboard cut-outs (by which I don't mean the RH supporting cast)::

I always thought the RH supporting cast were more in the scenery-chewing category, Maud.

I think we had this one a way back. Though I thought you wouldn't mind another look.

Ah yes, the patchwork quilt of Mr Thorntons. No further comment necessary.

Is Friday any good for you SNT? I can do either as have house to.myself both nights.

Maud - can I pick your brain on a Brownies front? Is Christmas Fair tomorrow & we're selling hand-made cards. I dug out a load of my unused craft gear & tbh have had a fairly major hand in manufacturing so (although I say it myself) they are not bad at all, but haven't got a clue how much to charge for them. If I was selling them at a normal craft fair would be £1 - £2 each, but I was thinking 60p for A6 and £1 for A5, plus some little ones for 40p - does that sound about right?

::Reaches feebly for oxygen cylinder::

::Puts on sensible Brown Owl hat::

What's the deal on the Brownie fair, Spiro? Are you selling on your behalf or the Brownies'? Is the money staying at Brownies or is it going off to support another cause? I would say £1 for a handmade card is about right - and as you say, compared to craft fair prices it's an absolute bargain - but I'm always amazed at the people who come to a Brownie fundraiser, knowing that the Brownies are doing it to fill the church's charity fund, yet still expect to get a home-baked cake for thruppence ha'penny.

::Don't get me started emoticon::

It's for Guide Dogs for the Blind. I've been making and selling cards for years and a lot of these were made with bits & pieces of kits so even Miss Spiro's are quite professional!

I might start at a blanket £1 each or two for £1.50 and take it from there - what do you think?
