@NeedToKnow101 you want everyth8ng?!?

Honeyroar · 21/12/2020 21:15

She came in in a frock earlier, didn’t she? Or did I imagine that?

And hope the whipper snappers makes it. Probably waiting until we’re all passed so they can sneak in and clean up (hoovering all the points!!)

Evening! 🎶🎅🎊

The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long

On the subject of mint matchmakers.. I've just demolished a whole chocolate orange, I think they're definitely smaller than they used to be

You know, I am the last person to cast aspersions. And I would never, never gossip.
But I have my suspicions that H from steps is more than just an innocent lodger in her home....

Do you think she keeps him in that hole under her floor boards Trophy? Grin

Honeyroar · 21/12/2020 21:17

Must be The Power of Love, I expect.

Have chocolate oranges got smaller? Most things have. Except me!

FlouncingBabooshka · 21/12/2020 21:17

Apologies for the late arrival. Traffic out of T4 was awful due to the blockade.

Had a quite skim - I think Karma Police by Radiohead is still outstanding from Elfshelf’s opening post.

FlouncingBabooshka · 21/12/2020 21:17

Apparently gin and tonic After Eights are a thing now.

Honeyroar · 21/12/2020 21:18

Did you smash through the blockade à la Dukes of Hazard?

Honeyroar · 21/12/2020 21:19

I bought some of those after eights for my dad. Shall I just scoff them for research for us? Not sure I fancy the idea of them personally. But, for the team...

Yes. I think she's enslaved him
midgebabe · 21/12/2020 21:20

Are you allowed to see your dad to give them to him anyway?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/12/2020 21:21

It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run

Well he lives next door Midge, so I could always just lob them through his window, but perhaps I’d better just eat them to comply with regulations?

And leave the empty packets behind? Or is that just my family?
Honeyroar · 21/12/2020 21:23
