Just a bit of fun.
I will bring coffee and mini pork pies.
And dress in a inflatable cow outfit.

Sorry about the spelling mistake in title will ask mn to sort it.

I will bring something that is absolutely not a upf as everyone here knows that one bite of such a thing would kill an elephant stone dead and might ruin the vibe of your party OP.

I'll be wearing a bridesmaid dress because everyone seems to love those.

Oh I knew there was one more thing! Lemon drizzle cake!

Only if it's so undercooked that it's basically lemon liquid.

I’ll wear my Big Girl pants, bring a vast quantity of gin and tonic and a small tub of pate

Smittenkitchen · 11/06/2025 18:19

I'd wear something frummmmpy. Wouldn't be difficult to find something as most items of clothing have been branded as such on here at some point or other. I'm sure I can find an appropriate outfit in my wardrobe!
And I'd bring a lunch box stuffed with foods that have been consificated by schools.

If it’s not too late to accept I’ll be the one in the Dry Robe and please note I do not live by the sea or have a sporty child. I’ll make a chilli that rammed with montezeuma 92% dark chocolate. I’m sort of known for it at parties. 😆

eastegg · 15/06/2025 10:02

I’m not bringing anything, as to do so would be an attention seeking, passive aggressive slight against you the host OP, implying that your catering is not good enough.

DancingDangerously · 15/06/2025 10:05

Actually I might dress for fun and wear DH's Dressing Gown of Doom.

@Kleptronic me too! I’d forgotten the Friday drunk thread

Is this in classics?

Davros · 15/06/2025 11:14

I doubt it, maybe @Kleptronicknows

Treesandsheepeverywhere · 15/06/2025 11:24

I'll be in my athleisure as I may or may not be going to the gym after.
Bringing a lasagna in case there's a widowed man there, bless him.

Myfridgeiscool · 15/06/2025 11:53

I’m going to wear a striped Breton top, Boden skirt and fit flops (for my plantar fasciitis, naturally).
Since someone has already kindly offered to bring a chicken I’ll just bring a single lettuce leaf, grapes sliced lengthwise for desert.
Can’t see a mention of a cheese board yet, I’ll pop into Waitrose on the way in the new Range Rover.

DeSoleil · 15/06/2025 12:16

I will be wearing this gown and will provide a tower of Ferrero Rocher.

I need to give my head a wobble because I don’t know what to wear. After getting my ducks in a row I’ll check the toilets in the venue to make sure there are no toilet brushes hanging around, filthy things. I’ll bring a pile of novels for all the avid readers who devour books

PizzaSophiaLoren · 15/06/2025 12:32

MyFavouriteSpoon · 10/06/2025 12:44

I'm bringing a large chicken, so no additional food will be required

And we can all have leftovers for days!

Bumdrops · 15/06/2025 12:34

Oneearringlost · 10/06/2025 13:18

I will bring my loo brush.

I haven't decided what to wear yet; I need to start a thread first.

Ok, but don’t forget to run your loo brush through the dishwasher first ! 😂

Bumdrops · 15/06/2025 12:36

Icedcaramelfrappe · 11/06/2025 17:18

I will wear my mumsnet scarf, it will need a good wash as it's been in the wardrobe for at least 10 years

I'll bring a note from the neighbours moaning about all you CFers blocking their driveways

Edited

paper and pencil required for drawing of the parking please !!

chunkybear · 15/06/2025 12:36

I'll bring my diary and write down all of the dates from your calendar when your Mexican house is empty

PizzaSophiaLoren · 15/06/2025 12:37

I will bring crudités and hummus.
I will wear floaty ditsy print dress, denim jacket and pink gazelles.

Bumdrops · 15/06/2025 12:41

Can we play thread charades ??

Note to self (im gonna do the T-Rex in the aisles, and the shagging in the hedge one) 😂

DancingDangerously · 15/06/2025 12:44

Has anyone brought dishwasher salmon?

ChippySauce · 15/06/2025 14:06

Can I also bring my 6ft 3 handsome DH, and my tall, slim gorgeous DCs too?

I’ll bring my own Tupperware for the leftovers. For my kids, you know.

GranolaDisco · 15/06/2025 15:15

It doesn’t matter what I wear, because only the insecure and shallow care about style and beauty.

I’ll bring some really crap homemade biscuits in a Lakeland cellophane bag, because everyone appreciates a homemade gift 😉

Blingismything · 15/06/2025 16:47

I will be counting calories so not eating and only drinking chilled water. Will wear a denim dress, pearls to clutch and my perfume of the day.

LittleMissyHappyMe · 15/06/2025 18:39

I’ll bring all the All Inclusive watered down 10am cocktails (just enjoyed that tread) cheers!
I’ll wear my bikini but change in to my pjs for an afternoon nap zzzz
