But Lavender do they shit on washing?

YourenutsmiLord · 11/12/2021 07:55

Don't people sell stuff on - hence freebies snapped up

hotmeatymilk · 11/12/2021 08:03

Leaving aside monkeys, squirrels, shit on washing, etc, can @Friendswithyoutotheend please return to clarify:

Is it two decorations in a box for £4? Or single decorations, each in a box, and you can buy both boxes for £4?

ButLavenderdo they shit on washing?

Only if it's left out overnight. Same as spiders.

We’ve got a colony of bees living in our bird box.

NutCheeseBag · 11/12/2021 08:16

Not my circus, not my monkeys. Maybe my squirrels, sorry.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 11/12/2021 08:16

I also have a Christmas squirrel bauble, but I'm not selling that.

DroopyClematis · 11/12/2021 08:16

OP, please pm me as I've been wanting a couple of squirrels for a while now.
Can you confirm that they're covered in glitter?

butterpuffed · 11/12/2021 08:25

@Letsallscreamatthesistene your post is too short Shock

This thread is like a weird dream where nothing makes any sense.

OMG, not flying squirrels and monkeys. I wonder if putting Christmas lights near the washing line would scare them off?

FatOaf · 11/12/2021 08:43

At least squirrels and monkeys can’t fly.
I'm sure they can, as long as they have valid passports and obey the quarantine rules.

Oh dear. Someone got the facts-of-life talk a bit mixed up.

DD works with primates

I think most people work with primates.

Ceramide · 11/12/2021 08:47

Well the birds can't pay, as they don't have hands to pass the money to the monkeys.

Get a magpie.

I thought MN didn’t like non Christmassy Christmas decorations?? I can understand how a squirrel decoration might have slipped through but surely a monkey decoration isn’t allowed on an MN Christmas tree.

RobotValkyrie · 11/12/2021 08:52

One of the decorations on our Christmas tree is a squirrel with a Santa's hat. True fact. But I can't confirm the price.

cloudtree · 11/12/2021 08:54

Squirrels are even supposed to be around at Christmas. They’re supposed to be hibernating. Don’t even get me started on the Monkeys.

I think alcohol may have been taken by the majority of posters on this thread

godmum56 · 11/12/2021 09:06

Are the decorations red? If not have you got any red ones?

dickyduckydido · 11/12/2021 09:12

Squirrels don't hibernate - common misconception

LavenderAskew · 11/12/2021 09:15

@Ducksurprise

But Lavender do they shit on washing?
Yes, they will deny it, but they do. Also, it doesn't stink, them being a cut above the rest.
Yuledo · 11/12/2021 09:27

You lot are as mad as a box of frogs.

Do monkeys and squirrels get on well with frogs? #musing

Lysianthus · 11/12/2021 09:35

@HeartvsBrain Excellent contribution. I’m putting up our decorations this morning and now I’m worried in case I have to price them. Do we put stickers on them, or bastardise some gift tags? And can we take cash now because of the C word? @Friendswithyoutotheend it’s all very confusing.
