Put some christmas decorations up new in box two of them for £4 for both. No one is interested put a similar decoration up for free I was undated with messages.

OP posts:
ArblemarchTFruitbat · 11/12/2021 09:44

OP - are the decorations still available?

Bodoni · 11/12/2021 09:46

I had a squirrel in my loft but the man took it away in an Edinburgh Woollen Mill carrier bag. I don’t think it could fly but it was very noisy and it shat (?shitted) a lot. It had rearranged my insulation to make a cosy pied-a-terre.

FatOaf · 11/12/2021 10:08

I wonder whether OP is still undated.

Fendidntdrake · 11/12/2021 10:16

I did but it was £3 and someone I knew.

CopperApricot · 11/12/2021 10:24

I think we need a diagram

vodkaredbullgirl · 11/12/2021 11:26

This post went nuts Grin

Ducksurprise · 11/12/2021 11:27

A diagram! Yes agreed.

Bodoni Edinburgh Wollen Mill you say... the plot thickens. Did you notice any monkeys, flying or otherwise?

Lysian I think basterdising gift tags is the logical solution, but how to appraise each item?

With the exception of the opening post, the rest of you attention seeking posters all seem to be competing to write the “wittiest” post.
I’ll let you know when I laugh! 🙄

@Yuledo

You lot are as mad as a box of frogs.

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

Now I am surprised to have proof, but it now seems evident that monkeys and squirrels do not get on with frogs.

I don't think they can read.

They can, they just don't like us to know they can Wink

Don't bother. Nobody cares what you think.
Yuledo · 11/12/2021 13:12

I had pasta for lunch because it was in the cupboard and I don't have money for a takeaway.

Viviennemary · 11/12/2021 15:02

Whilst agree the OP was the funny post and the rest are a little toe curling…

I don’t see the purpose of mumsnet threads to be my personal comedian!

BruceAndNosh · 11/12/2021 15:09

We don't have monkeys in our garden.
But we DO have parakeets, dozens of them, noisy screechy little buggers

@butterpuffed

That was meant to be *@HeartvsBrain* !
@butterpuffed, I have to agree with you, one tries one's best, but sometimes - no matter how hard one tries - it is just not good enough (shrugs shoulders).

However, I did feel that @Letsallscreamatthesistene 's wtf was rather too long, could she not have managed to make it a bit shorter? But on the other hand, may I suggest that in future what the fuck would have much more impact, than just wtf?

@Ducksurprise I absolutely and totally agree with you, as my fear of the back button is immense 😱

HeartvsBrain · 12/12/2021 02:53

[quote Lysianthus]**@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.[/quote]
@Lysianthus Thank you. I was slightly worried that I had not explained myself well and that I hadn't written enough, but your post has helped massively in reassuring me.

In answer to your questions, I can only say:
Yes, or yes, and definitely yes - that would be a most sensible precaution. But may I add that I do think that bastardising some gift tags sounds like a brilliant idea. Please, have some flowers 💐
