Mumsnet Village Show - An Afternoon Tea Tray for One

[Slubberdegullion]

So here we are again.

So far the rules are:

Tea tray for one

Can include anything you want suitable for a summer high tea (sandwiches, scones, cake, biscuits etc) with suitable cutlery and crockery and the like. (Silver service if you are terribly posh)

Five quid budget (on top of what you already have in your larder).

SlightlyMadScientist is the judge (heaven help us...is she properly qualified???)

Oh and all entries will be anonymous this time (A, B, C etc).

Time limit is 9pm next sunday so we can be judged before bed time.

The rules will obviously be bent or completely ignored but so long as its tea ish then anything goes.

Persoanlly I don't mind so much about anonymity either. Anyway you've all seen shots of my kitchen/garden/table/roof now.

I will have to photograph my tray in the bathroom.

PMSL SMS, I love the accent on the word TO.

Slubber - I have been wanting one of those for ages, keep putting it on my b'day and xmas lists but to no avail... may just have to buy it myself :D

Hold on will this work

MrsFish, here, is the book my mother gave me. I notice on Amazon there is a fair selection.

Tecccchhhhhhhhh.....

My underwear is in between sensible and pretty, don't look good in any of my thongs anymore still holding onto them for memories sake though Also the maternity underwear I am now being forced to wear is serviceable more than anything else

Thanks Slubber

LL, very nice. Wrong sort of male with your pants in his mouth I fear!!

I still have my honey moon undies (in another shoe box). I get them out and put them on if I want to feel really depressed.

Oh my goodness, my tits used to fit in here.

And my lady garden was nicely tamed behind this

And I actually loved my husband enough to go to the exertion of putting this contraption on.

Ha Ha those were the days.

worth a try...

Just pleaded with the great god of Techenham to give us a "bold sentance" function

Can I remind you that the judge is female so flirtacious talking aboout sexy underwear is not exactly going to win me over in the same way as it might a male judge...

Ohh just remembered, I can make a napkin look like a plucked chicken

I am currently considering my name change....

I can do a chicken out of a teatowel - I assume it is the same...

What do you think of my judging categories?

Look - this is avillage show contest not a spelling test....

LL I think you need to vote in favour of anonymity cos you ain't pleasing me too much at the moment

Can we have traditional/contemporary teaware please

I guess I was thinking it would be 'proper entry' 'comedy entry' so yes.

But I don't want to do the comedy entry... but I have don't have fancy cups saucers teapot etc, just plain ones IYSWIM

Do you want a third category then? Or do you want to be with the traditionals?

Is anyone makeing rosettes/certificates. How many will they make?

I will judge as many categories as necessary (within reaosn) so I am not fussed.

I don't mind being with the traditionals as long as I'm not penalised for not having Aunty Mables antique teaset
