Mumsnet Village Show - An Afternoon Tea Tray for One

659 replies

Slubberdegullion · 26/06/2007 13:46

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.

PointyDog - sounds like you want class 2...for the slightly less serious entrants who don't own a matching teaset.

pointydog · 27/06/2007 21:19

how tactfully put, scones!

MegaLegs · 27/06/2007 21:19

oo - oo, if you add cooments you can do moving smileys and banner things

SconesandMajesticSandwiches · 27/06/2007 21:22

The bite me one is rather appropriate

And who is Wanker?

MegaLegs · 27/06/2007 21:23

Bite me was my first choice.

And you don't want to see my thong at the side of my sticky bun and cream slice?

SconesandMajesticSandwiches · 27/06/2007 21:26

That would mkae you -121 points tigi (with your cricketers entry )

onlyWotzadodar · 27/06/2007 21:26

Have I walked in the the modern day version of the WI tent?

SconesandMajesticSandwiches · 27/06/2007 21:27

Indeed...

onlyWotzadodar · 27/06/2007 21:29

well would you like to see my DH's large turnip? He is very proud of it and his beetroots and I have grown some ripe pumkins over the years.

TigiCupCakes · 27/06/2007 21:29

What? I was only checking, - I'd missed half the conersation., but I noted that undies had been discussed, and just wanted to see what i could do to get extra points...

SconesandMajesticSandwiches · 27/06/2007 21:30

Wotz...I think the produce marquee will appear sometime in August

onlyWotzadodar · 27/06/2007 21:31

I see, what a fool I have made of myself,

SconesandMajesticSandwiches · 27/06/2007 21:31

You loose 1 point for every portion over catered (so that is -21)
You loose 100 points for any display that includes underwear (so that is -100)

SconesandMajesticSandwiches · 27/06/2007 21:32

but feel free to display them now if you wish Wotz...then we all know what we will be up against

TigiCupCakes · 27/06/2007 21:33

Okay okay keep yer hair on...
I'll abide.

onlyWotzadodar · 27/06/2007 21:35

can I come a peek later when they are judging...?

SconesandMajesticSandwiches · 27/06/2007 21:36

Peak whenever you want my dear... did you see last weeks cupcakes...they were impressive

Slubberdegullion · 27/06/2007 22:10

SMS, fabulous rules. Did you read them off a clip board? Do you have a bun yet (maybe not possible with new short hairstyle), or a judges apron, or an official badge?

OP posts:
SconesandMajesticSandwiches · 27/06/2007 22:13

SLubbsy I have a fabulous memory and didn't even use my prompting cards

I may not have a bun, but I have a tasteful white hat with a blue hair net underneath (health and hygiene and all) and a little red apron which says "mummy's little helper" alongside a Christmas Pudding (now there's an idea )...

Slubberdegullion · 27/06/2007 22:15

(what are we secretly gathering ideas in June for the Christmas Fair? So far we've got the Blue Peter advent candle holder with coathangers class)
