jetson - talk to CountessD, she's in charge

morningpaper · 30/11/2007 19:35

well I don't know WHAT to wear

I think it will be largely Primark chic with a dash of Ebay

I am hoping it will be 1. dark and you will be 2. drunk

RabbitBurns · 30/11/2007 19:38

Well, I was planning on wearing a sheer black shirt over a sparkly top with a black skirt.

Cannot do up the skirt and the washing machine appears to have eaten my shirt. It has vanished.

So now I have no bleedin' idea what I am wearing.

CountessDracula · 30/11/2007 19:39

gizmo · 30/11/2007 20:11

To assuage my nerves and incipient control freakery I have been making a list.

So, so far we have:

  1. 2 mumsnetters with spots
  2. 3 with colds and crusty noses
  3. at least 3 who are going to spend the first 45 minutes holding their tummies in frantically
  4. 1 nervous one sitting in the corner picking at a doil(e)y
  5. countless more who are probably emptying and repacking their suitcases as we speak
  6. 1 free spirit who doesn't care about tights
  7. A pissed up rabbit
  8. A gnome

I predict a riot.

RabbitBurns · 30/11/2007 20:15

a sticky pissed up rabbit

Slubberdegullion · 30/11/2007 20:23

Right I am going to finish packing my bag. I have put up the tampon globe, put out the dd's ballet clothes, removed hair from legs, attempted and failed to top up mobile....................what else, what else.....there is something else?

I have to be out of the house by 8.30am or I will miss the bus, and Chippy will be left standing forlonly at Victoria Bus station, waving a sieve meekly in the air as our pre-arranged sign of identification.

RabbitBurns · 30/11/2007 20:23

Oh lord, I haven't defoliated yet

CountessDracula · 30/11/2007 20:23

We could have a special corner for spotty birds on the blob

RabbitBurns · 30/11/2007 20:28

Actually I am about to give DH a pedicure in return for him letting me use his foot spa. He is such the ponce.

MrsRecycle · 30/11/2007 20:30

SleeplessStacey - unfortunately essbee couldn't get a babysitter so isn't going to be able to make it. Such a shame but I'll talk to you!!

Oh damn, haven't managed to get my legs waxed. Mind you that should go down well with the MNWI so maybe I can join that group?

whoops · 30/11/2007 20:32

SleeplessInTheStaceym11House · 30/11/2007 20:33

Kathyis6incheshigh · 30/11/2007 20:33

Add me to the 'spotty' list.

Why does anyone care though? At least tomorrow nobody will be able to criticise anyone's spelling.

SleeplessInTheStaceym11House · 30/11/2007 20:34

RabbitBurns · 30/11/2007 20:34
