Zombie's Journey into 2017: One day at a time

[IamtheZombie]

Previous thread is HERE

Happy New Year Phalanx and, indeed, all of Mumsnet!!

We've had the wedding. We've had Christmas. Or, as I refer to it: THE MOST AMAZING CHRISTMAS EVER.

Now it's onward one day at a time.

There will be planning of the wake so it's going to be THE MOST AMAZING PARTY THREAD EVER.

If you've not joined us yet, please do so now.

delurking to wave and wish a Happy New Year

@Zombie I have been lurking on your threads for a couple of months now; they are uplifting and inspiring. Would love to join the phalanx; I can provide some well dodgy tunes and a variety of gin and whiskey!

Happy New Year Zombie and Phalanx. Shortbread and black bun anyone?
Maybe not. I can bring lots of cheesy music.

Oooh. What's a black bun?

Shortbread always brings a party.

Happy New Year Zombie glad you had an awesome Christmas.
I will bring my home flavoured cinnamon vodka!

Noncom Black bun is a fruit cake in pastry It's a really old fashioned Scottish thing served at NY. You could lag your loft with it

Delurking to say Happy New Year to you Zombie.

Happy New Year Zombie. Glad you had The Bestest Christmas Ever.
I can make a fabulous grown up chocolate cake or a plate of iced ring biscuits, chocolate fingers and 'chocoate" covered tea cakes if we're going retro.

Another lurker bravely delurking to wish a Happy New Year to you @IamtheZombie. You truly are an inspiration.

Gladly offering my singing services

I can do a cracking Send In The Clowns a la Judi.

Ooh sounds intriguing

For my song, I'm singing "Black Velvet." Kareoke fav.

Welcome one, welcome all.

I'm off to bed in a few minutes but thought I'd leave you with 3rd WakePlayList™ choice.

Sure I was only going to post once and return to lurkerdom

Hoping you have a comfortable night Zombie.

Night Zombie. Hope you have the sweetest dreams.

as I say to my (grown up) DD's - night, night, sleep tight Zombie

Happy new year, i de lurk and I bring crisps and dips. Many, many dips.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=m4tcRlHY-3Q I offer this suggestion, though it's a maudlin one it is beautiful.

Sleep tight Zombie.

Delurking (again) to say Happy New year and loving the wakeplaylist choices so far.

goes back to lurking

Good night Zombie! Lovin' the playlist.

May I bring the Twiglets? All good wishes.

Blimey!

Some party you've kicked off here Z

I'll do the double act with you Allalone to "Dancing in the Street" -
best thing from Live Aid.

Sleep well Zombie ((()))

B3 You can't help but dance to it !!

How has this one got so many posts already?! Great playlist so far.

Can I de-lurk as well if I bring food? It seems like this is the thread to do it (even if we're now scaring you by revealing how many secret stalkers you have). Anyway, my NY resolution is to get more involved so may as well start here!

Food-wise, my veg drawer is very full but I suspect much of it is mouldy and we've just been skimming off the top. But I do have a small amount of cheese and random Borough Market salami-esque sausages if they are acceptable?

Failing that, our drinks cupboards has a lot of spirits in that we don't like - rum, vodka, martini and many others. They may be several years old, but doesn't that just make then aged and therefore classier?

You won't scare Zombie diamantegal she loves nothing more than having lots and lots of people posting on her threads.

Especially if they bring cheese and salami-esque sausages!
