cleaning you are a genius!

Simple but effective!

I have a maximum of 3 eggs allowed, I could do one bunny and 2 carrots on some grass?

Maybe have a few flowers.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 21/03/2017 21:34

For maximum effect, I would Deffo do the cracked egg/carrot top thing with one of the eggs. For grass we used shredded light green paper from Ikea. Smile

This is a welcome distraction from interview nerves!!

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 21/03/2017 21:39

Also it's quite easy to make paper flowers Smile

I'm dreaming of my escape from Cunt face director. I feel your pain Grin

Inarightpickleandchutney · 21/03/2017 21:41

Good luck with the interview!

I'll be back in the morning with draft design for MN approval

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/03/2017 21:54

Those carrot eggs are brilliant! Cleaning can be creative director for the Win the Egg Campaign.

Cleaning if you can ace egg competitions, you'll ace the interview no problemo,

Mucho worn outio here , night from me x

Evening surfers!
Day 3 on the board and I've surrendered to my inner chav by having a Carlsberg (out of the can). Watching the news on the terrorist attack in London- just awful Sad

Pickle hope your plans to seek revenge on BitchyMc through the medium of an egg competition are progressing well. She will have egg on her face soon, mwah ha ha.

Any lurkers reading, let us know how you're getting on. Smile

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 18:33

Transpires we get 4 eggs.

I have a shoebox... I'm thinking of cutting the front panel so when you lift the lid it falls open to reveal an organic garden.....

CitrusSun · 22/03/2017 18:35

Hello Lost, am on the white wine, bloody awful about the terror attack, this world is fucked I feel, not bothered for me, I've had a (colourful) life, but kids, grandkids, etc, they shouldn't have to know about all this, it shouldn't even be a part of their little lives, but it's a reality today that they do know of the horrors of terrorism. Just makes me want to get obliterated, hope the wine softens things a bit. Are you ok today?

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 18:39

Oh my good lord, sorry I've just seen the news, I'm here wittering on about eggs!!

Wow so sorry to be so insensitive, this is horrendous.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/03/2017 19:10

Hi Citrus yeah I agree with everything you wrote there, even the bit about the wine! Worrying about our about our own kids future is a bit of a head fuck.
That's ok Pickle I don't think it's insensitive to give a quick egg update. Your organic garden sounds brill. You definitely took Cleaning's idea and ran with it. Wink

After feeling so determined yesterday and so SICK of cocaine, I actually had a bit of a wobble when I got in. Confused Gave myself a stern talking to but ffs. Fed up of it always being on my mind.

ZiggertyZaggerty · 22/03/2017 19:27

Oh ffs... Just been told about the attack. OH works up there all the time and were there 2 weeks ago... We've just been for a long lazy lunch for an early Mothers Day (as oh will be away for the next few months) it makes me want to stay in sleepy Sussex rather than move somewhere more populated...?!
Hope work was okay today Pickle and bmbf kept herself to herself?

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 19:31

She did yes, apart from some PA comment about the egg contest which gave me
The fucking rage.

I want to whoop her tush at this.

Final decision made on design.

I may need to do you a diagram. It's farm based. One as a sheep, one cow, one pig, one chick, nestled in a grassy field with carrots sprouting.

That's the vision

CitrusSun · 22/03/2017 19:32

Hey Pickle, the egg chat is good, lightens the mood! It's just grim, all of it, and for someone whose default is escape it's hard to stay unmedicated, if you get my drift.

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 19:33

I do, however, I am resolute.

She ain't fucking with my shit.

serialtester · 22/03/2017 19:40

Pickle, can you incorporate a seaside scene with a surfboard?! PLEASE! Jesus, I hope you win. Feel ridiculously overinvested in this.

Pickle -you we CAN do this!! These ideas are amazing - who knew surfers where so creative Wink

ZiggertyZaggerty · 22/03/2017 19:47
Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 19:48

Ok... New plan.
Shoebox lined lid with blue sky and clouds.
Bottom part blue for sea part yellow for sand.
I do the snorkel eggs with flippers, add some deckchairs and a cocktail umbrella as a parasol, then do a couple of birds on wore as seagulls.

Thoughts?

Inarightpickleandchutney · 22/03/2017 19:49

What can I use to make tiny deckchairs??

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/03/2017 19:49

Will you find it hard with your OH away, Zig? A long lazy lunch sounds great.

Citrus stay unmedicated if you can! I always find a lot of wine makes me fall off the surfboard. Throwing you armbands x

Pickle we all love a bit of light hearted egg chat. Love your ambitious vision. Will the chick be to scale though compared to the other animals? Grin He could be a genetically engineered chick on steroids.

CitrusSun · 22/03/2017 19:53

Thanks Lost, am tooled up on the armband front, nothing can get through, am resolute.

ZiggertyZaggerty · 22/03/2017 19:55

Yes Lost - he's in the UK for a few weeks and then on tour for a few months (music stuff) meanwhile we have a house move going through and it's all a bit arghhh for my little brain!! Am going to stay surfing to keep my brain sane apart from over investing in egg box ideas

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 22/03/2017 19:56

See you've moved onto a beach scene! That sounds awesome.

Good shout Begbie Serial ..Choose egg competitions, choose Googling minature deckchairs, choose white wine, choose life..

ZiggertyZaggerty · 22/03/2017 19:59

Awww C'mon! This is surely an excuse to listen to Born Slippy Grin
