Glitterball BINGO...THE SCD WINNER!!!!!

[TheSassyAssassin]

Too drunk for this

Octo is welcome whenever she likes Schaden. The three devils angels here are sleeping like the proverbial baby and all is calm

*DAME DARCEY BUSSELL just announced in new year honour list
*

Yes saw that

Hoorah! A well-deserved Damehood for the Busster!

I think the thread mascots might enjoy a trip to the palace to cheer her on when the Big Day comes!

So we're up, had breakfast and have decided to get us all exercised out today to burn off all that excess Christmas cake energy. And given their new mascot duties we decided we should give skating a whirl. CP doesn't need any as his webbed feet provide the perfect glide, Little FK is currently being fitted for skates but here's Fluffy Hamster all ready for the off!

sassy that's brilliant. Fluffy Hamster will be winning DOI at this rate!

Well we had mixed results but lots of fun! Little FK tried hard but wasn't very steady on his feet. CP was hilarious! Spent most of her time sliding around on her belly giggling away. But Fluffy Hamster? Forget DOI! I think we have found our first ever rodent gold medal winner! Absolutely astonishing! Anyway my cunning plan worked. They are shattered and already tucked up in bed. Cheers

Chuckling at a Christmas Carol Goes Wrong Fuzzy. Hilarious

I would have put Fluffy Hamster down as a gold medal rower. See her go in that little boat! Delighted she can do the Winter Olympics too (if she doesn't hibernate)

Could Little FK try archery?

I particularly liked the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, struggling with his extra height. What nonsense!

Yes when he was trying to fit down the passageway and bend to look into the window. Brilliant!

Oooh...Good suggestion Will have a think and try some other activities. Will keep you posted

FFS - don't let them near anything pointy!

The first couple of days were brilliant here, too - then there was a Jekyll and Hyde type transformation. In retrospect I think it may have been a surfeit of selection boxes - and of course, they were tremendously excited and wound each other up. My inability to cope has nothing to do with my shit parenting techniques

Aunty Sassy is nothing if not strict Schaden so they will be beautifully behaved they have no choice but will make sure they have lots of fun Have you and Octo recovered now or is it still o'clock chez Schaden?

We have progressed from to via Malteasers.

Octo is woking forward to spending the `New Year with you, now that she knows that you are a strict disciplinarian who stands no nonsense. I described you as a sort of Mary Poppins figure, and she is looking forward to raking about in your carpet bag. (All we found nay handbag was 217 pens, 11 old lipsticks, some Werther's originals, half a packet of Fisherman's Friends (Octo scoffed them- was not impressed), some tissues, 3 tennis balls, a wet sponge, elastoplasts, shark repellent, a pair of emergency knickers, and a nose hair trimmer (don't judge me).

*looking forward, not woking.

Oh yes, bluebirds, spoonfuls of sugar and chimney sweeps are a huge feature here. Spit Spot! Firm...but hopefully fair! Although I think the trio got a tad misty eyed earlier when they were telling me about Aunty Schaden's awesome selection boxes and Haribo on tap. Sounds liked they loved their time with you! & are bitterly disappointed they aren't actually able to eat the spoonfuls of sugar!

I am impressed by your handbag Schaden. It must be enormous Did you buy it in Woking?

Perhaps the Tiny Trio need more vegetables? Extra broccoli never hurt anyone. I hope some Mary Poppins discipline sorts them out. May I just mention that if you were thinking of flying a kite, DO NOT let them hang on to the strings...they may get blown away back to schaden's

So Little FK decided snowboarding is the way forward today despite me trying to explain the lack of snow might be a hindrance He's quite the diva on the quiet and took ages messing about with filters for his selfies! But another good day. Have said as they have been so good I might let them watch the fireworks round my way later. There is lots of excited chatter coming from the bathroom about that...in fact best just go and check... "CP! We do NOT use Fluffy Hamster as a loofah!"

It would probably be better if they didn't hold onto kites, or balloons, or Large Birds of Prey, or anything remotely airborne.

I wouldn't like anyone to think that I am sitting up on the roof with a high velocity rifle or anything like that it is a rocket launcher , but it would be tragical if they were involved in some sort of ground-to-air missile incident.

I think they will enjoy being bunged allowed to play up the chimney with Dick Van Dyke.

I hope FK and CP are not bullying FH? It's not "birds against the furry one" is it? If so, I shall have to put a Place of Safety Order on FH and rescue her.

I am not stuffing anything up Dick van Dyke thank you very much.

FH is all good...tucking into some broccoli as we speak. Did have to give her a blast with my hairdryer though....must find a brush in a minute....

Ha! She looks like me after a walk in this wind. Glad she is ok though.

Oooh! She's looking lovely! You must have enjoyed a girly night too, though I expect she ate the cucumber.

Has Octo arrived yet? She insisted on being taken down to the beach and swimming her way to the coastal resort nearest to Sassy - felt the need for a refreshing New Year's Eve dip, I think. She was going to hitch a lift from the beach to your door.

(Before anyone accuses me of being neglectful, she

a) is nearly a year old - that's 57 in octopus years

b) stone cold sober

c) a psychic cephalopod who Knows What She Is Doing

d) read her cards before she left, and apparently there's a particular Eddie Stobart driver who will be passing just as she hauls herself from the briny and starts waving her tentacles on the roundabout. Strictly speaking, they are forbidden to pick up hitchhikers, but that only applies to human ones. They don't leave ladies in distress either - even cephalopods, so she is confident of a safe arrival.

I gave her a tin of sardines and a bottle of raspberry gin for her lunch, but she will be ready for something nice for her tea when she arrives.

To be fair she could just about haul herself here...only a 15 min-ish drive from nearest coast. In fact we might all go for a walk there tomorrow. Ooh. Hang on. Am sure I just heard 8 knocks! ....

Wow! Am loving her NYE outfit! Oh and she says to go pull the 3rd book out from the left on the 2nd shelf down in your dining room Schaden something about a parting gift bottle of something for you this evening. She says you will understand?!
