The First Event of 2007 Not just yet of course, but just thought perhaps it would be a comfy January thing to do, deciding on the next Potting Shed Event.
Should we have a poll or something? |
||||
| Haize |
Maybe another swap? A few people said their lives quiet down a little after the madness of Christmas, so it might be a good time to start one off. | ||||
| Leonie2 |
I would love to take part in another swap but I know I simply won't have time in the first few months of this year. But please all go ahead and organise something, I'll be watching and enjoying seeing what everyone does. 
|

| Becki |
I'd love to join in with something but not sure if i have enough time. I'll wait and see whatr you all decide to do before i jump in and say yes! 
|

| alison |
I don't mind what it is, and I don't mind organising it, as I offered before Christmas.
|
||||
| Kathy |
I don't mind either, I'm not good at ideas though. 
|
||||
| redwillowrose |
I`d like to in this aswell please !
Lyn |
||||
| Kathy |
Any ideas anyone!
|
||||
| Cabbagepatch |
perhaps an easter panto....nanny where are you.....
|
||||
| Kathy |
My god CP, you were reading my mind................ | ||||
| Becki |
Spring swap with lots of springy things? | ||||
| Jamanda |
How does that work then? |
||||
| alison |
Mandy, don't ask,
Surfice to say, copious amounts of alcohol are drunk, and a whole lot of waffle, loosely follows and excellent script, and moved on expertly by Nanny, who slowly has a nervous breakdown
|

| agapanthus |
How about a summer bulb swap? We could all get just one (largish) bulb do the swap...grow the bulb....and use the flower in some way? Maybe paint, sketch, dried to use in card or similar, photograph or just enjoy!!
|
||||
| Leonie2 |
I really like this idea
|
||||
| Becki |
So do I
Mind you I like alot of things at the moment, still can't stop spontaneously screaming
|
||||
| Kathy |
Jamanda, did you read the Christmas panto thread, it goes pretty much how Alison says!!
It starts here just before curtain up........................... http://thepottingshed.myfreeforum.org/ftopic1360-0-asc-0.php |

| nanny-now and forever |
i am indeed here
easter will be quite busy for us as it will be our first event of the season with any luck wea are planning a dog show with agility contest for dogs as well as an easter egg hunt so frankly don't know what i will be able to do we will probably have people from the trust staying as well so i think that i would have to be a bit careful about what i commit myself too panto for easter eh? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm will i recover from the christmas one in time..................... |
||||
| Jamanda |
Ah I see! I thought someone was in a real panto! |
||||
| nanny-now and forever |
of course it's a real panto i was there anyway so it must be real like santa he's real |
||||
| Cabbagepatch |
The Potting Shed Pantos are Very Very Real.
We all reel about for several days after 
|
||||
| Haize |
So you were with Santa? That is the logical conclusion from your previous statements. Does Mr Nanny mind? Or is he Mr Nanny/Santa in a Clark Kent/Superman fashion?
|
||||
| lloyd |
Nanny is a woman of the world who knows her own mind, She's an American, you kow?....anyway,,,her ways are different to ours.................
|
||||
| nanny-now and forever |
pardon?
i have lived here 34 years and can almost consider myself a native brit and as everybody knows, the brits are the only true eccentrics and haize, you haven't been peeping through that hole in the bedroom wall again have you? |

No no no, it's just that that tracker website that follows him makes it look like he spends rather longer at your house than everyone elses? I guess it could just be the presents for all your menagerie that take so long though...
Wouldn't want to be casting aspersions!
|

| Marton2 |
I like the idea of the bulb swap and the spring swap!
|
||||
| Cabbagepatch |
Alison, Alison where are you?
You willingly voluneered, oh yes you did. So what are we doing next??? No pressure 
|
||||
| lloyd |
It's ages since we did a forum dinner party? | ||||
| alison |
You lot chose what you want to do, and I'll sort out nagging you all and working out the partners etc.
|
||||
| Cabbagepatch |
Oh dear oh dear oh dear Ali, you may just regret that post.....
|
||||
| lloyd |
Can we do another forum dinner party? | ||||
| Becki |
No she won't, she's good at nagging
|
||||
| lloyd |
PLEEEEEEEAAAAAAASE?
|
||||
| Becki |
Oh for goodness sake, your grovelling man!
|
||||
| lloyd |
It was just so much fun, last March or April or whenever it was. Lamb Ragout and nettle soup etc....... |
||||
| Haize |
Another swap would be nice...
|
||||
| Leonie2 |
Lloyd, why don't you organise a dinner party for Feb.
I like the idea of a summer bulb thing which we then paint, photograph, make into a card or whatever so I'd be happy to organise that as I plan to take part.....unless you want to organise it agapanthus, I think it was your idea? And if someone wants to organise a swap perhaps a spring swap would be a good time? Alison, what do you think? |
||||
| Becki |
Yes lets do all of it! Yay!!!!! | ||||
| agapanthus |
Sure I don't mind...but no idea how to do it. Let me know how you want it done
|
||||
| Leonie2 |
well, we need a new thread created for the summer bulb project giving instructions as to what it's all about etc. Then we can all post progress during the next few months e.g. what type of bulb we've each bought, photos of it growing and of course the final bit of what artistic "thing" we have produced that was inspired by the flower. It's an easy one really because there's not posting or swapping involved, just discussion, photos etc.
|
||||
| agapanthus |
Do you think that if it was an actual swap people would feel more inclined to plant and take pics etc than if we just got a bulb for ourselves? | ||||
| Leonie2 |
I'll leave that up to you agapanthus
|
||||
| agapanthus |
Thanks Leonie..
|
||||
| Becki |
we could set up a poll to see which was preffered? | ||||
| agapanthus |
Off you go then Becki!!
|
||||
| Leonie2 |
If you'd rather I organise the bulb project then I'll be happy to. Just let me know whether or not I should so I know what's happening.
|
||||
| Cabbagepatch |
I'm happy to do any or all of the above but don't really have the time to organise anything this time around.
Just tell me what we are all doing and I shall of course just do it! |
||||
| agapanthus |
I was just teasing!!!
|
||||
| alison |
I am rubbish at thinking of these type of ideas, so if a spring swap idea is agreed on, I am happy to organise it. | ||||
| Cabbagepatch |
Hmm, Lent is upon us and I imagine everyone here is giving up something valued and important for 40 days.
Should we have something interesting to look forward to in order to keep us all on the straight and narrow ? Something decadent perhaps? Is there a panto where everyone eats and drinks too much? Nanny, Nanny........where are you?..................................... |
