What about a shed-warming?

n · What about a shed-warming?

Anyone up for a shed-warming in a week or so when we have settled in?
We should all bring a dish to share (of the culinary variety, naturally Wink

).
And perhaps a gift for the community.
And say what you will be wearing (so that no-one feels under or over-dressed).

I will wear my new pink socks, which will be finished by then.
I am off to plan the rest of my outfit... well surely no-one thought I was coming just wearing socks?!!

Leonie2

sounds like a great plan n, ooooh what to wear.....

nanny-now and forever

count me in if it's a friday

i shall wear.......perfume...eau de goat shed so i feel at homeand i shall bring a bottle of talisker malt

Kathy

My perfume at the moment is eau de dog poo.........., I'll wear that shall I?

nanny-now and forever

possibly a tad stronger than my own kathy

together we will make a cracking pair

what about coco and greenlady?

last seen with foal at foot?

are they joining us at all

and how is green man by the way

conspicuous by his absence

greenman331

im here, im here, just got a lot of irons on the fire at the moment *dissapears into a puff of smoke*

nanny-now and forever

ah

well done

it's rare enough for a man to pick up an iron let alone know how to use it

Leonie2

Nice to see you again greenman Very Happy

greenman331

ive been doing my own ironing since I was 7, my mother says she taught me well, *cough cough slave driver cough cough* Laughing

Kathy

Slight exaggeration, I taught them all as soon as they were old enough not to burn holes in clothes, or themselves. I'm a great believer in nurturing independence! Cool

nanny-now and forever

i cannot believe that your mother, that sainted person, kind to children and dumb animals, would ever have been so horrible as to make you do your own ironing

well done kathy

Kathy

Leonie2

gosh S is 7 now, better get that iron out tomorrow and start teaching him Wink

n

I think I will bring elderberry wine, to go with the pink socks.
n

Leonie2

very co-ordinated n Very Happy

n

One has to make an effort, doesn't one?

Becki

I won't be able to make a friday - but it does sound like fun Very Happy

Cabbagepatch

Shed warming a fab idea. Can't comment about my little ones' ability to iron tho Rolling Eyes

Leonie2

Well if Becki can't make a Friday and Nanny can only make a Friday, then....here it comes, perfect excuse, why not a shed warming weekend! Razz

a long one at that, friday to sunday, and everyone can come back on monday morning too, to help tidy up. Laughing

Becki

Nice idea

I'll get the beers in then Wink

n

Only you, A, would think of that great idea.
Now will I need a change of outfit?

lloyd

But sheds are for blokes!..................... Shocked

nanny-now and forever

i have a shed lloyd - it used to be the wash house

in my shed is

my washer

my dryer

my freezer

dog food

cat food

painting decorating equipment

recyclables

a butler's sink

kindling and a bucket of coke for the fire

it is well organised and i DO NOT like it to get messed up by mr nanny dumping his stuff in there.......

smae thing as a guy shed only female orientated

GreenLady

A shed warming is good! I will be wearing eau de foal poo and I suspect coco will be sporting the same natty fragrance, my outfit will probably be made entirely of scotchguard to repel any animal waste matter as I'm sure we will be called out mid proceedings to deal with a bumptious young foal. As for the day, i dont mind. I'll leave the food to mum... Laughing

Becki

Something not too fattening Very Happy

After riding that poor thing last week, it's kicked me back into my diet Very Happy

Becki

So is it next weekend then? Very Happy

Leonie2

I'm okay for this weekend, but what about D, isn't it her 50th this weekend? We could do next weekend or another time if that's better Very Happy

Becki

The following one would probably be better then Very Happy

Leonie2

Maybe Lloyd will be back with us by then too Very Happy

lloyd

I'm back, but still feel that ladies have no place in a man's shed............. Wink

Leonie2

Lloyd I think you'll find it's no longer a meagre shed, with us ladies involved it's transformed into a huge barn with all the crafting trappings a girl could wish for Laughing

Okay, so is everyone okay for a shed warming this weekend? If we spread it over a couple of days with everyone popping in whenever they want to. Do we want a theme for our party? And the important bit, who's bringing what to eat and drink? Oooooh, and what to wear, let's get our avatars into a party mood! And we need to decorate our shed, who's in charge of decorating, any volunteers?

Very Happy

Cabbagepatch

ooh please may i do the decorating?

i think garlands of honeysuckle, ivy, jasmine and roses festooning the ceiling and doorway, lavender and herbs strewn upon the floor and for the evening lots of twinkly nightlights. (forget the fire hazard).

No tacky paper streamers and balloons in this Potting Shed Very Happy

Leonie2

Ooooh that sounds lovely, I can almost smell it from here, lovely Very Happy

nanny-now and forever

i will try and pop in between coats of paint .....will it be in the land of no football or tennis or grand prix motor racing?

that would be wonderful.............

lloyd

Football Shmootball!! Evil or Very Mad

.....If thats on, I'll have to turnoff the power to the shed and get my Red Dragon flag out!! Laughing

Kathy

I'll come if Jellycat brings some apple trifle and n brings some pumpkin chutney. Now I know we said no tennis but seein as how Andre Agassi has retired can he come (pretty please). Oh, and I know some people will want Johnny Depp. Cool

Now what shall I wear..........................

lloyd

I'll make the bread? Very Happy

Kathy

Yes please! Laughing

Leonie2

Jellycat must bring that trifle.....forget Johnny and Andre, I'll be happy with a bowl of trifle Laughing

Becki

I'll bring lemon cheesecake Laughing

Guest

Will do my best to pop in, as I know we are at the Scarborough Bike Races and I am also going to see a T.Rex tribute band so I will be in me glitter gear! Wink

Leonie2

Leonie2

Cabbagepatch

Leonie2

I'm just going to change into something more suitable and more flattering to my derrier Laughing

Cabbagepatch

Cabbagepatch

Leonie, am i hallucinating????

Leonie2

Cabbagepatch

Leonie2

lloyd
