Mad Over 50's Club now open.

[Mamyalynne]

Good evening, everyone is most welcome to pop in and toast the start of this new year. I feel we may be a bit more casual this evening as am sure all are a bit weary with too much partying.
There are plenty of nibbles on the hall buffet table and of course, mulled wine and tailcocks too, any suggestions for new mixes will be met where possible.

Any rejected xmas gifts will be more than welcome as ruffle prizes and if it is very quiet, will be rolled over until next week.

So welcome all both new and old, slightly mad or just a bit miffed. Any good party game ideas would be fun . I do hope Milady does not mind this impromptu opening.

Can we do it by remote control video link tonight please, mamya? I am too Knacked to come out, too much partying yesterday..... I can bring a gift set of Nivea bath stuff for the truffle.

[Mamyalynne]

Of course Boxy, as I said a casual laid back evening.

[boxtops]

I hope the video link won't show me lolling on the sofa watching Independence Day....

[Mamyalynne]

You won't be the only one LOL

Hello everyone.

Just popped in quickly to say hello and do enjoy yourselves.
May be able to pop back later.
Have brought half a tin of Roses for the raffle (soft centres only)
Happy New Year to all!

[Mamyalynne]

Good evening Milady, we won't be too rowdy by the looks of it.

[starone]

Hello mamy and my lady. I love soft centres, yummy. I shall definitely buy some raffle tickets. My contribution is another half a tin of Roses, only in this case hard centres only, and nutty ones. I also have a once loved party hat which looks a bit like one of those santa claus hats. May as well get rid of that. And two yo-yos which were in the crackers we had on Christmas day. Is it my imagination or are we very sparse tonight? Everyone still recovering from Christmas and New Year's Eve.

[Mamyalynne]

Evening Starbuck, yes I think it will be quiet but still a chat and a drinky can't be all bad.

[DaisyNonna]

Happy New Year All
.
Still feeling fairly fragile after The Christmas Charades. How the eight year old thought we older family members could manage 'The Eagle of the Ninth' does not bear thinking about. Wuthering Heights was performed ingeniously.

Did manage to filch some scrummy garlic olives from the twelve year old for the trifle.

Could manage a bloody mary (gin instead of vodka please) and a water biscuit.

[Mamyalynne]

No problem Daisy, coming right up.

[starone]

Might as well start on the goodies then. Have we got to finish up the left-overs and if so what are they? Hope you have kept them in the fridge. 5 day old stuffing might not taste quite the same and pigs in blankets might need a good sniff before eating but I'm willing to take a chance if you are and we can drink plenty of your tailcocks to wash them down. Here goes nothing!

[Mamyalynne]

Oh no leftovers , all fresh, we have Mushroom Voltra Vons. Stilton and cranberry filo parcels, a wide selection of cheeses and a big pan of Lobster Bisque with home made crusty cobs for dipping.

[starone]

All the ones who have not arrived do not know what they are missing. That is a feast fit for a king, or even a queen.

[Mamyalynne]

Well we knew it would be a bit slow, but still a nice relax with a few nibbles, can't be beaten.

[boxtops]

Daisynonna, I loved the Eagle of the Ninth when I was a little person!

[DaisyNonna]

How do you get a swan in Lobster bisque?

Boxy, glad you enjoyed the book. A family favourite!

Anybody got other favourites?

[Mamyalynne]

Good play on words there Daisy, will get my pen to write that down.

[ttfn]

Good evening one and all. A Happy New Year to you and I hope your Christmas was pleasant ♥

[Mamyalynne]

Oh Ena, welcome dear would you like a Brandy dear to warm you??

[ttfn]

Thank you mamya - purely as a medicinal you understand as am feeling quite warm this evening. Can't think why that should be :o)
