I is sayin nuffin.  (but you could be write) 

Hez dun a good paint job on the shed tho.   

[wighty]

It now looks like one of those children's plastic play houses you can get.  And what happened to Snowy's jars of pickles and chutneys that she put in the cupboard.  I see I am going to be busy tonight and probably all day tomorrow re-writing the lists of shopping requirements, menus for over the festive period and the list of who wants what when. (can we have a hands on hips emoji please).  Also the biscotti in the cupboard all seem to have 'disappeared'.  Do I need to ask where they went or are they now cinders.

You is so kind, Wytee.  Cake pleese - and plenty of it.  Don’t for get the Tea.

[wighty]

Auntie I am getting so annoyed.  Fortunately we don't get the tea urn from the  Cricket Club that I've borrowed to keep you happy.   You haven't answered all the other questions I posed as to where us the cupboard with the biscotti etc.,  in.

[Aunt Sally]

Wot sort of cake is biscwoti ?

One you need your best teeth in for 

Looks like someone else had them then. You would have remembered crunching your way through biscwoti.

I'm just so glad that a lot of what I've made has been hidden around the country, otherwise there would be nothing left.  I do notice that Aunty hasn't answered the question about whether the pickles and chutneys are safe.

She thought my extra peppy rhubarb and chilli chutney was jam    I think the rest have been spurned as potentially dangerous, so we are OK there 

[Subversive_plot]

Apparently a journalist of some sort has been following Aunty (and allegedly, three friends) in pursuit of fruitcake.  Including visits to "she sheds".  Apparently, a dark tale full of woe is involved:



Hmm ... that must be one of the friends.

[Aunt Sally]

Berrrrp…

Think I needs a cup of tea to wash tha now 

[wighty]

The shed is a right mess, all the cushions  have been thrown on the floor and there are all those plates of uneaten food on every shelf or level surface!  Can we have a 'clean up' squad here please.  I do notice of a trail of cake crumbs all across the floor. 

[mumofstig]

Thank goodness we used paper plates, with plastic cutlery - I really didn't fancy doing any washing up...

[Subversive_plot]

I tried washing up paper plates once, it didn't go so well.   

[wighty]

I see it's been cleaned up and everything is back to normal, are we having some kind of  jumble sale or something as a lot of trestle tables have been set up. 

[snowdrops]

Well, since it was such a success, thanks Wighty for pulling it all together when you weren’t well, I thought we’d give New Years Eve a run for its money, picky bits in order & then something later on to soak the ahem booze up do you think? Hope those trestle tables will stand our combined weight
