jumbo

my wifes wooden elephant lost his trunk on the back lawn when a gust of wind dropped a plant pot on it. The scene at the time was quite horrendouse. From the lounge window i noticed many birds pecking the tusk and when my companion (Lucy the cat) chose to run off with the tusk before dropping it outside my work shed my good lady was not happy. I tried to explain about the accident but to no avail i was instructed “put the tusk back on or no biscuits with your tea” my defences were breached so istuck it back on jumbo. Due to the cold it fell off again never to be found i,m afraid but my good lady serves a blue ribbond withmy cuppa any way.This incident occured several weeks ago but all is fine now. Take care enjoy

Oh, poor Jumbo...

Glad to know you are still receiving the Blue Ribands...
...I always enjoy your blogs :o))

There is nothing worse than being denied a Blue Ribbon with your tea 23... Glad to know biscuits are back on the menu. Sorry about the elephant!!!
7 Dec, 2010
Interesting that animals are so interested - what was the tusk made of, I wonder? As for the Blue Riband, yuk, give me a Penguin instead, thanks, lol!
7 Dec, 2010
not that keen on blue riband or penguin ~ prefer those cookies with big chocolate chunks ~ or just the chocolate!!
7 Dec, 2010
Penguin would be appropriate for the cold weather...
... or coconut snowball cakes... ;o)
7 Dec, 2010

you'd have to get them from Iceland of course!
7 Dec, 2010

Fear not ...
I've raided the Kennel Club Working Group, to send you a Canadian Eskimo Dog, an Alaskan Malamute and a Siberian Husky...
... equipped with a DVD of the "Snow Dogs" movie, to keep you amused till help arrives....
... or were you hoping for the brandy ...to be like Jumbo the elephant in the garden of 230338 ? ....
... wanting to get trunk ?
7 Dec, 2010
all will be acceptable, but it would be nice if they bring brandy too!

9 Dec, 2010
thats very kind
i want to make ~ and drink that coffee expresso ~ with cream ~ yummy!
9 Dec, 2010
Yes...looks good, doesn't it !
I'm sure I could make a herb wreath for less than £30 ! ;o)
9 Dec, 2010
i wasnt impressed with the wreath im afraid ~ i would have mixed the greenery, not put it in sections
how can a watch type thing make you fitter?? rather have a good looking personal trainer myself ~ just have to chase after him!!!
9 Dec, 2010
Lol...I have my own personal trainer....
Truffle the Smooth Fox Terrier..... ;o)
9 Dec, 2010
i would run after a truffle!
9 Dec, 2010
LOL...
After Krispie and Phil had eaten all that food, I'm not surprised they need Calorie burning devices ...
9 Dec, 2010
if only she had run to iceland or flown to lapland??
i liked the ice and the coffee thing best
we should do a new years eve blog on the best party!!!!???
9 Dec, 2010
I'll be here... not going anywhere...
... well... I might be... Phil's got the prunes....;o)
9 Dec, 2010
oysters straight up??? dont think i want to know what that means?!! more devils i think
9 Dec, 2010
im going to a concert on new years eve, in birmingham ~ dont have to go to a party that way ~ prefer a virtual one on here! have to do it before i go!!!
9 Dec, 2010
Yes... good idea ...
Oh.... Krispie won the ice sculpture !!!
9 Dec, 2010
how much did that party cost??? oysters, ice sculpture, flowers, curtains of fairy lights ~ cost £50 for 2 metres, krispie says you can go as far as your budget allows ~ that gives me enough for 1 porthole i think
9 Dec, 2010
and all the poor child gets is a water biscuit ~ is this child poverty?
9 Dec, 2010
Lol.
Question : ...
If Krispie says you can buy an glitter ball on the internet for less than £25 ...
... why is everyone working so hard on Strictly to win one ???
Thank you Sticki and friends for joining me on this blog...
and thanks to 230338 for nobly permitting us to hijack his blog. :o)))
9 Dec, 2010
yes sorry 23, hope you didnt mind ~ i would make you some chocolate biscuits to make up for it if i could!
good thought TT, i think it was less than £5.
9 Dec, 2010
Less than £5...??? then I'll order ten immediately...
... and ten of your chocolate biscuits as well, please...
9 Dec, 2010
i was keeping them for 23, but i could make you some too! will put a photo on ~ of the crumbs!!??
http://www.partybox.co.uk/general-party-products/Scene-Setter-Disco-Glitter-Balls-Pack-of-2-85x57_113641.htm

9 Dec, 2010
Oh, crumbs...
Quick ...

.. he is desperate to win one ....
9 Dec, 2010
