Well yes sounds better to me but not infront of the Guides and Rangers- all ready have a bit of a reputation with my Rangers parents due to seeing wrong film.

Trousers off is for my eyes only after daughter gone to bed.
BTW she is also enjoying the extra dance practice with having the boys here ( clones) mind you she does enough dancing anyway-so far this week has done just under 40 hours with panto, extra practices and private lesson- that with own teachers not the boys

Cant wait for the christmas bonus.
* Yes Anton I will be back in a minute to practice*

Must go to practice Dusting Samba- nearly got it right but need to practice those shadow rolls a bit more

Kim, lovely kimi did you have a good time at ITT?

Dress is optional, if you don't want to dress well, hey-ho!!

Have numerous pink sparkly dresses so kindly donated by the Cartland Reading Appreciation people, if anyone wants to borrow. Barbara was a bosom buddy, read every one of her books.

Chesticles roasting on open fire!!

Pink n sparkly - ok yeh, can cope with that wouldn't want to put James off, by going 'undressed'

Oh yes, I had the most fabulous time at ITT, did so want to go to Monday's show too, but that would be incredibly greedy - but am getting such withdrawal symptoms by not seeing JM all week, and would love the chance to meet him again

what's a girl to do when SCD is finished

Ah, my first day of freedom, and it's the opening night.
Thank heavens for that!

What time should we be here?
I need to let my nail varnish dry properly, you see.

And I also need to escape from the tedious mundanity of tidying the house ready to put up the Christmas tree.

By the way, do we have a Velvet Snug anything planned for New Years?
It's just that we go back on the 3rd of January (bizarrely), so I'll need to buy cucumber slices and face masks for my recovery in advance.

Hi see you all later I may be a bit late as have had a call from the theatre- once senior dancer ill- well all 4 of them are but one throwing up. Sp daughter has to dance tonight-with a temperature poor lamb. Also relief chaperone ill so I am going in.

Be back about 10ish
Must put video on

Good Luck! Georgi M

hope everything goes well!

See you all in the VS between shows?

Hello all!

My, what a night it has been so far...

Hi all Im back see you in the velvet snug

I lined the BBC studios with honey earlier with the help of Agent Pooh & Karen... maybe tonight our plan will work?

I'm happy. I don't mind who won, I just enjoyed the night and all the dancing.

Well done Darren and Lilia. And congrats to Colin and Erin and Zoe and Ian too. And also all the other competitors. I have so loved SCD and have many many happy memories of the show.

Well - it's been a year but I'm back in the car park outside the studios and have started a fire in a bin, so I can toast marshmallows - I reckon we can catch the dancing couples on their way on to the first show...

who's with me?

I am!

Will bring alcoholic support for the chilly nights.

Hello Happyfeet and Camber, hope you are well. I can't beleive it's been almost a year since we were last out here.

Can you chuck some spuds into the fire, they're always nice at this time of year.

I'll be back in a couple of days to see how everyone is doing, we might have quite a crowd in the car park by then.

Happyfeet is back!! **jigs** yay oooo i love this thread, it takes me back!

Does anyone mind if i dig into a tub of ben and jerry's? Your welcome to join me

I wonder if Tiny is lurking around here somewhere, maybe if we get the custard out he'll find us

Well, of course, we have our chance, now - if we prevent anyone from leaving, we will have 14 couples to keep us entertained forever more.

We will be joined in our ventures by Humphrey the Hamster. His main skill is compacting sawdust in his tube, so I'm sure that will come in handy somewhere over the next few weeks. And he could probably get a couple of dancers in his cheek pouches. After all, they are very tiny - the dancers, I mean.

I'll bring a tent incase of bad weather.
I am sure that some of them would join us for a marshmallow and a glass of plonk. We'll after the show anyway.

aww humphrey might scarey tiny away tho! you know how elephants are scared of.... hamsters..... or is that mice...? **ponders**

I am pleased to report that Humphrey and Tiny have already exchanged a few tentative e-mails. I think they might try texting soon. They realise that they are on the same side, at least

ah good, i was just worried what with his recent weight loss i thought we'd better not stress him out too much

It is quite amusing watching the different ways hamsters and elephants use mobile phones

Yeah Tiny was really struggling with his phone but now I've got him a handsfree set he's much happier because it doesn't hinder his sequin sewing.

Can't believe it's raining out here - thank goodness for that tent!
I'm peckish... less than 24 hours to go though... we must employ Custard Tactics.

I read that Emma Bunton is odds on to win... hmmm.

Nooo mark is going to win :P not that emma is gonna be allowed to leave

Yes - priorities Pipie. I can't wait til tomorrow to make some snap judgements about my new favourites and be thrilled all over again

We're gonna need more support if we have to keep 14 couples in... I'm going to take the ambulance for a drive to see if I can drum up some support across the forum... can you guys make some placards? That hamster's been doing nothing but recording his new Crazy Hamster ringtone to go into preproduction - put him to work!

I think we may need some better training this year in our campaign.... I still can't believe Bill somehow was let out of the studio (though we did do well for the first 7 weeks!)
