Hi Guys - just wondered if any of you had planned a Strictly - The Final - Party?

If so;

1) What yer wearin'
2) What drinks are yer servin'
3) What food are yer servin'
4) Who's comin'
5) What will you be doing in the break?

We are;

1) Wearing spray tans 'n' glittery frocks/tuxes
2) All Gritty's cocktails from Bar Cutler
3) Bananas Butties, Banana Splits(for Matt) Chocolate - for Georgina(!) Pringles (for Darren)
4) All family Quirky and Quirky mother
5) Watching what we have just taped and emulating dances(!)

Have a great Christmas - can't wait for Semi and Final - but how empty and depressing is January going to be - or are we all booking dancing lessons and hoping teacher is James Jordan

No Sorry can't say I have.

Are you Pauline Quirke by any chance

1) We're not quite so glamorous...we'll just be wearing whatever we've been wearing all Saturday
2) White wine for mum ("Wine is my blood! I need it to live!" she says in a bad Transylvanian accent.), pints of rum, coke and cranberry juice for dad (Don't ask, something to do with the Star Trek museum in Vegas) and diet coke for me.
3) We'll be having our tea while it's on, so...probably lasagne, we've got about six in the fridge for some reason and Dad has this rule where you have to wait for three days after eating something before you can have it again.
4) Just me, mum and dad. And the cat. And possibly some fish, depending on if we've got them by then. (They will be safe from the cat.)
5) Watching X-Factor and stopping Dad from singing along. (Example: During Abba week he bursts out with "I don't wanna talk..." from The Winner Takes It All. This is met with loud shouts of "Then don't!")

EDIT: Somehow this bit didn't get posted: -

But since X-Factor will have finished by next week, we shall be watching something like Casualty or Holby City or Doctors. They all start to blend together after a while, and since the same people tend to guest-star on them all, it can get quite confusing. ("Hang on, I thought she broke her leg?" "No, that was last week - this week she's got tuberculosis." "Oh...")

I literally cannot stop laughing!!! - I won't let Mr QS have Chilli unless we have had a four day gap!!

Perhaps you could add a touch of spray tan - or glitter (?)

Perhaps! I am sure we have some red glitter around here somewhere. I don't think the cat will be best pleased, but oh well...

Absolutely a party!

My tribe will be hosts to my parents this year - they are also big fans.

I shall insist on glitter and fancy costumes - even the cats will have their sparkly collars on.

Not sure about food yet - it depends what M&S have in!!! But we'll be sipping pink fizz and no doubt arguing fiercely about who should win.

I thought everyone did this!!!

I'll be at home for Xmas, so I think it'll be a packet of crisps in my jim jams, and possibly some squash if I'm a good girl

Aww that sounds luverly

this is what we're looking for - remember why we watch it - not just for ammo for moanfest
