~ The Office Christmas Party ~ It is the office party, come and be of good cheer It can’t possibly be as bad as it was last year I know I said never again, but well you know I wouldn’t feel Christmassy without the yearly show There will be Rachael from accounts being sick And Tracy from sales being blonde and thick There’s Mark that slimeball he’ll flirt again Let's shoot him down, I'll snuff his flame There’ll be Big Dave from packing telling jokes And standing in the corner with the other blokes Jamie will be there giving us his tortured soul spiel And everyone knows Jamie, that guy’s just unreal Watch out for Mel she causes the building to shake And whatever you do don’t touch Tricia’s cake Rosie will be doing her best to get Peter to dance I wish her luck but really she’s got no chance Tim will be standing by the buffet looking lost And Sally will boast that she doesn’t count cost As for Mike he’ll be sitting back taking his ease And I’ll be doing what I can to please David will call the boss an idiot but quietly And old Simon will be trying hard to be sprightly He’s been with the firm since the first you know And he tells me he loves this convivial show So I’m going to the party and I’ll join in the fun I’ll eat buffet food and something wrapped in a bun I’ll dance to the music and giggle at jokes Then calm down some rather over amorous blokes I’ll not think how foolish it is to behave like this And when Simon asks me I’ll give him a kiss We’ll have a fabulous time and be of good cheer Then say it was fun but not as good as last year Marsha To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Margie girl darling sister of my heart, it was red darling girl, and split to the thigh, but I've lost so much weight it doesn't fit me now. I have a top that I really want to wear, but it really is too indecent to wear out. It's a sequinned butterfly in silver and black. It has virtually no back to it, just a single lace thing that crosses over the back once and leaves the rest bare. It barely covers the front, seeming to stay on by will power alone. Everyone knows I have no will power but maybe just maybe I might wear it. It would certainly be appreciated by the men, but the women would hate me like poison. Possibly I might be murdered by the end of the evening if I did. Yes it is that kind of top. But oh I do love it. You know me and glitter.  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Peaches thank you muchly, it will be a jolly party, they always are   Love and warm stuff As always Slushy Vicky thank you love, yes a typical office party, too much good cheer and you have to remove Sid's hands off your ...... cheese nibbles, what did you think I meant, yes that too.  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Juanita darling girl, of course lets not forget the designated driver Glad you liked it darling I do like to write funny once in a while  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Noah love thank you muchly it was a little bit of nonsense to make people smile  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Tita thank you love I'm glad you liked it Love and warm stuff As always Mushy :clapping>Lyra darling girl thank you so much it's just me playing really. I fancied writing something a little lighter. I do love to smile  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Nancy Thank you muchly if it got a smile then I'm content. Love and warm stuff As always Mushy : RP thnak you so very very muchly Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

*giggling wickedly* go and have fun, dear girl and don't forget to let us know what a hit your top was. LOL I love it. I am into glitter too......I got myself, just because I loved it, a red and black glitter dress but *sigh* no place to wear it and no one to show it to. *grin* maybe someday there wil be. **hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Kari darling girl, of course thats the grown up party the docs and nurses party is altogether another affair. You too darling girl, have a fabulous time and I promise I'll stay away from trouble. Don't you dare say impossible, I can't help it trouble comes looking for me Have a good one darling girl Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Karen Oh sweetie I thought you'd have let yourself be caught by now. What is the matter with all the men around you are they blind? As for the top, I gave a preview of it and it very nearly brought on a cardiac arrest. Maybe I'd better not wear it. I know it's a hospital but they object strongly to giving beds to the staff. You have a fabulous Christmas darling girl Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

This was just too funny!! I think you've just described every office party I've ever been to. Every year...same song, different verse. But I wouldn't miss 'em for the world. |

TA yes that's the way of it, we wouldn't miss them but ooh will we ever learn. There's always someone who's sick and someone doing something incredibly thick. That'll be Tracy you can bet. She's blonde what do you expect? Glad you liked it I certainly will have fun Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |
