The First Annual Meeting of the Xmas Tree Committee

Miriam: Hey girls, we have a tree

 

I've made a list of things I think we need to do.

Trinity: Are you checking it twice?

Where do we want to put it?

Llewellyn: we need a fire place

Josefina: with a chimney

Phillippa: and a mantel piece

Antoinette: I think we need snow

Emily: ooh I like that idea

 

Trinity: Um Emily, should Coconut be doing that?

Emily: ooeerr, Coconut, come here

how embarrassing 

 

Mercedes: If we want snow, the nearest would be the carpet in the room up there.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh (awe not scream)

Antoinette: there was some rope here from the BFC ink sale, that might help

we tie it to the bottom of the tree and hoist it up

  Phillippa: (you might have noticed I've changed my name) I'll go upstairs

Josefina: I'll help you

 

Llewellyn: nearly

Phillippa: just a bit closer, maybe a chair

 

Trinity: I found a ladder

Phillippa: No, yep that's got it, hey Jo pull me back

 

 

Josefina: Heave, ho

Nearly... we've run out of room!

Miriam: I've got it

Phew, that was close, but we got it there.

Next job...

Decorations!

Trinity: I've seen them in the other room

Miriam: hey Em, you want to come next door to find some decorations?

Emily: I don't know if Coconut will behave or not. I'm trying so hard to look after him and show Catherine that I can

Miriam: It'll be okay, I'm sure, he might like the walk.

Miriam: not quite a sleigh

Trinity: look at all the colours

 

Emily: there's so many

Miriam: how bout we take as much as we can and see what the others think

Trinity: hehehehe a kitten after my own heart

Phillippa and Josefina: wow

Trinity: hey Pudding these ribbons are great

Phillippa: I like the purple

Josefina: I like the gold

 

Llewellyn: my favourite colours are red and yellow

Antoinette: we need pink

Alot of rabble

Trinity: Hey Pudd, lets sneak away

Ah that's better. You know Pudd there's only one thing I wish for Xmas.

 

Some time later..... 

 

Whats old is new again A recycled Xmas, or To Regift or Not To Regift

Emily found Llewellyn, Miriam and Trinity in one of the emptying rooms.

The BFC inkers are cleaning out their things, and selling them.

Ooh, we did like some of their things we saw before they started moving.

And, they still have their Xmas tree from Last year!

Xmas

Xmas, we have to do Xmas

Yes we have to do Xmas

 

Maybe we could buy some little presents too.

I'll go see if I can find some of the others.

I'll go see if I can find a shopping trolley.

 

Hi Antoinette,

Hello

We've just found out that the BFCs are selling off some of their things.

Ooh, I did notice the Princess girls.

They're down in the old common room.

 

Hoh, I'll just get my hat.

I'm looking for a trolley, so we can bring things back.

Hey Sammy, if that's still your name.

Yes, I'm still Samantha. Catherine can't make up her mind as to what to call me.

Do you have any names you like?

Hmm, I kind of like Analeise, or Andrea, and Catherine kind of agreed, but we're still thinking about it. I don't really want to keep my box name, cos there would be like 100's of me otherwise.

Hee hee, yes, I changed my box name too.  Well hopefully we'll know soon so we can put your new name on your Xmas presents.

Xmas presents!?

The BFC inkers are having a garage sale, Emily was just telling some of us, and we thought it might be nice to get each other a little present, secret like so it's like it actually is from Santa.

Oh wow, Santa will still come though wont he?

I'm sure he will, Catherine said he sometimes just needs a little bit of hand.  

 

Perfect!

 

 

We're going down to the old common room to do some shopping, Mercedes.

Ooh, do we have any money?

I do, in my little purse

 

See

Um, I think that is from overseas, Jo, a collectible really. We couldn't use that.

I know where there's money.

Hey Miriam, like the trolley

Where are you going Trin?

To find the money.

Oh, yes, ha ha, forgot that bit.

Look Pudd, I'm sure there'll be some in there.

 

 

Hmm, or not

 

Ah, the other bag.

 

And a purse!

 

Jackpot, and look at those cards

C'mon Pudd, we're going shopping.

Hello, we'll take the lot

cachimg!

 

 

Can I help you there?

I do like these drawers, but do you have something bigger?

Hmm, yes I think we do.

Love this hat. What's behind the white board?

 

Tea Set

 

Fish Tank

 

Hoh, the tree!

Nothing to see here

 

White chairs and brown chairs

 

It still looks good Llew.

I saw some decorations too, but they don't seem to be of the same set.

Maybe we can make some.

 

Need another trolley I think.
