*Shuffles into November's thread on what could pass for a pair of feet unless closely inspected*

My feet "sort of" grew back but not quite in the way I would have wished for... smiley - blush

*Wiggles her fingers (the ones on the ends of her feet) through her hair (the hair now covering the lower part of her legs)*

Where's Pan when a girl needs her leg hair plaited? smiley - bigeyes

Pan, if the herbal remedy works, you'll need to share the formula.

Is there still a hole in the alley?

Hiya, Pan!

I have to admit I've never been run over by a garbage truck (or, if you wanted some British practise; a "dustcart" - also known as noisy creatures that wake me up twenty minutes before my alarm goes off on Tuesday mornings!) Although I have been run over by a few Mondays and once by a dentist in his flashy new Appointment convertible.

So where are the New Comers? When are they on stage? They're my favourite band...

*sings*

"I'd like to teach the world to sing... blah, blah. Doo-be-doo..."

Mind if I join you for a herbal alternative? They smell enticingly like pizza seasoning. smiley - biggrin

*Hobbles out of the Ladies dressed as usual in her flower sprigged frock, cardigan and oversized trainers, leaning on her cane. She's rubbing her sitter where somebody bit her when she was in her costume.* smiley - bruised

Ah! A new month. What a gift.

Gwennie, here is an ointment for your toes. Sorry that they curled away like that in the brew. I can't guarantee that they will come back as your own sweet pink tootsies, though. They might be webbed. Or not.

I'd like to dump the cauldron out and clean it, but the problem is that it's kind of toxic with that smiley - vampire spell on it. If it goes down the drain we could potentially have the blood sucking undead coming up out of our loos.

*Goes to the jukebox and selects Waiting All My Life. Hums along, feeling a sudden whoosh. Buttons up her cardigan. She stands at the now cooled fireplace, looking down at the heavy cauldron.*

I guess I need to think this one over. smiley - groan This calls for a sherry. or two.

*Gratefully rubs Mari's ointment on her legs and feet and watches with relief as the hair and fingers melt into a relatively normal pair of feet and hair-free legs*

Thanks Mari! You're a real brick! smiley - hug

By the way Mari, there are a couple of ladies who say their names Sherry at the bar waiting for you... smiley - cdouble

*Makes herself a freshly brewed smiley - coffee and holds the jug aloft*

Does anyone else have cobwebs that need clearing? smiley - biggrin
