Hyacinth Bucket

We have Hyacinth Bucket coming for evening tea this Saturday and we are both a bit concerned, one is the doggy smell in the lounge but worst is how to tell her we have a dog.
As Hyacinth is not a dog lover, well she only loves her self but don't tell I said that.
I have just given the house a good hoover and sprayed with a smelly on all the carpets.
If all go's well and Harley dose not shower her with kisses let alone bark at her we may still have a friend but if not we may be having our cucumber sandwiches in the shed.
Please take this as a bit of fun as Yes we do have a Hyacinth visiting us and she is a dead ringer on the TV program in all ways but like they say you can choose your friends but not you relatives.
Just wish us luck for Saturday.

On the upside... I doubt she`ll come back.

I met Hyacinth on the beach here once. She told me dogs shouldn`t be on the beach. I pointed out that I was a resident and paid the council tax that paid for all these amenities. She retorted...
Well my daughter lives here. And I`m sure she pays more Council Tax than you.

I can see sales in Fabreze rocketing

Think we all know a Hyacinth Bucket, mine is my s-i-l

Good Luck for saturday, the shed option sounds good though

Oh dear-hope it goes well!

I had a friend round who is not a doggy person and all was going well until I left her on the settee whilst I went into the kitchen to make a drink.

When I came back she was squashed right to one end of the settee with a loving Parker leaning against her and looking beseechingly at her for a fuss!

Bet you're overcome with excitement I hope it all goes well for you, just be extra careful about dog hair in the cucumber sandwiches

Mmm I too have one of these - she flaps and squeals when the dogs go up to her for a fuss and of course the more she does it the more they think it's a birlliant game. I tell them to go and lay down so they won't terrorise her any further but to be honest if she doesn't like it she can stay away - same with family to be honest, although they are all dog lovers thankfully.

Lol at those cucumber sarnies in the shed!!!!!

Do you have a Dyson?? If so, Dyson have brought out a fantastic new carpet cleaner/hoover cleaner, which makes the whole house smell divine dahling!!!! Luv Hyacinth It's about £8 but worth every penny for visitors like that!!!

Lol I have three Hyacinths! All in-laws thank god! Whilst my parents are quite happy to have Kiba in their house and staying over or coming down to visit us and even letting him on holiday with us, my in-laws hate dogs and my mother in-law especially is very OCD with hygiene and wont even touch her own cats! so Kiba's not allowed in her house, in her garden or anywhere near her. Saves me visiting :Lol: Kiba is part of my family, you wouldn't expect to leave a child at home or shut away, so why the dog in my view

Good luck with your Hyacinth! May she be justly initiated into the wonders of dogdom!

Your post reminded me of this

Love that poem - sums it up perfectly!
I feel out of the loop...I had to google who this hyacinth person is
