To ask all Chaletians to get ready for Madame's birthday?

[LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett]

Pop to the splasheries my lambs and after you've brushed your hair till it shines we'll have a quick practice of 'I sing of Margaret so fair'.

Once we've finished casting the movie, that is....

EatingMyWords that makes it into a beautiful musical name and I always thought it was Ilunedd yours is much nicer.

I wonder if Joey was ever a tiny bit pissed off with her precious babies see I can remember getting out if bed for the fucking millionth time when all of mine were babies and shouting (not at them at the wall) for fucks sake!!!!

Wouldn't she ever want to just fuck off for a spa day or get her hair cut. Wouldn't her and Hilary and Biddy have just for once fucked off to the local Gathus, left the men to babysit or Anna/Rosli and just get rat faced.

Summer my lamb not the main staircase or Deney will catch you.

And I feel sorry for Bernhilda. She's always sprogged up. Married early as girls do on the continent and years later can't make reunion as still having them.

Sorry to use that nasty word. Hands full/very busy/extent ion to the family/ other fish to fry/ blah blah.

Oops meant Gisela not Bernhilda she's there and gets called fat by the equally fat Maynie.

It's Joey not me that was sliding down the bannisters

Honestly, I get the blame for everything around here.

Right summer young lady first of all you are not allowed ponytails at the chalet school it's far too modern and fast.

Secondly we don't allow strops at the chalet school. I assume you had a silly mother who didn't teach you proper control from the cradle. You can jolly well report to the prees room where MaryLou is waiting.

However my lamb you have been invited to English tea with Mrs Maynard who understand girls so she will sort you out.

I'm re-reading the Lintons just now, just got to the bit where no-one can even look at Thelka eating a bit of prosciutto. No Waitrose in them days, was there gels?

Well I'm back from Mrs Maynard's and I'm still none the wiser. She threw a load of feathers around the back garden, told me how big the mountains looked (like, yeah, well spotted) and then gave me a lime green twinset

I think you need to sneak the lime green twin set into the teachers' laundry bags. I'm sure it will run, and probably shrink too.

I never considered it might be prosciutto. I imagine a great thick slice of back or streaky bacon that might go in a sandwich.

Did she casually hand you a baby to cuddle Summer? That's usually the point where your hard shell softens and you begin to become a true Chaletian.

I slid down the bannisters and no-one noticed. Can't anyone see that it's a cry for help? Do I have to go out in the snow storm and get caught on a cliff so someone wrenches their back to save me?

I'll have to do my prep instead. That'll show em. Call me a naughty imp.

Summer and Joey my lambs your only hope is to
Pray you grow up to marry any doctors that will have you and dedicate your lives to making your homes pretty and your husband happy.

Be thrifty like the Swiss girls and done squander your husbands money on trifles.

A huge family would be good too.

That's because everyone was blaming me Joey. I mean, we don't even look alike. I'm delicately pretty and you're daintily pretty. And I have silvery curls and you have a mop of fair curls. And I have dancing eyes, and you have merry eyes. I can't think why people keep confusing us.

I don't even like trifle Happy, can I squander his money on doughnuts instead?

By the way, that lime green twin set is up on ebay if anyone's interested.

I hope you haven't described it as "exceptionally pretty Summer?

Years back I was on yahoo auctions and clicked on what the description said "Exceptionally pretty coat age 3-4years". Imagine my disappointment when in the detail it was clear that this was a rather worn lime green fleece jacket, which had clearly gone all bobbly the way fleece goes when you have washed it too much.

I may have written in the comments underneath "Have complained under the trade discriptions act"

Happy these trifles, are they strawberry or sherry? Makes a difference.

Summer I know. Everything I do, you get the blame for! I can't work it out either. I do have a golden voice though. Maybe that's it.

Lime green twin set? I must have that. Will go well with the flame & brown. Or are we in gentian blue at the moment? I really don't know.

Your just whining now chicabiddies, havnt you been taught to argue from cause and effect?

And you know I am the pick of the basket with apple blossom colouring, bronzy curls and blue eyes!

I will keep myself nice and tidy for my doctor thank you. Of course I will start a silly career but as soon as I am engaged I will stay at home with mamma and practise keeping house and filling my hope chest.

Joey my lamb the trifles are most definatly strawberry or of course one of Karens special concoctions all spun sugar and cream.

I wonder if there would have been an obesity epidemic at the chalet school?

Ooh one of Karen's special concoctions. Ten Zillion calories but we all stay as slim as a slim thing until obviously, the reunion when we can point out how fat everyone else has gotten.

Oh but I have angelic loveliness. I win!

I'll accompany you on the piano while you sing Red Sarafan then Robin!

But I am really Wanda and everyone knows she was the ultimate chalet school beauty!

joey my love do you recall telling Frieda she looked like a scarecrow with lots of lines in her face? Her child had been very ill I know but obviously you had trouble with Margot and Charles and still looked slim and girlish.

Had she let herself... Go!

Of course I do. I remember every bitchy comment that I ever made.

I didn't realise Wanda had bronzy curls, I thought you were Sybil Happy
