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....

Oh, what a splendiferous idea! I'll suggest to Tom that she ought to make a dolls' pub instead of another boring house. The competition can be to guess which charming Tirolean beer the pub has on draught.

Then we could do a paper-and-envelope game where they have to match the traitor to the crime: perfect opportunity to rake up the real dramas of the past, instead of cooking mishaps. "What price sneaking to the Nazis about secret tunnels on an obscure Scottish isle?"

Yes, who said something about hiding It in front of Herman the German? And left the corner of a very important document sticking out of her coat?

ROFL at the triplets as the Three Witches in Macbeth.

Oooh, so we're off to St Trinian's? What jolly japes we do have. Has everyone packed her sunsuit and spare bathing costume?

Have I missed any jolly japes? I got distracted by Joey telling me the best way to make jam and then she burnt it to the pan! So I'm guessing the rhubarb is Anna's handiwork! How about a nice bit of community singing? Perhaps Barry Manilow - Her name was Lola - that would fit with a Caribbean theme. Is she a new girl? She sounds a bit common to me (a bit like Joan Baker).

So is the next sale going to be on a Caribbean theme? What stalls should we have? Are the juniors going to dress up as fruit and do a lucky dip as usual? Maybe DeWee could make some of her lovely cakes for that. Robin would look good as a banana. Or we could use fake tan and turn them into a medley of oranges, tangerines, satsumas and clementines!

(Some of us really like endless descriptions of sales!)

Gosh I've just heard some amazing gossip from one of the maids whose cousin works at the Sonnalpe. Apparently Dr Jem has to go to Canada for a year and he has now decided that he wants Madame to go with him. Apparently he just suddenly changed his mind yesterday and is insisting that she can't stay behind on her own. .

Oh, and I heard matey say something to Miss Annersley about traitors and sinking ships, so I think we'll be having a pirate theme for the sale . It sounds simply thrilling.

Traitors and Sinking Ships is a brilliant Sale theme. We can make some trinkets to sell when we're in St Trinians, sounds like a lovely expedition for the school. Miss Annersley is a poppet to think of it!

Liking the idea of a dolls pub. Make it authentic and have "rooms above" to hire by the hour

I have a lime green twinset that I won in a raffle to donate as a prize.

Oh, that will be a much better guessing game! 'Guess who has hired each of the rooms, and for how long?' Tophole, Joey!

You can keep your bloody twinset though

Dolls pub?! Definitely a top hole idea! Is Joey making jigsaws of pints?

Joe is making jigsaws of pictures of snow and twin sets. The snow is causing her a lot of problems though as she keeps being carted off to the San.

Joe? Bloody woman had a sex change too!

I'm sure Tom's made an Olde English Tavern before though - we don't want to repeat ourselves...

Tom could make a Chalet of Ill-Repute

I think the middles have been working on some home brew too. Jolly good show.

Actually, forget I mentioned it. Apparently those policewomen turned up again and confiscated the lot. :(

How about using the chemmy lab and the equipment there to make a still?

Sounds fab Rob.

Those bloody pollicewomen. Do they still look like Rosalie Dene?

By the way, apparently Miss Stewart is getting married. Miss Annersley introduced her to a lovely doctor MacKenzie and simply insisted that they would be perfect together and must wed immediately. She also blackmailed suggested to Dr Jem that he find a post for Dr McKenzie in Australia so that they can start a new life together thousands of miles away on the other side of the world. Who would have thought Miss Annersley would be so romantic.
Miss Stewart seems totally overcome. Her eyes are red and swollen and I heard her say "What choice do I have. My life will be finished if I don't go through with this marriage". Oh, how romantic!

Pubs? Pints? Police? Stills in the lab? Has the chalet school been overrun by St Trinian's??????

Not sure what you mean hels71? We overheard Miss Annersley talking about a holiday at St Trinians and guessed it must be an island in the caribbean so, as a surprise, we are all going to join her there... but we weren't planning on an exchange trip so there are no St Trinian's here. Just us schoolgirls planning jolly japes whilst looking trim and trig.

Interesting thread on chat about Federer's double twins. Someone on there knows a woman with 2 X triplets and 1 X twins! Joey will be jealous.

Gosh no. Why would we invite a load of natives from St Trinian's to come and visit our school?
By the way I've been trying to find it on the atlas but no luck. It must be a very quiet, select kind of place, this St Trinian's.

Just our kind of place then Vintagejazz (although we aren't snobs, no not at all, even though we don't approve of Beatniks)

Oh gosh no, I'm not a snob Robin. I mean, obviously someone like Joan Baker is not our sort, but that's different from being snobby. I mean, I'm quite happy to get hammered share some cordial with her in the summerhouse. But obviously one wouldn't marry her brother or anything like that.

What if her brother happened to be a Doctor, that would be a different story surely? I mean look at Reg!

How could Joan Baker's brother by a doctor? She has a cheap perm and eats cake bought in a shop. Do be sensible Robin.

Oh dear, I really wasn't thinking was I? I'd better stop behaving like that otherwise I'll get a reputation for being moony or heedless.
