Vanilla has given me the great honour of starting the TENTH thread that absolutely no-one responds to. No-one at all. We have not racked up 9,000 previous posts talking about absolutely nothing.

Along the way we've become great friends. Newcomers are always welcome. So pull up a chair and join us in our mn version of Central Perk Café. We share jokes and memes, random facts and thoughts, our highs and lows, we are the card carrying lifelong members of The Union of different kinds.

So whether your life is perfection or;
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
(If) it's like you're always stuck in second gear
(Whether) it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year,

We'll be here for you.

There's
Vanilla who brought us altogether
Toad & Jet who are our meme champions
Better who is advisory
Portia who has a famous boyf Wink
AGL who is young
Jess who likes to flounce
Red who has red hair
Being who's always there
Noone who is on holiday
Legz who makes purple cakes and Mouse who makes lots of cakes
Cat, MrsTP and others who pop in when they can.
(Sorry to anyone I've forgotten)

Oh and I'm supposed to be starting blues clues but had no idea what that was so will do my homework and add them in soon.

I wish it was my garden! No that green is where all the kids play, the houses are terraced and those trees are dying.

They're drinking my tea. I made the boys take it down to them Grin

Bloody fucking twatty Bing gives me the rage!

The banning of the Burkini in France has made me beyond angry! You can never force anyone to remove their clothing unless it is for the purpose of a legitimate strip search and then it is done in a private place with same sex officers. Not on a beach by racist, sexist men carrying guns! No!

carb he's lovely, I want to give him a cuddle!

And still getting BadMoms....

carbcraver · 27/08/2016 10:22

He's very hairy Jess!

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 27/08/2016 10:29

I don't mind, carb - look at his dear old face! Give him a tummy rub from me.

Bettercallsaul1 · 27/08/2016 10:57

He is a lovely-looking dog, Red - he looks very sweet and affectionate.

VanillaSugar · 27/08/2016 11:06

I'M IN!!!!!!! The kind organisers let me into the competition!! BUT. ... the neighbour who said I couldn't enter kicked off completely and made a huge scene. And then made another scene outside my front door in front of my husband - I've created Cakeaggeddon. I want back to the tent to display my wares and there was another woman screeching at her husband because he wasn't arranging her strawberries properly .... ffckkkkkk. Village life Confused

No wonder I'm a Townie by inclination ConfusedShockHmmConfused

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 27/08/2016 11:13

Vanilla. That post made me roar with laughter! You really should be writing a novel about all of it. Am slightly disappointed at about you getting accepted - I had plans for that cake.

carbcraver · 27/08/2016 11:29

Very Agatha Raisin Vanilla!!!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 27/08/2016 11:36

Oh the cake drama! Grin

RedOnHerHedd · 27/08/2016 11:45

Loving the cake drama! I hope you win! PLEEEEEASE film the neighbour's reaction!!!!

PortiaCastis · 27/08/2016 11:48

Morning,
Vanilla dispatch a family member to the supermarket to find stale SCONS and manky strawberries and out of date cream. Any villager moaning and making a bloody fuss could then be SCONED SCONED SCONED ko'd and you will win the prize of 80p.

I have decided to stay in bed. Back later!

VanillaSugar · 27/08/2016 11:56

Hopefully the hotel's WiFi will stretch to the marquee so I can live tweet. Ok. What do I wear? Full Agatha Raisin complete with red stilettos (it's a muddy field) or full Kate Middleton country look?

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 27/08/2016 12:12

This is so exciting! I'd go for Hunters and a very low-cut, short frock. Forget Trinny & Susannah's legsor boobs thing - you're in it to win it!

Bettercallsaul1 · 27/08/2016 12:35

Cakegate! Hooray! Our very own Jilly Cooper novelette!

Bettercallsaul1 · 27/08/2016 12:37

I second Jess's sartorial advice! Do you happen to have long(ish) blonde hair, Vanilla? To complete the look!

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 27/08/2016 12:47

better. Am sitting on hands so as not to suggest a fascinator (I'm obsessed/fascinated by them)

I've gone for a silky top, Capri trousers and bangles.

But FML I DIDN'T WIN!!!!!! Huh???? Not even first or second prize. I came 4th out of 4 entries and a plain chocolate load cake won. Angry

VanillaSugar · 27/08/2016 13:40

Loaf! !

AverageGayLad · 27/08/2016 13:48

Did the judge know crazy neighbour?

PortiaCastis · 27/08/2016 13:52

Judge is having an illicit affair with the winner. Tis a fix.
Vanilla wins Star for her

VanillaSugar · 27/08/2016 13:55

The crazy neighbour is on the committee.

However, my children swept up the prizes: the boy got First for his Lego entry (he was the only entrant) and First for a bit of art which he did at school - again, I suspect his was the only entry.

And fair play to the girl who won Second Prize for her cupcakes!!!!!!
