...to really, really hate Sally, Mum of Spot?

She's so nice. And so calm. And she never shrieks like a harpy at Spot's insanely irritating behaviour lovable antics.

Today's story was about Sally cheerily helping Spot bake a cake for his Dad's birthday. Spot trashes the kitchen, drips chocolate cake batter all over the place, wastes several eggs by breaking them on the worktop. Sally remains calm. I'd have been reaching for the gin.

she's got a kind of smug face too. silly old big-chin-sally.

MaureenMLove · 08/11/2007 20:26

Like your style. YANBU! I used to have the same dislike of that ragdoll fro, Playdays. Can't remember her name now, but she was always so bloody perfect and a know-it-all-too. Smug cow. I often wanted to take a torch to her.

Slubberdegullion · 08/11/2007 20:27

I reckon she's just out of it on those dog sedative tablets you give them when you put them on a plane, or bonfire night.

Hell the silly bitch (can use that without fear of mn admonishment) has not spotted the lion under the stairs or frickin hippo in the grand piano.

mintydixcharrington · 08/11/2007 20:27

have you noticed she has a TERRIBLE hairy chin problem?
she should pluck
she probably has PCOS (which explains why she's only ever had one puppy, despite being regularly mounted by spot's dad)

She deserves your pity, actually

MaureenMLove · 08/11/2007 20:27

Just remembered, but not in time to stop my finger pressing post! Peggy Patch!

StrawberryMartini · 08/11/2007 20:28

Where's the father for some disciplining?!

stripeymama · 08/11/2007 20:29

Oh dear, naughty Spot.

In my house it'd be more like what the buggery do you think you are doing and eggs dont grow on trees you know blah blah rant.

I'd say catnip but she's a dog, is there a doggy equivalent?

haychee · 08/11/2007 20:30

There is one that is called HELEN.

I HATE her!

Its my name, and my kids shriek with excitement and take the micky I think Helen is the hippo

Emzy5 · 08/11/2007 20:30

slubber, she obviously isn't cleaning properly.

TinyGang · 08/11/2007 20:37

Helen is highly annoying. So is Sally (I bet she's secretly swigging from the gin bottle though and is just p!$$£d enough to get through the day.)

But have you considered Maisey and the gang? Maisey Mouse and the crew used to get right up my hooter.

welliemum · 08/11/2007 20:39

Ha, I'm not the only one!

She's definitely sedated. "Go easy on the icing, Spot".

I love singing along to 64 zoo lane.

Maisy.. Maisy.. Maisy, Maisy mouse should be shot!

welliemum · 08/11/2007 20:43

Yes, I don't much care for any of Spot's lovable little chums, if it comes to that.

DH is also not enjoying the books and is threatening to read the dd's "Spot goes to the vet".

what about chuffin Little Bear then?

tonight's episode has them both - Mother AND Father Bear - going round the house saying Good Night Toys/Curtains/Table etc etc

and laughing

whereas in this house it would be "It. Is. Bedtime , hurry upppppppppp put that down and GET UP THE STAIRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

marthaboo · 08/11/2007 20:46

She doesn't even lose her rag with Spot when he knocks the Christmas tree over on Christmas Eve. It's gin in that dog bowl, you know.

TinyGang · 08/11/2007 20:47

64 Zoo Lane was classy - no problem with them.

Maisy (I'll spell it correctly this time!) and especially Eddie the Irritating Elephant..no no no! Go and blow you trunk elsewhere. And I remember one where her friend the monkey got into difficulties in the toilet. The mind boggles.

bumpybecky · 08/11/2007 20:52

I've been told Maisy is a still firmly in the cloest lesbian. It's the dungarees that give it away apparently. That and sharing a bath with Tallulah the chick.....

Emzy5 · 08/11/2007 20:53

the worst thing about maisy mouse was that crocodile (name escapes me). he has the most ridiculous voice in the televised version.

Emzy5 · 08/11/2007 20:53

everyone know tallulah is a bit fruity too

stripeymama · 08/11/2007 20:54

Aaahh you mean Charlie?

bumpybecky · 08/11/2007 20:54

that would be 'in the closet' not cloest

clearly too much gin in my water bowl too!

Slubberdegullion · 08/11/2007 20:54

wellie, spot is a classic PFB. Oh how they indulge the little sod. We have (within the spot collection) Spot goes on holiday. You should see what they buy him. boat, rubber ring, hat, spade, whirlimagigy.

mintydixcharrington · 08/11/2007 20:54

charlie
(the crocodile)

I won't hear a word said against Maisy
We LURVE her in this house

Emzy5 · 08/11/2007 20:56

i have no problem with maisy, just the circles that she moves in.

Slubberdegullion · 08/11/2007 20:57

I have my suspicions about Charlie to be honest. There is just something not quite right about him.

Does Maisy wear pants in the bath? I think she does. Also odd.
