I am devastated. Even though I assumed it would be full of the same chavvy burgers all us Brits eat so many of, somehow they managed to squeeze in a day walking round the proper cultural mecca eating little French pastries and green beans, and she has come home looking so chic and positively skeletal! How will we ever be good enough for her again?

Did he buy her a few key pieces to compliment her capsule wardrobe? IMO it is not a proper holiday without buying a suitcase full of cheap looking tat.

You did weigh her before you allowed her to enter her home?

BitOfFun · 06/01/2010 12:16

She was wearing a cashmere sweater and a velvet skirt from Brora- I was gutted that she had completely spurned the shellsuit she got for chrstmas to be comfy on the plane in. She actually upbraided me for failing to pack her a pashmina

Of course I weighed her before she crossed the threshold- I could tell instantly that she had lost grammes and grammes...I can't have her humiliating our family like that. It will take days of fatty British stodge to get her back to normal, and frankly I simply don't know when she'll have time to eat now she's got a new X-box from us as an extra-curricular activity

BOF.... I feel your pain. THis is outrageous behaviour. Truly truly dreadful.

BOF - terrible, terrible man thinking he can swan off on holiday with his own daughter and have fun. Green beans galore - what was he thinking??

BitOfFun · 06/01/2010 12:30

It's going to be her that feels the consequences when she goes back to school though, mark my words. The other girls are going to slag her off no end if she doesn't have a muffintop over her jeggings, and then I'm sure she'll come crying to me, and I'll have to pick up the pieces

Cram the Easter Eggs in her BOF - they are all on the shelves already! Not the Creme Eggs though - they aren't calorific enough.

I know its bitchy but am PMSL at this thread

Congrats BOF! Oh and I recommend you get her back on a diet of Greggs Sausage rolls and McDonalds immediately. Should sort out the lack of muffin top within a week.

BOF, I think that you and another unnamed MNetter should do "Wifeswap" and we could broadcast it on MNTV.

Pikelit · 06/01/2010 13:24

Sacre Bleau! I hope it is lard sandwiches all round for the next couple of weeks. The shame must be devistaytting.

BitOfFun · 06/01/2010 13:49

Love the Wifeswap idea

I love the idea of some hefty chap smacking her on the arse, saying "I do like a bit of padding, how abouts I make you a big plate of egg and chips. Now you get your slippers on, Corrie's just about to start - I'll bring you a nice cuppa tea with an extra sugar..." Hyperventilation would ensue!

Not saying that is your DP though BOF!!!! I'd like to see it that's all
