to have forgotten what went with frangipan?

[Hullygully]

Skips prettily about the vast empty potentiality of the empty Hall and awaits.

The owl and the pussycat went to sea, in a green Frangipani boat

Sadly it rolled, it dipped and dissolved
And then it could no longer float.

They gasped and they swam for all they were worth
They scrabbled and flapped and miaowed
But of rescuers sadly it must be said, there remained a terrible dearth.

Welcome OldMac, I trust you sport a crinoline and enjoy a regular posset?

Brava, Hully, brava!

Welcome OldMac, I trust you sport a crinoline and enjoy a regular posset?

nary a one.

But a runcible spoon
now there's a thing

a runcible spoon

I have got the right hump.

Bonjour ladies! I am much a-wearied by the endeavour of endeavouring to summmarise my many decades of "skills and experience" on a tarnation job application form.

< willfully mixes languages, speech patterns and historical periods in a most ignorant manner >

May I tarry awhile in you fragrant (although if you smell of marzipan I way well hurl) presence?

What's up Hully?

Sette here for a while Jamie and rest from the form

Mercy Tiny - if I may call you so ...?

How goes it with you ? - how goes baby "Nigel", and is Patrick still in the running? Are you half the size of a house?

< goes into reverie as she remembers her own dear Clive and Derek kicking her in the bladder quickening in the womb >

apes in pants - for your amusement, and hully's

Clive and Derek, Jamie's beyoutiful boys

Apes in pants - fab!

Nigel is well and good thank God - only 6 weeks to go

I feel the size of 10 houses...people keep saying I won't go full term but we shall have to wait and see. I am glad it is a litle cooler today

I bloody love Derek and Clive.

Genius.

Hello lovelies. It's the dd, am v worried about her, all sorts of friendship difficulties and spite going on. She came home from school at lunch time yesterday with a "headache" because she just can't stand it. Basically her group of friends has split into two warring factions, she doesn't want to take a side, so both are excluding her. She is v unhappy. I am going to kill them.

I'm going to take the dog out now for a march over the hills and rampant murder fantasies. laters.

Jamie - I thought you worked in a playgroup?

yes, I did, but it was temporary (they needed someone more qualified than me in the long term - though I am sooooo over-qualified in other areas it's not true ...). Now applying for another post in a different one ...

Sorry about your dd. She sounds principled, which is a Good Thing. How long has it been going on? Killing them sounds good

Have to go out myself now. Catch up later

Her breath quickened as the prospect of violence came closer to reality. The dog sensed the anxiety and growled deep in its throat. A quieting hand laid upon his head hushed him, then their prey hove into sight
The warrior princess checked and readied her weapons, then with a SCREAM

Hully the warrior princess leapt from ambush and laid into her daughters tormentors with a deadly hocky stick

hockey.

If only.

Altho, I don't really want to do that, I want them all to love each other and be kind

Oh Hully, girls can be vicious and savage creatures and it's all done with a sweet smile

I really feel for you as I would be in bits. DD is a sensitive soul and takes much to heart already, I worry about school and she is not even there yet.

Let's hope this passes quickly and love fills the room once more as is so often the case with girls

Hope the walk helped my lovely x

Sadly I don't think it will as two of the girls in one faction (which has three girls in it), have a vested interest in keeping it going because they fear being isolated themselves. It's all v mad.

I am going to speak to a teacher. If it doesn't improve, dd can stay home if she prefers.

How old are they hully?

I must admit myself bemused by girls these days. Perhaps it is my advanced age, but i just don't remember the competitiveness that seems to be around (and i went to a Girls School).

Trouble is, when they do do it they are so subtle
Desperately want to be able to say something helpful - you ladies have helped me get my head straight in recent days .....

They are year 7, but they aren't very subtle! I feel so sorry for dd, she was crying last night and saying that no one liked her. I explained that it wasn't the case, it was that they wanted her to take sides, but it didn't really help...not much use when you're excluded.

I have spoken to some of the mums (we get on well) but they seem equally at a loss. Admittedly no one has spoken to the mum of the one I suspect to be the main agitator as she is nice, but very removed (which poss explains the girl's lack of empathy and friendliness)

Hate them hate them

Now I'm eating the sweets I hid from my dd. It's not good.

Do you think the school will help? i get the impression from our Local that they are pretty good with the younger ones - certainly when it comes to nipping bullying in the bud before they are all hard and grown up too much.

It's just such a sod that some DCs just can't seem to be NICE - they need to control others by negativity
