Grin

She has just sent out a group email to 100 parents/the head, of the last AGM minutes. Then obviously wanted to bitch to one other PTA mum about THE HEAD but... has copied in the 100 parents... AND THE HEAD.

My life is complete. I am practically purring in pleasure. Cannot WAIT for this afternoon in the playground. Grin

Shamelessly marking place Grin

northernlurker · 19/09/2013 22:15

I think she has to move her children to a new school. And grow a beard. AND fake her own death.

Wonderful thread though Grin

PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline · 19/09/2013 22:17

Fuck Shop is brilliant!

Dyking it up, not so much.

I'm going to be refreshing this thread tomorrow morning, but I think either her DH will be doing the school run or her DC will be off sick.

In honour of LDCgate, I'm listening to Smash It Up by the Damned.

(Actually, I put the album on because that fucking NOT SO New song by Macca had got stuck on an overly cheerful cycle in my head and it Had To Go)

HorryIsUpduffed · 19/09/2013 22:20

I find this particularly well timed as I've been pushing for a PTA meeting for ooh ages and today's HT's newsletter informs me it's next week on a school night Hmm and I just have to hope/pray I can go otherwise the Extremely Urgent Thing I need to get approved won't be and we'll lose out on possibly a hundred pounds.

Or, in old money, two and a half cake sales.

Anyway, I'm feeling far more chilled. At least our PTA aren't idiotic enough to send out abusive and borderline illegally discriminatory messages to half the school.

GiraffesAndButterflies · 19/09/2013 22:21

Marmalade, you do realise this thread is going to hit 1000 while we're all just waiting for your update from Vera. You better time it right and catch her tomorrow, don't let us down! Grin

LEMisdisappointed · 19/09/2013 22:22

Shameless marking of place for update

I wonder if she knows yet???

Is the head likely to have a sense of humour failure over this or will she take it on the chin?

Pennies · 19/09/2013 22:23

Blatantly marking my place - can't wait to see how this one pans out. This is pure gold!!

cocolepew · 19/09/2013 22:23

Oh my god I've just caught the update Shock Absolutely epic.

I'm cringing for LDC not really

cocolepew · 19/09/2013 22:24

Oops sorry.

LaundryFairy · 19/09/2013 22:30

Anyone else notice that, according to the hand MN moon watch, it is a full moon today? Perhaps LDC will plead good old-fashioned lunacy and get herself locked up in a suitable institution. Then everyone can go and visit her in her padded cell and bring her cornflake cakes!

ArtisanLentilWeaver · 19/09/2013 22:32

Is this 'Punch Her Lemon Drizzle Cake" Vera? Grin

K8Middleton · 19/09/2013 22:35

That full moon will be handy. I bet Marm's already in position, loitering behind a privet hedge so she can just oh-so-casually pop out from behind it as Vera passes tomorrow.

Fancy bumping into you here! How are you feeling?

SauceForTheGander · 19/09/2013 22:38

Ohmygod I felt a bit sick reading that email. It's like a suburban horror. She needs to employ some shit hot PR crisis team who can release an apology and claim she was jet lagged and on medication and her one teeny glass of wine sent her nuts.

There's just no recovery from that.

dedado · 19/09/2013 22:44

It'd be funny if she tried her standby excuse "I was just being sarcastic, ha ha!" again.

The head must surely realise which people LDC intended to send it to. You know, the ones who aren't interlopers.

TobyLerone · 19/09/2013 22:47

I would honestly move house and change the kids' school. There is no way of styling this out. No way, no how.

Imagine that feeling she got, as she almost-simultaneously hit 'send' and realised what she'd done.

It is as delicious as her scrambled-egg lemon drizzle wasn't.

RandallPinkFloyd · 19/09/2013 22:48

Hec you're thinking exactly what I'm thinking.

It's one thing for LDC to think those things, (I mean dyking it up for crying out loud) but why is she so comfortable sharing those thoughts with her 'mates'.

They've been having a right cosy time slagging everyone off haven't they. You watch those 'mates' drop her like a hot brick now. They're going to throw her bitchy arse to the wolves without a backward glance.

Flatiron · 19/09/2013 22:49

I must, must, must know whether LDC puts in an appearance tomorrow! This is better than the Archers - an everyday story of PTA folk. Who knew? Certainly not me, never having been within a barge pole's length of a PTA!

Ruprekt · 19/09/2013 22:51

Dh says she has to move house and school. Smile

nocarsgo · 19/09/2013 22:55

Oh, this thread is delightful. The idea of a "crisis meeting" in the playground shelter at pick-up time is just excellent.

Wow. She sounds like a real piece of work. People like her always seem to slither their way out of even the most awkward situations, I really hope she gets what she deserves. Looking forward to tomorrow's update! Grin
