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

I might just have to rejoin the pfa!

Boggle Boggle Boggle.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds, the thing is, she won't become a real human bean, because she doesn't see that she has done anything wrong, or different from anyone else. In the same way that everyone here has blown minds from realising how utterly pathetically and sincerely nasty she actually is inside, she would be very confused to see inside your head and would gaze around at the absence of bitchy resentment in the way a Victorian would dismally survey a modernist dining room. "but.... but... how do you live like this? Surely you don't live like this?"

I still plan to go through life thinking, every time someone is snotty to me, "oh I bet she is stressed and in a hurry and had no idea how that sounded". Because it is usually true, and because whether true or not is a nicer way to live. BUT a horrible part of me is secretly THRILLED to discover that some people are REAL LIVE DELIBERATE BITCHES. It is like a car crash of a reality TV show. It is like seeing a tiger in the wild.

We have a cake sale at dds new school next friday. Would the quickest way of finding out who the mn mums are be

1 make a lemon drizzle cake
2 make rice crispy cakes
3 rock up wearing an I punch cakes pinni?

notapizzaeater · 20/09/2013 15:19

Omg - I'd have sell the house and move, I mean people will be asking about it forever ...

stealthsquiggle · 20/09/2013 15:20

Interesting dilemma, Iknewhousework. How about crispy cakes with little notices saying "I am not an LDC" Grin?

ArbitraryUsername · 20/09/2013 15:24

Damefanny: the PTA could do the whole serious of seminars on Internet safety, homophobia, bullying etc and charge an attendance fee. Thus making money out of the debacle and further embarrassing LDC.

Dubjackeen · 20/09/2013 15:27

Uncharacteristic my arse.The easy way she emailed shows very clearly that both her and all those she THOUGHT she was emailing regularly, comfortably and happily bitch their arses off at every opportunity. Thelot of them.It is only that shes been exposed
there is no way on earth that she was emailing like that to people who werent well used to behaving like that.
my guess is the whole group of them get together all the time and laugh and sneer
Shes been shown for what she is. Its the rest of them that havent. Id be wanting to know who they were, tbh
theyll let her sink by herself, of course. They wil no doubt stick the boot in too. Expect to hear examples of previous terrible things shes said and how disgusted they were.If I am right, you owe me chocolate
Hecksy said exactly what I was thinking. She was well used to this bitching by email to her circle. Into which, of course, no interlopers were welcome. I agree she will be remembered alright, but not in the way she hopes. I feel sorry for her child. Apart from anything else, she has a lot of extra free time now on her hands to devote to him.
Marmalade, the school should get an effigy made of her, and charge a pound a throw for people to fling something at it. Well, obviously that can't happen, but I like the idea, as a fundraiser.

DameFanny · 20/09/2013 15:30

Heh heh heh Arbitrary Grin

Re cakes Iknewwork, how about doing a proper (not scrambled eggs) ldc, but putting a sign on saying "ideal for punching"?

WilsonFrickett · 20/09/2013 15:40

OMFG - this went to Classics so quickly I missed it Shock

So LDC has resigned. You know she has to have a Lemon Drizzle Cake and a 'Reply to All' embroidered pinny as leaving gifts, right?

BrandyAlexander · 20/09/2013 15:44

Wow. Just wow. Can't wait for the next update! God, I would be mortified. And on the phone to the estate agent.Shock

ZutAlorsDidier · 20/09/2013 15:45

She will be moving on to something else. She is the kind of person who needs to be bossing people about at all times. I pity the harmless, unsuspecting subjects of her next venture. She may be even worse now as this episode will have embittered her further.

PrimalLass · 20/09/2013 15:50

It will be front page of the Daily Mail next week.

I haven't read past page 5 yet but surely someone must have suggested selling the story to them to raise the funds for the PTA ...

ItsOkayItsJustMyBreath · 20/09/2013 15:52

Thank you so much for the update Twatters.

Shock

I shall write more when my brain has had a moment to process the last e-mail. Just Shock

PractialJoke · 20/09/2013 16:08

That original email must be libelous? Head and Vera should sue and(if they see fit) donate the damages. Then LDC woman can rightly say she was central to the raising of the play equipment money Grin

I agree with others someone who can write such an email is nasty on a regular basis and has a willing audience.

LegoAcupuncture · 20/09/2013 16:15

Shock the woman has no shame!

VenusDeWillendorf · 20/09/2013 16:17

Holy crap. That's libel.
Lemon drizzle can be sued.

I was right, she is a giant, grudge bearing loser.

She will provide much more entertainment before the year is out Grin

NicholasTeakozy · 20/09/2013 16:38

Holy fuck Marms, the woman has no shame! Shock :o

FairPhyllis · 20/09/2013 16:44

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the head at least sued for libel, because it is a professional reputation thing. You just can't have PTA officers going around casually accusing you of having an affair with a parent.

Obviously everyone knows LDC was talking out of her arse, but if I were the head I'd want to set a strong precedent that bitching me out in an email to your friends is absolutely not on if you're supposed to be working for the school. And I'd want to know if this reflected a more general culture of the PTA.

CeliaFate · 20/09/2013 16:53

Any update from after school pick up Marmalade?
