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

Has anyone seen LDC since the event? Or has the Head buried her in Forest School?

MarmaladeTwatkins · 23/09/2013 09:58

A pig race?

I bloody loved it cringed for the Admin of our Schools Group Who kept whinging he had a spy amongst the Group. Said Admin got hauled in and made to announce they would be closing it at x time. Then we all got the letters about the dangers of being a twat on social networking sites. Coupled with the explanations of Publishing and Libel Grin I mean are they really people out there daft enough to think that there will be no one watching out for such facebookthings?! Urgh at the Yummy Mummy title though. Cliquey much?

MarmaladeTwatkins · 23/09/2013 09:59

No. No LDC sightings have been reported since "the incident".

Yummy Mummy??? This thread is the gift that just keeps giving! Grin

PomCareBear · 23/09/2013 10:00

Maybe you need to be more orange coloured and squeal more?

LilRedWG · 23/09/2013 10:01

Check the veggie patch!

CatAmongThePigeons · 23/09/2013 10:02

Yes, a pig race! The PTA are usually good, but I think they've really done a number on themselves. We don't have LDC sorts here! Grin

LilRedWG · 23/09/2013 10:09

I've reported it Dam.

Dam58 · 23/09/2013 10:09

Have you seen Vera?

MarmaladeTwatkins · 23/09/2013 10:10

O RLY???

You can earn $75 AN HOUR? From a job that you found by clicking on a spam link? I MUST look at this.
Said no person ever.

SURELY there must be someone else on here who is a parent or teacher at Marmalade's dcs' school and can offer another perspective. In particular I would like to hear from:

the head
Anyone close to the head
Yummy Mummies, active
Postulant Yummy Mummies, rejected (aka "interlopers")

and of course, the real big game:

LDC

(I would die of joy if LDC came on and started justifying herself)

(In her absence, I would just be utterly ecstatic if a YM could come on and talk about her admission to the cult, the hazing, the brainwashing, the initiation, the eventual stockholm syndrome, and now the attempts to rehabilitate oneself into normal life, staggering into the daylight blinking, etc)

justmuddlingthroughit · 23/09/2013 10:27

Are we sure that the yummy mummy group is definitely the nest of vipers?

ThisIsBULLSHIT · 23/09/2013 10:27

Cos you are a MILF instead Grin Hmm

Is that an acceptable term on MN?!

BabylonReturns · 23/09/2013 10:36

Marmalade is there any chance you could bring your DCs home for lunch today, with said letter??

The suspense is killing me!!!

FWIW, your PTA sounds very much like our PTA, and I find it all a bit hilarious tbh.

You see the PTA huddles and cliques on the playground at drop off and pick up. They are obviously bitching about people with the sideways looks and sniggers and they can't deign themselves to speak to any lesser parent, UNTIL it's time for Xmas fare, summer fare etc etc, and then it's begging letters and lots of fake friendliness and joviality on the playground as they need donations for stalls and lots of helpers to help them pull it off.

I can't deny they are successful, they raised over £10k last year, but do they have to be so bloody cliquey???

BurberryQ · 23/09/2013 10:42

well i always suspected that PTA types were a vile clique but put it down to my natural paranoia......
ha! just because you are paranoid doesnt mean they are not out to get you!

HorryIsUpduffed · 23/09/2013 10:46

There's been loads of spam everywhere over the last couple of days Hmm

On the other hand, it's keeping MNHQ busy, so we mustn't grumble.

BlueSkySunnyDay · 23/09/2013 10:54

Ha ha - I remembered the lemon drizzle thread, in fact I think about it every time I make one.

I think its always wisest, if you have to bitch, not to do it in writing - apart from the dangers of either sending to the wrong person or pressing the "reply to all" button there is always the possibility that your musings could be forwarded.

I thing Very should be wearing a "Dyking it up.....NOT" T-shirt

WhatchaMaCalllit · 23/09/2013 11:05

Marmalade Yooohooo! You will probably have to set up a third thread for the fall out from the note this afternoon, right???
(really looking forward to this afternoon now)

SavoyCabbage · 23/09/2013 11:35

It's Monday night for me so I am going to have to wait till bloody Tuesday for the press release.

Really the head should have considered the world time zones.

ParvatiTheWitch · 23/09/2013 12:00

It's cakeing off, Pru.

DropYourSword · 23/09/2013 12:13

We must be in similar areas Cabbage!
If OP lived here, we'd have had an update already!!
