I am trying to decide who to give my Most Entitled Child 2017 award to. it's a tough call this year, Lily was in the running but has redeemed herself by failing the first part of her driving test (really scriptwriters? Really? Super Lil? She of the glowing reports, millions of A star GCSEs, super organised Lily?)
Earlier in the year Kate had made a strong showing by stealing Jennifer's rugs and mirrors for the yurts, then disappointingly seemed to settle down to some semblance of work , but is now back in the picture after claiming that her yurting exploits equate to Adam sitting on a tractor from first light to midnight . Who knew that all this time she was gamely ploughing her meagre profits back into the family business - after paying out market rent and start up costs naturally. Of course her teeny tiny startup should entitle her to a larger share of the Home Farm dividend, and I think the cottage should be renovated, extended and handed to her wrapped up in ribbon.
Helen has taken a back seat this year, she has played her get out of jail card, won a decree absolute and got her hands firmly back in the family cheese pot and free child care system. enough for anyone,maybe next year Helen.
But once again, there really is only one contender. Ever fragrant Pip, who could scoop up handfuls of slurry , bung it in a jam jar with a wick and give Jo Malone a run for her money. In fact, now I have given the scriptwriters the idea she will probably do just that.
We know someone is going to be knocked over by the phantom speeder, please, please can it be Pip? not deaded, just mangled. it won't be for ever, she will be fully recovered in six months, I know that, but in the meantime it would make me a happy bun.
