It's all seems to be directly out of the great Diary of a Mummy Misfit book i.e. posh.
This was what I heard on a beach near to it recently when some boys were playing nearby with a football and it came hurtling in our / their direction - if you haven't guessed already:
'Hey! Mind the Mulberry!'
Cue screeches of horror from the assembled circle of same colour bleached blonde, suspiciously very tanned ladies, sat in a circle, supposedly relaxing and
It was no doubt uttered in jest, but, really, purleeze, do you have to?
Yet - here's the thing - some of the conversations overheard around the school gates where we presently hang around leave so much to be desired that they can be earth shattering - swearing at the kids and the taking it up the butt talk - only much less delicately put than that, followed by 'Well you 'ave to let 'em don't ya?'.
Who knows what goes on behind closed doors at the new place - and who cares, to be honest, but - if something is going to coming at you all on full volume - which would you rather you and your children be subjected to? And what kind of things do you hear?

Oh I so loved that book, I went on to immediately read the 2nd one, which if I remember rightly I enjoyed even more than the 1st which is rare with a sequel xxx
ReplyDeleteI am in agreement with you on both. I consider myself forewarned and forearmed!
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds fab. I had heard of it before. Honestly the pretentions of people ... the school gate ... something I'm not looking forward to ... take it all in your stride girl. I am certain you will have many amusing stories to report back.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right - probably plenty of Twitter / blogging material there! Thank you.
DeleteJust wrote a comment but it disappeared.
ReplyDeleteI was saying that the quote you just left me is beautiful and was much needed.
Many thanks,

My pleasure - it's hung up in my downstairs cloakroom and a constant reminder in times of need X
DeleteCan't be doing with the yummy mummies, there were quite a few at Amy's first school and I avoided them like the plague! And £895 for a handbag? Has the world gone mad?!!!
ReplyDeleteCJ x
Yes, the world is, indeed, mad, coz that's one of the cheaper ones! X
DeleteOMG! I buy my handbags from Clarks shoe shop and they're lovely. Plus I think a bit pricey at around £40. God, think I need to get out more!
DeleteI know the feeling!
