(14 days later)
Well, SO ironic, now school is back & people actually have time for air strikes we're all like, is it too late to volunteer for the bake sale? I mean Mummy is right, NEVER go to war in August, anyone who is not away is in Peter Jones buying blazers, but the loyalty was like SO phenomenally humbling as in Emily left Bikram early & Mummy postponed her blow-dry & I was straight off the beach & Sarah Govey literally cancelled a full body exfoliation for the recall? I was like srsly, wait, why should your skin tone suffer, she's like, dulce et decorum does not come CLOSE, & Dave said wives being there defo made everyone think, we had to shout DISGRACE if they were Tory appeasers, or Hitler-lover if they were Labour, or you totally fucking isolationist copper bottomed shit if we were not sure which, Miliband's face was a picture :)Well, SO ironic, now school is back & people actually have time for air strikes we're all like, is it too late to volunteer for the bake sale?

So Dave was like God sorry babes, to think we could still be in Cornwall, or Jura or Ibiza or Provence, even Chequers can be OK this time of year, I'm like man up babes, Syriana needs our help, Sarah is going to break Justine Greening's legs, and Emily has banned Wollaston from buying Vogue, plus Govey has this plan that will bring Miliband's fascist army to its knees?So Dave was like God sorry babes, to think we could still be in Cornwall, or Jura or Ibiza or Provence, even Chequers can be OK this time of year, I'm like man up babes, Syriana needs our help, Sarah is going to break Justine Greening's legs, and Emily has banned Wollaston from buying Vogue, plus Govey has this plan that will bring Miliband's fascist army to its knees?
So Mummy called the White Company for a pillow, and now we are the Order of the Pink Feather, I mean Govey says white is traditional but Emily was like hello, this season is ALL about pink & not just coats, so Sarah was like excuse me, would not yellow feathers symbolise Putin-pleasing cowardice, by jingo it made her so angry she would personally have marched to Africa & garrotted President Amstrad with her tights, except she had this lunch with Paul Dacre plus it is actually still bare leg weather?So Mummy called the White Company for a pillow, and now we are the Order of the Pink Feather, I mean Govey says white is traditional but Emily was like hello, this season is ALL about pink & not just coats, so Sarah was like excuse me, would not yellow feathers symbolise Putin-pleasing cowardice, by jingo it made her so angry she would personally have marched to Africa & garrotted President Amstrad with her tights, except she had this lunch with Paul Dacre plus it is actually still bare leg weather?
