    Pay attention, school! I regret to have to inform you that the school crown, which we award every week to the pupil who has achieved the most, is missing. We have a thief in our midst. Head Teacher marmite says it was last seen under Hubert's bed earlier on today. The perpetrator is somewhere in this hall. You have one hour in which to return the crown to the Head's study, and we will say no more about it. If it is not returned then a major search will be carried out of all the dormitories and the culprit will be severely punished. Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of said crown is invited to post it anonymously in this box, which I will leave on fhe hall table. Knitwitch, you'll just have to knit your own crown for now.

    This is most upsetting! :eek::eek:

    It seems that I must take drastic action:if the crown is not returned in one hour,as my wonderful Assistant Head Ms Nargleblast has indicated...there'll be no spotted !!!!!! and custard for tonight's tea!And let that be a lesson to you all. :mad:

    I believe that Knit Witch is still battling ahead making Igor's second pair of (emergency) longjohns.Apparently someone had turned the pattern upside down and poor Knit Witch literally ended up tied up in knots.In other words,the crown will have to wait!

    Ok,I think I need a mega dose of Valium now. :(

    PS nargle WD on getting bthe BM out. :j

    Right, Head Teacher marmite, let's have a look at all the anonymous tip-offs we have collected from the box on the hall table......"please miss, it woz Igor..." "I saw matron kerri trying it on with her new pole dance outfit..." "Nargleblast dun it" (an outrageous lie, how very dare you!) "perhaps the fairies took it?" "It was the head, she was spaced out on Valium and thought she was Tinkerbell" (well, head teacher, I really don't know what to say.....)....let's look at some more....oh, Hubert, not now, me and the head are busy....and take that stupid crown off your head, it doesn't suit you......crown? CROWN????

    Hubert! You little tea-leaf you! What are you doing with the school crown?

    Igor! Fetch the ropes and the cane! Thirty lashes for stealing the crown...and another thirty for wearing it with pink sparkly stilettos, they are so last season........

  • Oh no! No NSD for me today. I was very good and took a packed lunch to work but I became hungry mid afternoon and I had to go out and buy something to eat.

    Tomorrow I'm going out for the evening so it will not be a NSD tomorrow either.
