Question to DM

[clare]

What that you singing solo?

I was the one shouting "free Barnabus" very loudly.

[dulwichmum]

Dear Clare,

Yes it was me! My voice was breath taking don't you think? I like to consider myself to sound like a cross between Edith Piaf and Maria Callas.

I couldn't find a thing to wear that was appropriate - Fr O'Connor said I should dress modestly - so I was looking for something from last years Prada investment pieces in my wardrobe - this years metalic linnen is just a little too eye catching - don't you think?. In the end I found a Joseph chocolate brown shift dress at the back of the wardrobe - but you could see my hair shirt sticking out above my low cut neck line. I hope no-one was offended.

I found your empassioned plea to 'free Barnabus' particularly moving!

[dulwichmum]

Darling Mr Keef,

A wimple is a nuns traditional head accessory, none of your namby pamby half hearted head scarfs.

Have a happy easter DM. You deverve it for hitting all those high notes! I was exhausted and parched after Oh sacred head ill used (great lyrics though). Mum and I had to go home for a small glass of sherry. (walked past Dr Boo on way home, Mum sighs "Oh what drab dresses")

Off to France this morning. Everyone asleep still. Peace at last....

Au revoir!

[dulwichmum]

Dear Clare,

I so envy you! Be sure to stock up on Aubade underwear and Decleor, and don't forget to bring your own soft toilet paper (Nouvelle Recycled of course - I got the tip on here actually, a complete revelation!) - that country is barbaric when it comes to facilities.

Mother Superior,

DM

Bumbalina's gone nuts about Decleor

[dulwichmum]

Dear Mr Huguenot,

Please tell sweet Bumbalina that the only time to buy the cleansing milk and toner is in the January sales when Peter Jones and John Lewis counters sell 400 ml bottles for the same price as 250 ml bottles. 3 should last a year! Otherwise a trip to France is a must.

Bumbalina is right to go crazy about it, it really Decleor is fab!

[bumbalina]

Glad to see that I am not the only one that appreciates Decleor. I do absolutely LOVE the stuff. I became a convert when staying in an obscure (and fairly soulless) hotel in Leistershire for work. To kill time, I decided to pamper myself in the uninspired onsite spa. Imaine my surprise when I was introduced to this fabulous product. I bought it all - Creams, Gels and Oils. I AM addicted.

Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately, I will not be able to take advantage of this great deal as I'm being whisked off to sunny Singapore by Huguenot after our honeymoon this summer. I plan to dedicate a good portion of my time sourcing this fantastic product there.

[dulwichmum]

Wow Bumbalina!

I didn't realise you were about to be married. How wonderful!

What a wonderful location for a honeymoon too! Tell Huguenot to watch out in Singapore, James has told me a dreadful story about a work colleague and a chick boy in that exact location!

Have you ever read Martha Stewart Weddings magazine? It is just fab. I have just passed the current issue on to a friend - otherwise I would scan you in a few pages and mail them to you.

Promise me you will try to take a look at it before the big day? They sell it in Victoria in WH Smith.

[Huguenot]

Ah, thanks DM! You'd love the venue too, it's La Preghiera in Umbria.

We thought about Tuscany, but it's so, you know, last year. ;-)

The honeymoon's in South Africa - we're going on Safari and then for a few glamour days on the Cape.

Singapore's going to be home. The attraction of the lady boys was incredibly strong!

[bumbalina]

I have never had a read - but will be on the look out for it. More or less, everything is done - thank goodness for wedding planners that speak Italian!

[dulwichmum]

Darling Bumbalina,

Huguenot is clearly quite the catch!

Perhaps I should arrange to meet up with you in the manner of an older sister, in order to inform you all about men and their 'urges' - I would hate you to be sensitised so far from home. They really can be filthy beasts - if you get a good one!

James' aunt Shiela lent me a book when we were engaged (just for a laugh) it was published in the 1920's and called something like "The hygiene of married life". It advised all grooms to bring their bride somewhere with a great view for the honeymoon - "in order to take the poor girls mind off nocturnal persuits!"

[spymum]

Happy Easter Kathryn, dulwichmum, clare and all those who 'gave up' for Lent! Hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday, with Bucks Fizz, wine and chocolate!

[dulwichmum]

Thanks Spymum,

I am about to crack open a bottle actually!

Full of chocolate - all is well.

DM

[mockney piers]

Cheers DM. Enjoy the bubbles.

I'm off to the George as England actually seem to be threatening a decent go at the aussies!! :)

[dulwichmum]

Hi there Mr Mockney,

Is that Rugby or Cricket? Do you know, last week when Ireland won the cricket - I thought that James was just making fun of me!

I hope you are having a good day, happy Easter Mr Mockney Piers. All is well in South East London, our Lenten fasting is no more.

[batdog]

Hey D-Mum,

Are you exhausted after all this very long lent ?

But I am sure your figure must be looking even "fitter" & "sensuous". Hope you don't spoil it today with tonns of chocolate... >:D<

[dulwichmum]

Mr Batdog! Darling!

Where have you been? I feel abandoned by you. You don't love us anymore on the forum! Hearing from you has been better than alcohol or chocolate - and yes sweetie, I am in superb condition at the moment!

DM xxx

[Keef]

DM, Mockney was indeed talking of cricket, and alas England threw it all away as usual! :-(

[dulwichmum]

Thank you Mr Keef, I can rely on you to keep me up to speed.

[batdog]

Dear D-Mum,

I haven't forgotten anyone. You know I am usually away most of the year and occasionally return to London.

But you are such a "seducing" charmer and I am delighted to read that you are still in superb conditions despite the "Easter" temptations :)).

Please indulge yourself....

[dulwichmum]

Mr Batdog,

What can I say? You are so elusive!

DM

[Michael Palaeologus]

Mr Batdog - this really is too bad of you! You flit back and send DM into all of pother, when you know that you will be disappearing again, leaving her bereft and calling out to you in the wilderness.

Its those of us that remain that have to hand out the hankies and apply the smelling salts

[dulwichmum]

Dear Mr Mikewbate!

You are so warm and sensitive!

Do pass the tissues (sniff), Mr Batdog has (as I said before) "abandoned me like an old shoe", and treated my affections for him like a mere trifle (Birds).

Abandoned again, I could turn to you for affection - if you would just end your subscription to Razzle...

[batdog]

Dear D-Mum,

In my remote caribbean retreat I do not have modern technology and I am not intended to have it ( I respect the environment and I am not intended to spoil the beauty of the surroundings ). But there is always a place for you, and you know you are always welcome for as long as you want...;-)
