    Oh my goodness - whatever next?

    I think my response would be to give all the girls a pair of black socks and then teach them "Black socks"

    "black socks they never get dirty the longer you wear them the stronger they get. Some times I think I should was them but something inside me say no, no, not yet, not yet, not yet..."

    How absurd, I just don't know what to say, I'm stunned
    Only dull people are interesting at breakfast.

    Why do we do guiding?

    Don't ask me, I'm only a

    I'm glad it's not just me that thinks this is ridiculous. And yes, she appears to have kept the dirty socks a whole week in order to bring them back into the Guiders. I'll let you know how it pans out.

    This mother obviously has too much time on her hands.

    buy her a rabbit and tell her to have some fun as she's obviously lacking!!
    At the risk of waking up to find 40 little yellow stormtroopers with machetes and shotguns stood behind some very angry women with woggles, pliers and a blowtorch... ***?!!

    I have heard some absurdities but that takes the biscuit. I did a stall at the carnival the other weekend. One of the kids splashed icing all down my guide top. Maybe I should have taken it off and given it the parent - this is one of our Brownies who came to camp in a white coat with fur and an instruction not to get it dirty - said brownie left it on the floor just inside the tent!

    oh my god do they not realise half the time we are more covered than them. *or is that just me?*
    last week it was flour and shortbread mix, other weeks glitter glue felt tip, grass, mud, soil, dust.

    i would wait to see the letter before you answer. it's difficult to say without seeing that what it is exactly that she is complaining about.
    does she not do washing?? are they just dirtier than normal?? were they special socks?? has her washing machine broken?? does she not want her little darling to have any fun?? cant daughter wash them she after all made them dirty.
