They see us coming… (apparently)

I had a very funny email last night from my chum Maddy. She realised that our new puppy is annihilating my minimalist interior, and made me laugh so hard I feared that I slip a disk! She wrote:
“Life really boils down to 2 questions…
1. Should you get a dog…?
Or
2. Should you have children?
OHMYGOD! It is too late for us, we have both!!!
Despite the current frightful economic situation, I shall soon be forced to redecorate my entire home from top to toe (gasp), and having spent some time on the internet researching this morning, I am terrified of being taken advantage of (shudder)…
It appears that there is an offshoot of Dulwich in North London!!!
Perhaps we Dulwichmums are not really individuals afterall (sigh).
When our new puppy has been fully potty trained, and finished cutting his teeth on our designer upholstry, I shall order a skip – Kelly Hoppen is incredibly last year. In line with my new Recessionista ideals, I can no longer afford to make expensive mistakes, so I shall engage the services of a super interior designer. I shall arrange a Recessionista make-over for my home and keep you all posted.

Darling, can I suggest a lovely young lady called Estoria Phillips-Forforth? She remodelled the house of David’s Big Boss to look like Hampton Court Palace circa Henry VIII….lots of bare floors, ancient looking wall coverings and great swathes of candles – if you leave a window open you are plunged into darkness but Mrs Big Boss is quite taken with that, she says she’s never had it better…..

Oh DM, what a delicious insult… calling Notting Hill North London. I would be check my Audi for key marks tomorrow morning if I were you – those Notting Hill types get everywhere…

Sweet Nunhead Mum Of One,
It sounds simply fabulous, but I am afraid that bare floors are out. In an effort to conserve energy I may be forced to fit deep carpets and solar panels. I have just the man in mind on speed dial…
Lovely Potty Mummy,
If it is not SE21, it is simply not Dulwich, and I am useless with an A to Z!

The good thing about a dog is that you can have someone pop it along to Battersea and they will always give it a home. Heaven only knows what one would do with those children – eBay perhaps?
House re-modeling is the perfect thing- keeps spirits up and the pound in circulation – so in these straightened times it might almost be seen as community service! t.x

I am more than concerned that your new drive to economise means that you will be visiting establishments such as B&Q, Focus, TK Max and Dear God – Woolworths to purchase the requisite materials for your home makeover. You must resist at all costs. Here’s a tip though to recoup some of the cost of purchasing the fur faced min poop making machine – insert a rolling pin up its posterior and use it as a paint roller. You and he will have endless hours of fun applying that new trendy shade of paint to your library walls whilst ensuring the strongest of bonding opportunities between you both. Using the puppy in this way will ensure that your children no longer act as mini-human paint rollers and with enormous fortune, you will be able to deny social services the delight of removing your paint covered children from your home and placing them into foster care.

Darling Kitschen Pink,
I agree, I must play my part to keep the economy moving!
Oh Menopausaloldbag,
I fear for your mental health dear heart – you harbour so much agression. Here, let me pour you a drink…
