I'm glad your DD fared better than this unfortunate lady who was in all the papers. Poor girl!

I reckon the other mums let Diana win, though she was very sporty and tall.

I missed that bit of news - was that a thong she was wearing?? 😱

Ambre Solaire fake tan? 🤔
As the very pasty daughter of a red head, I have 80s horror stories

Well done to your daughter Witzend I hope she got a prize!

Well done to your DD!

Thankfully they didn't have a Grannies' race at DGD's sports Day.
Nor a Mums' race nor Teachers' race come to think of it.

I might have had a go at an egg and spoon - about my limit - if they’d ever had one.
Dh did once win the dads’ swimming race though - he still had a nifty front crawl then.

I still live on the glory of when us Mums beat the year 6 Netball Team. Who had won all the local matches/league & trophies that year.

We had to play in the position our DD’s did, we beat them soundly.

You rotten lot! Poor kids. Bet you rubbed it in too. wink

GBags you’ve reminded me of this
(Wasn’t she absolutely beautiful?)

Well done!

I was very proud of myself when I kicked off my stilettos and won the Mum's flat race! (40 years ago I hasten to add!!)

Dd won the egg and spoon race at Gds’ school sports day!
