Good morning class, here is today's starter.

No trickery intended, but if you wish to misinterpret, please share your ideas with us all. It makes for a more interesting thread.
After all, Miss MaryDoll is not perfect! Well actually I am! wink

For new classmates, this is meant to be a bit of fun, please join in and do not allow yourself to be led astray by certain unruly posters! grin

Well I’m here now chewy. Telling tales.?

And I’m going to be different. I think the answer is the two test tubes in a rack. So there. So to any who think I copy that’s showing you ?

You fibber Doodle! I called for you on the way to school but you ran off because you said that you was meeting Big Jim round the back of the bike shed and he'd got some Woodbines for you. Ner ner na ner ner! I wouldn't have split on you if you'd have let me come with you.

marydoll. It was me - my mum used to call me a sook when I tried to get into her good books. Also - don’t be a sookie-ma-toorie. Off to work out the magic squares.

Doodle Sat 18-Apr-20 12:38:26

Cor Miss I didn’t realise there would be school on Saturday.
Sorry. Can I eat my breakfast in class? ?

Pantglas2 Sat 18-Apr-20 12:16:47

Here I am Miss, late again but been to Tesco for some chookie eggs for you - nice brown free range ones ( not doing orgasmic stuff again - it got me into trouble)

The answer is 6 (cos everyone says it is) and we’re sposed to do Teamwork aren’t we?

Marydoll Sat 18-Apr-20 12:00:02

A sook, (as we call them in Glasgow) requested them.

By the way, those are the easy ones! wink

Ooh Callistemon you fibber! you said they were too hard. I thought that meant you wouldn't do them. You just want a cream egg!

It's Saturday Miss, magic squares are too hard

grandMattie Sat 18-Apr-20 11:11:19

I’m assured by DH that the answer is.... 6

Marydoll Sat 18-Apr-20 11:07:32

PS, no ?? in the Tesco delivery.
I may have to share my cream eggs!

Marydoll Sat 18-Apr-20 11:06:10

For those who asked for magic square puzzles, here are a couple of magic rectangles. Just in case the pedants are reading!
They distorted, when I tried to save them as a jpeg.

Write the numbers 1 to 9 in each of the squares below, so that each row, column and diagonal adds up to 15.

mary51 Sat 18-Apr-20 10:44:47

6, without looking at any others!

Emma49 Sat 18-Apr-20 10:38:31

6 Miss.

Callistemon Sat 18-Apr-20 10:37:26

It's 6 Miss

Are there plenty of ????? in your Tesco delivery?

Or can we have ????? because it's Saturday, please?

Chewbacca Sat 18-Apr-20 10:24:26

6.

Doodle is playing truant Miss; I've seen her round the back of the bike shed smoking cigarettes with the boys Miss. I'm definitely not a tell tale

trisher Sat 18-Apr-20 10:21:39

Sorry Miss I was listening honest!

trisher Sat 18-Apr-20 10:20:28

It's Saturday! No one told me we had to go to school on Saturdays! What happened to weekends? What happened to lie-ins?
It might be 6
It might be 996
It might be 86
Am I supposed to show my working out?

Marydoll Sat 18-Apr-20 10:18:42

Can we please just have the answer and no working for the moment, as it allows others to have a go? Thanks, class!

I’m going to have boiled egg and toast for breakfast Esspee.
Potato puffs were a break time snack all those years ago when I was at school ?

Sorry for talking in class Miss Marydoll ?
