Can you find what replaces the ??

Bathsheba Thu 23-Apr-20 15:10:30

No Pantglas, that's not what happened. Miss couldn't wake you up to ask you cos you were blind drunk in such a deep sleep. She told me she was secretly relieved actually wink

Bathsheba Thu 23-Apr-20 15:08:49

Thank you Doodle and Willa. Yes you can have Pantglas's coffee Doodle - make it VERY strong and black. I think she needs it today wink

Pantglas you're only in a tizzy cos you didn't think of taking over first. I did. So there. Ner ner ne ner ner. And you don't scare me with all your talk of ringing the inspectors, cos I know they are all working from home cos we're on lockdown, so they won't bother coming. <pokes tongue out at Pantglas>

And I know that second puzzle's too hard to do, haha. I did that deliberately. Here's another one that really is easier:

I have more than two animals at home. All of them are dogs, except for two. All of them are cats, except for two. All of them are hamsters, except for two. What kinds of animals and how many of each animal do I have?

Pantglas2 Thu 23-Apr-20 14:36:57

Well MISS Bathsheba I hope you’ve got all your bajs an diplomats ??‍?for bein a teecha cos I’m gonna ring the spection peeps to come and check on you.....so there! And I don’t like coffee, so double there!

willa45 Thu 23-Apr-20 14:33:53

Ohhhh, so you're Miss Sheba? I didn't recognize you Bathsheba....(no sooner someone gets put in charge, they change their face so no one will recognize them).

OK, Fine! For one day only! No worries Doodle, you're with me!

Bathsheba Thu 23-Apr-20 14:25:18

Well seeing as you are so good at triangles and circles Willa you can supervise Doodle. And I don't want to hear any arguing, is that clear?

Bathsheba Thu 23-Apr-20 14:24:04

And might I remind you Pantglas that I am Miss Sheba to you!

(oh my, this just gets better and better, it is SO much fun being being able to boss people about, hee hee!)

willa45 Thu 23-Apr-20 14:21:25

Almost on time today!

Welcome Miss Sheba (Wait! you don't look like a bearded 'snapdragon').

My answer is 14.

I live far away so I'm always late, even though I try to be here as early as I can. Squiffy, Doodle, Bathsheba, Gilly, Jennifer and Pantglas can vouch for that.

Oh, oh, Bathsheba needs help cutting the gateau....Here, I'm good with triangles and circles, so let me!

Bathsheba Thu 23-Apr-20 14:21:12

Pantglas stop worrying. They're not proper walnuts. They're just decorations made out of fondant icing. Sorry to disappoint you but there's no need to confiscate the cake. Nice try though wink

Bathsheba Thu 23-Apr-20 14:18:13

Gillybob I'm watching you! (Tee hee, I'm enjoying this!)

Right, here's another one for you to be getting on with. Something a bit simpler for those with a bit of a sore head. Hmm Pantglas?

(Actually it may not be simpler, it may be harder, hee hee!)

Bathsheba Thu 23-Apr-20 14:13:47

Has anyone noticed that today I can spell properly? I spent the WHOLE MORNING having a crash course in littra litter reading and writing so I could be almost like a proper teacher today. (I still get things wrong sumtimes though)

gillybob Thu 23-Apr-20 14:12:18

Hi Doodles I would love a slice of cake just as long as we are not made to drink a bottle of warm milk with it ….yuk

Considering Miss Sheba is a supply teacher I think we should play up until Miss Doll comes back …..

I'll start passing a note round shall I?

Bathsheba Thu 23-Apr-20 14:11:57

Doodle thank you for volunteering to slice the cake up. There is one condition attached to this very important role. The person who cuts the cake is not allowed to choose a slice until EVERYONE ELSE has taken a piece. I think that will ensure you cut it very carefully indeed wink.

And I shall be watching!

Pantglas2 Thu 23-Apr-20 14:11:20

Hmmmph! Not sure ? you shwd be bringin dat cake into Skool Bathsheba wot wiv ‘Nut Allergees’ eggsetera.

It mite infallidayt the Pubic Reliability Insiwrans so I probly wil ave to consume confiscate it for sayfte reesons, achiwally!

Doodle Thu 23-Apr-20 14:08:13

Oh squiffy I’m glad you’re here. Yes we must try and get the cake.

Hello gillybob we’re having cake later. Miss Sheba madeed it herself.

Squiffy Thu 23-Apr-20 14:04:41

I think it's 14 too.

I spose Pantglas is Cake Monitor, too. She monitors everything in the whole universe. Unless . . . . . we get there first Doodle!

gillybob Thu 23-Apr-20 14:03:47

Yes 14 here too Miss Sheba .

Are you a supply teacher Miss?

Pantglas2 Thu 23-Apr-20 14:02:48

I’m not posh Doodle but I am trying to himprove myself by reeding lots of ejucashunal books and fings ??????so wot I can be a teecha like Miss when I’ve got all my bajs wot I is clectin.

Doodle Thu 23-Apr-20 14:00:17

Me Miss I’ll do it . I’ll cut it proper not like pantglas she’ll just cut a massive bit for herself and we won’t get nufink. ?

Doodle Thu 23-Apr-20 13:58:38

Hello joy glad you can join us. Still haven’t got any sweeties yet ?

Bathsheba Thu 23-Apr-20 13:57:58

No sweeties Doodle, but I have baked a nice big coffee and walnut gateau. You can all have a piece at playtime this afternoon. IF you're good!

I need someone to volunteer to slice the cake up. Pantglas I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I won't be able to let you do this - I need someone sober sensible. The knife is VERY sharp!

Doodle Thu 23-Apr-20 13:57:53

? I loved the song too jennifer . Nice nickname to have ?
