Silly moo - owe does she fink I can fit an 'at in me mouff. I know it's a bit big but..........(don't you lot dare answer that!!). Anyway, I picked up a bit of gossip while I were up the town. Mabe, me old mate, youv'e been sussed. I ran into me cousin Doris an she does a bit of cleanin fur a woman named Chrissie (what sort of names that fur a woman I arsk you). Well, do you remember them boards and freds that somebody was on about the uther day? I found out that our Mabe has been wastin ere time on em as well. She was making out as owe she goes to the theatre - as if!! Well, she thought she was incog....incogny.....wouldn't be recognised cause she was usin a pretend name. Callin erself Lynda she was (delusions of grandur or what!!). But then she forgot erself and put Mabel. So Mabe, now we all know what yer up to. Next time we all drop in fer tea and biscuits, we'll be lookin fur the dust, if youv'e bin wastin yer time on them freds. Well ducks - must fly - catch yer later. Luv as alas - Clara xx

'Er gals, take no notice of that Elsie, she's always tellin fibs, she ain't bin to no Rome, she'e just bin raoamin, saw 'er ol man earlier and 'e sed the've bin to soufend, for the day, she finks it forrin tho, so I spose it don't reely matter. D'ya reckon she bought us back anything tho, I like me stick of rock I do. I bashes it on the door in little pieces and it can last me a night if I ain't got me teef in. I'm just orf out now, gotta take some kids out down the park. I leave um when i get there tho an 'ave a cuppa an a slice of Gypsy tart, well they get on me nerves kids alsways asking ya qwestions an stuff. I say say to em, ask yer muvver when ya get 'ome, well bloomin kids nowadays don't know there born do they. Anyone coming down the park for a cuppa? See ya later. Mabe x x x

Sorry an all Doll but Mildred's rite abart them socks luv! Clara ah doan fink it was built at all. Looks like all the farnadayshions is still there. Rubble n stuff all over the place an the rest of it is only 'arf finished. Be nice when they've done it all tho eh? Elsie

Mornin Gals Ooh dear, I ope that Mildred aint bin misbeavin wiv Dolores fella - ther'll be trouble at the mill!! An as fer that Daisy - well - she reckons as owe she's bin abroad. She'll be tellin us next that she's seen where the Pope lives (she can't arf spin a tale). She says it was called Rome, well I'm not surprised the buildins was fallin down. Dora (ya know that uppity one from number 18) once told me that Rome wern't built in a day. So if it only took um two days to put it up, it probably didn't take it long to fall down either. I af ter tell yer all - I'm goin to be busy today. I ave the ouse to clean and tidy cause (guess what) I'm not goin to be outdone by Effie (lovely as she is) I'M AVIN VISITORS MESELF TONITE !! Catch up wiv yer all tomorra. Luv as alas - Clara x
