Good Morning

Sorry I didn't get here last night, was a really busy day at work and a very long one. After getting home and putting A & W to bed I had a nice long phone chat with a mate, caught up with Deal or No Deal and then flopped into bed.

Before I forget, what is the lego deal with the Mirror/Woolies? Can you send off for it with the vouchers. Father Christmas is very interested in getting lego for W but he wants the plain bricks not the specialised kits IYKWIM.

Toilet update ........... because of work I could only call the school or I would have removed the rolls from staff toilets! I did ring and demanded to speak to HT. The clerk asked if I wanted to discuss something W had done :mad: said 'no it is about yesterday's incident' 'oh' she said and got her to ring back. She was supposed to be in a meeting but when I said to ring before 9.30 as I would be busy after :rotfl: she rang with 2 minutes!

I asked her to explain what the incident was, apparently blocked urinals in both infant and junior toilets. Told me about the assembly and the fact that the caretaker h removed the paper. Told her that was not acceptable and how could a child as oung as 4 know that they did or did not need paper before they went. Said she was depriving them and it was there right ala lil_me's post to clean sanitation facilities Said I was not happy and am sure the HSE would not be happy either. Mentioned it is undermining my efforts to make sure W does wipe his bum EVERY time he needs a poo. She would not reinstate paper on Friday but said it would be back by Monday :mad: :mad: :mad: Asked if I wanted W to have some in his pocket just in case, said yes as that was the best I could achieve from work but said that was still wrong in my opinion.

They were doubled over laughing at me at work saying they wouldn't like to get on my wrong side :rotfl: so a minor victory but I wish it had been a non working day as it would have been more effective in person I feel.

I asked W last night if he had had a toilet paper given and he said 'yes but I didn't want toilet paper in my pocket' so whilst that is not the outcome I wanted at lesat they did give him some.
