    Well morning all,

    Joe has got beavers tonight, hoping Joe has a resonable day as its the last day i can sign Joe up for camp. And i wont be signing him up if its a dreadful day. I have promised Joe a uniform though if he can get 10 stars before next wednesday - 2 a day rather than 3 ;)

    Usual spends on train fares, but obv an extra £3 for beavers, going to go for a run while he is there so thats handy :) Need to put more effort into the running though.

    Havent checked online banking, doh, should of done that before coming on here :rotfl:

    :mad: :confused: :mad: :confused:

    Joe did get a white slip today, he walked out class this morning :mad: But did come straight back when he realised what he did. Problem is Joe is on zero tolerence so he had to get a white slip. So even though he came back and apologised within minutes he got a slip, which is fair enough to be honest. He has been excellent all afternoon according to the report card.

    So question is, do i sign him up for the camp or not :confused:

    Oh this parenting lark in half confusing, what to do for the best. Im thinking book it and if he doesnt get his stars, stop him going then?

    The thing is i think longterm beavers could be a turning point for Joe.

    :confused::confused::confused:
