Gien what’s the pick your own field? That sounds lovely. We have a heritage site that we can see from our bedroom (one of our reasons for choosing this house), that has so many interesting things-including wild gardens, and a lady’s heart buried on the site-but Ive never heard of one of them.

The farmer plants up a rows of flowers and you can go and pick what you want and put the money in a little box. At the moment there's only daffs and tulips but in summer there's a whole range of flowers to pick. Sometimes there's also veg which has been ready picked.


All is quiet here so I am off to bed.

Went to have cuppa and check emails, to find one from DD2's secondary school's only outfitter. Everything other than underwear MUST now come from there on pain of immediate exclusion/instigation of local authority truancy policies.

I'm fairly sure that this sort of thisng is no longer allowed :mad: Starting a thread on the Families Board will get the expert opinions

DH is nearly home :T

Sorry to quote myself (but JoJo has already read my previous post so may not see this as an edit) but this thread is currently top of the board

That'll be our Pen-Pen unavailable for the rest of the night then

I have flown so I need a

KITCHEN STAR PLEASE TOOTS

Oh, that might also be me if I get I get round to it....

Two articles written this evening for an online site I contribute to (should have done it at the weekend but forgot!)

Two phone calls decluttered. Bless 'em, I love 'em but they don't 'alf go on which is why I wait until I have an hour or so to spare before I call them.:o

I have a community meeting here at mine tomorrow afternoon. I'm hoping it'll only last an hour.

KH2 means n ob head number 2 (DD2's father).

It seems that this school is exempt from everything - perhaps because hairbands can be bought from anywhere, they think they're not being exclusive? Tights are not allowed - only the dodgy black stocking look will do for the headmaster. And the no coats rule is one I have encountered at other schools - not only is it easy to see which school a bunch of troublemakers are from, the fact that they are shivering and blue with the cold presumably means they are less likely to bunk off or hang around causing trouble after school.

I can forsee there being some discussions between myself and the school (poor DD2!).

My local authority stopped doing clothing grants in 2003.

JOJO That is unbelievable, how are people meant to afford that. I know we couldnt:eek: I was complaining about paying £13 for polo shirts, £20 for sweatshirts and £30 for a rugby shirt. We only have one place we can get it from as well.
It must be a story for the local paper, can you get some of the other parents to join forces with you?

I'm sure the headmaster looks good in the dodgy black stockings though:rotfl:

But I bet you would be even madder if they sanctioned overcoats. Just think of the cost of that extra garment!

I remember when I was in the third year of secondary school I had to be bought a winter uniform duffle coat. Mum bought it so I would grow into it. I never did and it was still too big three years later...

Kitchen S&S'd animals fed. Washing up put away. I'm in for an early night if I can
