gratefulforhelp's austerity measures

Stuff for the shower room sounds about right. Everything seems to cost so much nowadays, but better to spend that and not do again for ages than it needing doing again in 2-5 years.

Is is staffing levels again for Dd2s school? If you aren't happy, then don't leave her there. Things can easily go wrong if they are not properly supervised.

Thanks michelle. It is staffing problems, but of their own making. They have sent all the staff on the same course at once, and replaced them with girls of no more than 18 (more like 16) who may well have the relevant qualifications (though I doubt it) but my DD and I don't know them from Adam.

I brought her home, I agree, they are too precious to play fast and loose with.

you're right, a friend of mine took her daughter out of nursery when she pulled a cheval glass over onto herself - what was that even doing there??

cath if you are reading, i sent you another parcel.

the item i had a non paying bidder for on ebay has just sold for an extra £2.50...we will see if this one pays.

well after not laeving dd2 with pre-school on thurs because they had unknown subs in charge, the chairperson rang up and ranted on our answerphone that i had caused her loads of problems and the subs were really offended. I didn't speak to them except to say hello so i cant see how thats offensive.

also i think the chair is stalking me, i am walking the dog and keep looking round to see her driving slowly along behind me. honestly if i disappear for a few days you'll know the unhinged woman has got me!!

i also need to speak to someone in cafcass...so if anyone does that i have a quick question...

money wise, spent £2 parking at hosp for DD2 ENT, they were astoundingly breastfeeding-friendly, even offered me a drink. thumbs up to the "pilton hilton"!!!
