it would appear schol have abducted DD3.. they are playing netball somewhere apparently they went on a bus.. but noone seems to know where and I haven't had a letter about it though yesterday DD3 said they were playing a netball tournament and the teacher was giving them a letter but she'd not got one yet and I said well you'll not be going anywhere then... and it appears they took her anyway..
I'd have a major tantrum if I had the energy.. as it is I said I'm not going out again to collect her so they can keep her while tomorrow or bring her home! if they decide to bring her back.. though if I don't hear from the school sharpish I'm ringing the police!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
