CY cant you suggest that untill the chairs come the sandwich children eat in one of the classrooms (with supervision) will save you lugging chairs back and forth.

It was discussed - but the cleaners would NOT be happy so it didn't happen!

The main problem is that the price of school dinners has gone up - and i think people are put off by this. We are lucky that we have 2 halls in the school ( old Victorian building - with classrooms opening off a central hall on 2 floors!). We have the packups in the lower hall and we are rapidly running out of space.

so happy cleaners but exhausted and badbacked dinner staff:mad:

just got distracted by sending some family history stuff to a relly of my DH, ive got his great grandfather and uncle back as far as WWI his great uncle died there but mil says he died on a boat explosion and ive found him listed on a memorial in france and and a war diary entry listing his name and service number as killed fighting in trenches near Lorgnies. her dad had a shouler injury and he insists he was on the same boat has his brother and recieved a medal for trying to save him, as far as i can make out her dad joined after his brother was killed and got the 3 medals all soldiers got for serving. i get curious but if mil think its heading down a route she doesnt want to know about she will stop looking. she was mortified when i found after months of searching andgetting nowwhere that her elder 7 siblings were illigitmate and had different dads and her mum didnt marry untill she had the last 3 children. oh how times change no one bats an eyelid at those sort of things now.

stragglers welcome!

Already well underway with what will be multiple HHI's today!

DD2 is getting really upset as one by one her mates leave for Uni and I don't really know what to say to her.

She knows I am proud that she has chosen the path she has and not gone to Uni when her heart isn't in it......

Some of her mates are doing gap years/the Art Foundation course at college - and i think one of the problems is that they are experiencing new things whereas DD2 is doing the same job as last year ( local after school club)....

mrs-moneypenny - you summed it up perfectly! There are only 2 of us to set up ( we get 15mins) and at the moments that's putting up 16 large tables and putting out 128 chairs ( the tables and chairs for reception are perm out in the hall).....

And this week is going very slowly! And I am cream crackered!

Boss has mentioned 2 sittings for packups, but that would mean that we wouldn't get out into the playground as we'd still be tidying up!

What we need is another staff member - but that ain't gonna happen due to budget problems...
