    Ouch Macpep. You really don't need a bill like that so close to Christmas.

    DH has a meeting with the bank today to regig our finances. DS2 wants to do a school trip to Singapore next summer and the cost is 2K:eek:. We will have to do some serious belt tightening if he is going to go.

    DS1 has reverted to his usual type. Huge confrontation last night. DH walked in at the end of it as I was walking out the door. I went and sat in tesco's car park to remove myself from the situation. I really thought he had turned a corner but I was obviously looking through rose tinted spectacles.

    WM on, DW emptied, Kitchen floor swept. Washing put on line.
  • why do school do trips like that?????? i know they are supposed to be brilliant learning experiences but we dont even spend that on our family holiday.
