Thank you daughter

Just found a note stuck on the screen. Can I buy some safety pins as she has to fasten her number on her vest for her PE exam this morning. Where am I going to find them out here before she goes to school at 9?. And would it have been too difficult to have told me when we went shopping in Norwich on Saturday?

    :rolleyes: how are they ever going to manage without us!

    Lend her a stapler- same job if no one else has any extra safety pins.;)

    My daughter does these things to me!

    Not sure where you are but do you have a local Spar?

    I'm sure school will lend a stapler if you don't have one :)

    Is it just me who finds the idea of using a safety pin for PE unsuitable? Especially so given the (perfectly reasonable) fuss teachers make about removing ear-rings for gym!
