    dont feel bad thses day we are made to belive we will go to jail or have a hefty fine if we dont send kids in , i only kep my dd off if it major if its a sniffles i send her as kids get it all the time and teachers say to only if its major or doc say do tey stay off

    i need my time out lol :eek::o:rotfl:

    Yeah me too, I figure if the school thinks they're too ill to be there I'll soon know about it. I know they have to target their attendance figures (her school is in special measures and latest OFSTED report says no improvement) but I find it unfair that they're not allowed to say to specific parents to buck their ideas up and instead we all get the same generic letters (her school has started giving out letters on a Friday with a class attendance percentage on it).
    There's one lad in DDs class who daily rolls up at 5 or 10 minutes late and in 5 years nothing's been done about it. The school just mentions punctuality in a generic newsletter every so many weeks instead.

    Have Tesco improved their computer system lately?

    Was on a whoopsie run when I found some Jalapeno Potato croquettes reduced to 0.65p that were stickered '2 Pizzas & 2 Sides £6', thought I might get the full promo discount applied of about £5.50 if I bought 2 pizzas aswell.

    Bought the 2 pizzas for £3 each & the 2 sides for 65p each, total spend £7.30. Tescos till deducted £1.30 for the deal! Clever Tesco, no nearly free Pizza for me.

    Those of you wanting snow are very welcome to mine - thick snow up here in Aberdeen - just spent an hour clearing the drive - really heavy - won't need the gym today - sky looks very heavy so looks as if we have more to come - just great for my son - opened his restaurant on Saturday and customers can't get to him today!!!

    My dd's heading up to Aberdeen on Saturday for a week of winter hill climbing as part of her university course,!!!!! Thats going to be an interesting one for her if its snowing heavily there today.... rather her than me.....

    Both my babies are still in the vets, one had her op this morning and the other this afternoon..... God.... I hate leaving animals in the vets..... :(

    Checked out the local small S's this morning, nothing exciting there... no roasting tins, no dirt cheap sale...

    Cjj Happy Birthday xxx
