    They have to dress as if they are working in an office for the sixth form! My first born is off to uni this year too, and I am 40 in May, best start to act like a grown up I suppose :)

  • I drive past the school on my way to work, the sixth former's always look very smart and well presented.

    Noooooo, never grow up :rotfl:.

  • Can't beleive it is Friday already, another week has flown by.

    So whats been happening in the world of PWPS.

    Moneywise we are still plodding along, sold one item on ebay for £4.50 and £3 from mysurv£y into paypal.

    Currently have 6 items on ebay, 2 have bids. Hope that all the items sell the money would come in handy.

    Spends this week £20 on fuel, £27 for DS sports club fees and £4.40 on school lunches, really trying to keep spends to a minimum and only buy what is needed.

    DId a cupboard/freezer check last night and meal planned for the week, nipped to Mr T after work tonight and spent £29,40. not bad for a weeks shopping.

    Tomorrow I'm planning a cleaning and cooking day, I want to tidy kids rooms and see if they have any bits outgrown that I can ebay.
    Cooking I want to make a pasta bake, soup and cakes for packed lunches for the week.

    Hope everyone is ok and enjoy the weekend.

    Busy as ever I see PWPS...you're a marvel :)

    Those spends are pretty impressive. Well done.

    Have to say though get the kids to sort the stuff for Bay of E and maybe give them a share in the sales? Much less hassle. You could always sit down with a paper and a cup of tea whilst you supervise after all :rotfl:
