    kids and money saving :o

    DS2s teacher asked to speak to me when I picked him up. She rather uncomfortably explained that I 'still' hadn't paid £10 needed for an activity that he's been doing at school...a musical thing.
    I had no earthly idea what she was on about :o:o Im usually on the ball with any money needed for school stuff. She said she'd given him an initial letter and 2 reminders. I explained that Id not had any of them whilst he was stood there looking like an :A
    He finally admitted he'd deliberately put them in the bin because I am always telling him that we need to save money. So no letters means I won't have to pay, therefore he's saved us some money. Simple! And he thought I should be pleased with him :D:o:rotfl::rotfl:

    Quick. Check your email. I finally got accepted on BZZZ campaign after waiting for months and months.

    This 5 : 2 is not going to happen with me I don't think. I walked past a takeaway on my way home from work and I ended up with fast food in my hands and tummy! I tried my best but could not resist! :o
