    Hang on a minute, why should it be £60 per parent - what has the number of parents got to do with it? Per child, annoying but consistent, per day, expensive - but per parent?

    So a single parent family pays £60 fine, a child with two parents and it is £120? If a child has two parents who are separated and remarried, does that mean 4x£60 or are step parents not included ...

    PS - Don't know why I am getting cross as not planning on taking holiday in term time, but it is the principle!

    The thinking behind it is that both (resident) parents have a joint responsibility to ensure that their child attends school. Non resident parents or parents without parental responsibility wouldn't be fined.

    This isn't my opinion, I just happened to read the green paper on the changes to this legislation and the reasoning behind it was in there.

  • Evening everyone.
    Hope you are all ok. :)

    Been missing for a day and a bit as I've been up to my eyeballs in paint. The front room is finished now though and looks ruddy marvellous :D I went to b&q expecting to purchase something neutral and came home with a mustard yellow. :D it's only gone on one wall whilst the rest has been done a magnolia with a hint of nutmeg. Sound rank but looks fab :j I'm really happy with it but obviously I now need to purchase new cushions and a new lightshade etc. the hubby is less an impressed as I only brought new cushions a month ago. :rotfl:

    Off for a mega catch up, apologies if I've missed annoying important. X

  • Weird thing:

    Managed to print off 2 apgs from today

    85p via the non working Bombay receipt
    4.85 via dove

    but have tried a number of times to print off 2 receipts from August and it keeps on telling me I have used my quota for the month. Tried last month and then waited till this month. Nada. Don't want to loose them as one is for £8.??.

    Did go incognito.

    Away to have supper now but any help/advice appreciated. xx
