    OMG, you are braver than me.

    When I go to see DS2 I used to wash the dishes.. it took hours!

    When they were in Halls, they had a cleaner. They used to buy her flowers/chocolates on a monthly basis as she was lovely to them.

    Now they are in private rented I do not wash or clean, but I did drop OH off to help him pack! Hilarious!!

    In this particular ouse the kitchen had 2 sinks and was about 18-20ft long and washing up was piled high:eek::eek:
    My hubby works at uni as a porter/dogs body:rotfl: and he says you wanna seee the mess of the rooms:eek::eek::eek:[/QUOTE]

    It did used to take me hours to wash... it was terrible, hence me giving up. The cleaner was worth her weight in gold.

    :o:o:o

    OH made a loveley Saturday night dinner of Chicken casserole

    2 diced chicken breasts - got a bag of 7 reduced in marks before Christmas - 92p
    chicken casserole mix from sainsburys, filler item for a £20 BM shop - 38p
    uncle Bens rice - free
    2 onions and a sliced carrot, filler items - about 45p
    green pepper found abandoned in the fridge
    sweet potatoes roasted and roast potatoes - from Christmas

    total about £2.50 if that - loads of meat, really enough for 2 adults and a child

    Yes its weird, we have rice and casserole and roasties together :T

    I like the way the thread is moving, everyone using up the left over bits and bobs, using whatever we have to hand and combining our knowledge base and spending more time in the kitchen rather than hanging around in supermarkets in the hope of glitches :rotfl:

    they do police then yes and pudding for lunches are daily cake n custard jelly icecream etc also the kids do get a choice to swop it for fruit but i would say 99%dont

    theirs plenty of parents who rebel by giving there kids chocolate spread sandwiches and all sorts the kids are allowed to eat the sandwich even if chocolate but arnt allowed to eat the crisps biscuits bad yogerts:p etc they are given fruit by the school same as if you give then bad drink school swap it for water or quash or fruit juice or milk,


    every parent meeting there a argument about it it get quite heated at times

    not helped by the awfull headteacher hes newish and is all about power n dosnt listen to the parents

    my dd class and the next clas havent got a coat peg or any thing(they hopefully will after the holiday ;)) it goes on the floor in school foyer :o:eek:(dd takes it to class since last one was riped apart and her lunch started going missing her fruit money was being stolen from her coat as well as half the classes shes 5 and it broke her heart that some one would take her money she was worried she had lost it :(

    Not wanting to argue but I have seen the sandwich kids just having chocolate in their sandwich box / bag .

    Also some parents don't check when they make sandwich that the bread or filling is fresh. I have seen green mouldy bread and the filling not going there :eek:. When this happens the kitchens I have been in have given the pupil a school dinner.

    Hot pudding is twice a week, jelly once, ice cream once, also they get cake or biscuits. Little pots filled with fresh fruit daily or can have an apple , banana or orange this is school I work in kitchen.

    Salad bar is on daily ,thats my first job making the salad :)

    Now Kids pegs and their coats bags etc :mad: when I cleaned in the school I used to get annoyed everyday when I saw all the cloakrooms . Coats shoes bags on the floor I used to hang them up and booger me same ones would be on the floor day after. I did wonder why they didn't take them home. When long hols came all clothes bags shoes went into black bags most had been there since September year before. Money found anywhere in the school was handed in with place it was found.

    I still wonder why kids sat under the tables to sharpen their pencils/crayons. Cleaner in a school is not a job I would recommend to anyone. :([/QUOTE]

    Well I'm looking forward to DD starting school :rotfl:

    Actually on that point, would like the views of the Elite on this please. DD turned 3 in August but before the xmas hols her preschool gave me an application handbook and advised me to apply for a school place for DD for Sept 2014, is that right?! She started preschool in Setember and already she's due to start school shortly after turning 4?

    I always loved school dinners :D On St. Patrick's Day (My school was called St. Patrick's) they served green custard! I can't stand custard but thought that was a nice touch :)
    May: Make £5 a day £115.38 / £155

    :p:p:p:p [/QUOTE]

    School kitchen I work in have a breakfast club and cook one morning was serving breakfasts when this lad asked her if she would have a look at his pen because he thought top wasn't on correct because it wasn't vibrating lighting up. :D

    Cook took it off him to look and :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:it wasn't a pen but an Ann Summers toy :p
    She was :o and gave it him back and rushed to wash her hands and had to tell teacher. She said after she didn't know which was more embarrassing realising what it was or having to tell teacher. We couldn't stop :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:in kitchen when cook was telling us.[/QUOTE]

    That is hilarious Tweets, I would love to be there when the head returns it to the mother!
