My DS2 insists on writing letters to the tooth fairy - and expects replies!!! He wrote to her last week, too - but hadn't lost a tooth - just wanted to ask her a question. She didn't reply (because 'she' hadn't known about the letter until she found it in the bin) - but that can be explained away by tooth fairies only visiting when teeth come out, not in betweenI am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £200

Hope you enjoyed it!
Nice HOD makes a massive difference. I Knew within 20 mins of starting a supply post that I liked it and wanted to stay in teaching (after 7 years of hating it and moronic HOD) just because of the great HOD there.
