    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 between :D

    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.

    Hope you are feeling ok soon. I'm having an equally expensive and frustrating week...its nearly the weekend for us all xx

    My class (9-11 yrs) occasionally discuss the existence of the tooth fairy/father christmas etc. Some of them certainly still believe and seem totally oblivious to any such conversation!
