Agree, you all deserve double pay especially for dealing with all of that. I couldn't deal with sick. I would be sick as well. xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

I can't believe your 'tricky' boy is a happy boy. It sounds so sad for him and his parents, and you all need extra pay and medals for dealing with him as best you can.👏👏6

Thanks everyone 🙂. I had an uneventful day in the nice class thank goodness. I wore my Christmas pudding brooch today 😁.
After school I got DH to stop outside the post office so I could finally post the Christmas cards I wrote last weekend 🙄. I also bought 24 stamps. I needed them for ten of the cards and I wanted a few spares. There was a queue outside the post office, but the queue has just moved outside as only four people are allowed in the shop and it moved along fairly quickly. It was a relief to get all my Christmas cards posted and while I was in the queue I bought a birthday card for DH's niece. I also spotted a little Christmas gift for my sister; a small wooden plaque fashioned in the shape of a vase of flowers and with a message about how precious sisters are. She told me not to get her anything as she's moving in the next few months and is decluttering, but I wanted to get her a little something and I think she'll like it 🙂.
After decontaminating in the shower and eating a snack (I'm always starving after eating my lunch at 11.15am), I decided to get organised for Christmas with some lists as I can't believe there is only two weeks to go 😳. I made a present list, and as it's mainly rainforest vouchers and cash it shouldn't be too difficult to tackle. However I did identify that I need to go to the shops to buy three small presents, so I think I'll do that on Sunday morning. Tomorrow I'll need to go to Mr M to buy some urgent food items and then I need to print out lots of invoices to give our accountants 😣.
So much as I'd like a restful weekend, it's going to be a slightly busy one, however it will still be more restful than being at school. I hope everyone has had a satisfactory Friday 🙂. I know I'm glad it's the weekend!Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
