They will SA, amazing when they've gone. Definitely a lot of lessons learnt.

I'm quite lucky their things do last quite well. I don't know what they've done in school today but DD1's sole is completely hanging off on hers and the other two's aren't much better. But glue will save theirs. DD's are past saving not even for a day.

Can DD1 not wear trainers/gym shoes tomorrow?

WannabeFree

Not allowed Beanie, they make them wear some out of lost property and she would be so upset

I've seen some on Asda online reasonably priced I hope our little store has them. I won't be grocery shopping until Monday to stretch it out and make up for being over budget this week so will manage. It will all work out. Things are so much better than this time last week

Wow! I've not been on for a few days. It's so nice to see the Debts going down.

I've had to order my girls boots from Asd@ today too. DD2 are just little slip on things and the hole goes all the way through the heel. Luckily they have a no uniform day tomorrow so i've been able to order them.

Definitly keep the home ed as an option. If your DD still needs a lot of time off when she's poorly once she is officially CSA, i've known schools become very different.

Thank you Home Ed is something I'm going to discuss tomorrow X

Asda have some online at £5 I'm hoping they have them in store

Morning Hope the early morning dash for DD's shoes paid off and that the meeting goes well today. x

Morning, today I just shouldn't have got out of bed

First off DD1 spilt a whole 4 pints of milk because she couldn't wait the 5 minutes why I was dressing DD2. So now I feel guilty for being cross
We went to Asda and they didn't have the shoes they had online. Only ones at £15+ so a massive meltdown from DD1 about how she will be in trouble and tears and everything else.

Anyway they are in school and her teacher reassured her it's okay for today and I will sort it before Monday.

This afternoons appointment has been cancelled. They will call with another day. Thanks for the warning :cool: :mad:

Is it bedtime yet?

It's rotten when your day gets off to a bad start, but I'm glad the school went easy on your DD about the school shoes. The last thing you needed was them being difficult about that.

The only way is up! Hope your day improves dramatically

Thank you Homegrown

Still need to get DD's school shoes and tights. Will sort it later today. I'm having coffee and 10 minutes first. £5 extra on the gas this week because it's freezing and all the emergency had been used.
