    It does all even out. I like ours being different as it means we get to some places and they are quieter than if we are all on school breaks at the same time.

    Although speaking of school they made me BIG mad again today. I'm so annoyed. So much so I rang smalls Dad at work and had to make sure I wasn't being totally stupid. So tomorrow morning I will be at that school as soon as it opens and I've already spoke to the education board and reached out to the governors. Crossed the line too far!

    Anyway on the back of that I was late home from the school run so dinner was rushed.

    Have a lovely evening

    Hi Wannabe,

    I'm sorry the school have been useless again but good for for not taking it lying down!

    You seem quiet, but heaven forbid anyone who messes with your smalls! :D (Which is exactly how it should be! :T)


    I hope you get it sorted out with as little fuss as possible, but I'm sorry that you have to sort it out at all, if you know what I mean.

    Really shocked your children just get the week off, although my friend's school had a very short Christmas holiday...it must even out somehow!

    Hope the school is helpful and listening tomorrow.

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
