Child being sick SHOULD have gone to the first aid room - or if there isn't one, then the school office. Utterly irresponsible of the school to leave them in the classroom. :eek: Poor child too - horrible being sick in front of other people!

Fab about the jewellery boxes!

Called in a friend to collect jewellery boxes. £7.98 well spent

DD is still sleeping in bed :cool: Hopefully she wakes up recovered.

I don't know if they have a first aid room, however there are plenty of places out of a classroom they could have been while waiting for someone to collect them.

I really hope after Xmas when the new head starts there will be some major improvements to some things. If not I'm really considering a transfer. It's hard because in other areas they have been brilliant. However some of the stuff that's not so good is areas that really matter We won't even get into the issues with youngest and being left out because she's different.

In law visit went okay, as I thought they didn't stay. Youngest didn't even know who they where :rotfl: 'Who's that man mummy :eek: That's your Grandad.. Not my real one? 3 year olds and their mouths eh!

I am truly shocked at a school treating a sick child like that. Let's hope things change after Christmas.
Well done on the jewellery boxes - little girls just love things like that.
Just like a three year old. I still cringe with embarrassment at some of the things my son said to people when he was wee. They just say it as they see it.
Hope you've had a good day (apart from the wee one being sick and the in laws).

Think that will be the end of updating December goals. I will meet the debt payments but I'm not focusing on anything else really on there.

Still waiting for the cheque from surveys so that won't clear until after Xmas now.

Will be back with January goals in the new year.

Will still be posting just not going to be working on the list so much for the next week or so. x

I hope DD feels better and it's just a 24 hour bug. Great news about the jewellery boxes .

Is it just you and the DC on Christmas day? Or are you spending it with your mum or sister?

mummytogirls

Boooo to DD being sick WF, hope the others and you don't get it.

Yay to the jewellery boxes though, you got a real bargain there xx

Just me and the smalls for Xmas. Everyone else is away together over Xmas and new year. I couldn't afford to go This year Probably not next either :rotfl:

DD does seem better tonight, although I'm not hopeful she will be in bed anytime soon considering she's slept 95% of the time until now :cool:

Missing for a few days , you have a DIY disaster , at least all that decorating is finished for Christmas. I can't believe how much school has cost you this month, I don't think they take into account if you have more than one child , it's eye watering .

The jewellery boxes sound a real nice gift, plus gifts through the post how thoughtful.

Hope your DD goes to bed again at a reasonable time , and that she feels better.

Sorry to hear you've got another poorly small On the plus side at least she'll be better for Christmas.

That's fab about the jewellery boxes, what a stroke of luck

So pleased there are some positive things happening

A quiet Christmas Day with the smalls sounds lovely xx
