    In all things money related, I've cancelled DD's swimming.

    She is at a level where she can swim if she needed to get out of trouble. We were at the pool on Saturday and now parent's aren't allowed to watch, when we queried it, we were told that this is the new policy and that we should've been told the previous week. The lack of communication there is virtually non-existant.

    When I was there the instructor spent more time sorting her hair out and flirting with the male instructor than she did actually teaching :mad:

    I've told them that I have cancelled the DD (I haven't yet!) and that I trust they won't persue for a further month.

    It's tentatively sounding positive, sounds like they really don't want to lose you PMO2. Fingers and toes crossed that you get positive news on Wednesday:j

    Also sounds like you've done the right things cancelling the swimming lessons! Doesn't sound very professionally run!!!:eek:

    Morning,

    Pay day for DH today :)

    All necessary payments made.

    I have asked DH is he is ok with me paying off the OD, I doubt it but I'd have felt bad just clearing it behind his back, so will wait and see. If not, I can reduce it slightly.

    Thanks for the wishes, I am really hoping for a good result tomorrow.

    That's crazy about the swimming lessons! Why aren't parents allowed to watch?

    Some new rule that they brought in but failed to tell the parents. I wasn't the only one that was annoyed about it, one of the other parent's who I don't chat to, said the lack of communication was annoying.

    The swimming lessons sound terrible, never heard of parents not being able to watch that just sends alarm bells to me, best off away.

    I hope dh says it's ok to pay off overdraft, with the new charges it's going to become expensive, I don't see a quick change with the situation despite the banks being asked to explain the percentage rate.

    I will be checking constantly today to hear any news!
