Love that you...Ah thanks and thanks for commenting. Love that you made cakes (from a box)! I never did take any as I had a call from school to pick Esme up at lunch time. She had collided with another superhero, so that put pay to cake gorging after school. Sweeties helped her to forget.<br />I will just say, that one mum here who has it all in perspective, since reminded me that actually, making cakes is optional. Cool as a cucumber that mum, I admire her. <br />BUT Funny enough, on the PTA reminder, it never mentioned the word optional. And I forgot that fact down to the glare of the headmistress! Who teaches head teachers that look. Are they born with it do you think?<br /> <br /> Writing Life As It Ishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06118742001205454069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992698951678842054.post-2456612015105478432014-11-16T10:20:58.834+00:002014-11-16T10:20:58.834+00:00Yep I got the look too, 2 days before friday I was...Yep I got the look too, 2 days before friday I was reminded about making cakes - and I was given the look and the words that said "you knew this was coming, you have to make cakes - what do you mean you haven't collected any money?" Yes I felt bad, so the day before I had the day off (I work full time) to take my little boy out for the day, we went by train to birmingham, had fun in the think tank museum, got back late, I made some cakes (yes from a box), my son helped and I put £15 of my own money in the pot - was bloddy knackered and not even a thank you! So thanks for your thank you - and good for you too, you remembered to buy cakes, and dress your kids up and put a fiver in!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992698951678842054.post-2106107240693150682014-11-14T12:24:49.675+00:002014-11-14T12:24:49.675+00:00These fundraising days are dreaded by all parents ...These fundraising days are dreaded by all parents everywhere! Something that the kids could do instead of the parents would be a bit better - how about a sponsored silence?! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610843552921892203noreply@blogger.com
