Hi,
anyone know when we will get our NED pack? Do you think it'll be this week?
Getting all excited about going and seeing which house he's going to be in.

I obviously am demented and although 38 people have looked at this, no-one has replied to help me out.

Hi, am I getting dementia or did the forms we filled in for the estimate of fees not include all the allowances mentioned on the website? Just happened to take a look at them, and saw that not only income tax and council tax is included, but also water rates and house insurance. For the life of me I...

Do they have to do chores in house? I hope so.

Or 40 sons. What a nightmare that would be!

As the parent of a little boy about to start at CH in September, I have read all through this post, and I went and read the blog. I am inclined to wonder at its veracity, as some other posters have also been. The blogger claims to have aspirations to become a writer, and to have been at CH after the...

Mine seems to have been a teenager for ages. In fact, I think he went straight from the terrible twos in to being a teenager as regards getting up etc and getting washed (and tooth brushed). Do you know, I am REALLY looking forward to the civilising influence of CH. I fight a running battle on the t...

Mine is not too good at getting up in the mornings. I can't see him managing to get up in time to take a shower! In fact, I can visualise him going into breakfast still in his pyjamas!

So there is hope!
He once, when he was about seven, in all sincerity, leant towards me and said in a hushed voice - "I'm not from your planet." How true.
I shall count on CH turning him into a boy that likes showering. Oh no, there go a large host of flying pigs.

MIne likes to store his washing up on the floor of his room, jumbled up with his clean clothes. I have just had to resort to bribery (a bar of chocolate as it is Saturday so sweetie night) to get him to have a shower and wash his hair.

Ah! That probably explains it! Thanks.
It is raining really hard here in France, by the way. Very depressing.

I think my DS will need extra civvies as he will not be coming back to me on Leave Weekends, but staying with his brothers and sisters, who won't have clothes to change him into! Mind you, the way he is now, I think he would be quite happy with one set unwashed for the whole term. Working VERY hard ...

Well, I am quite taken aback. No, not by the location of the Thrift shop or the Tuck shop or whatever. By the TIME it takes for the orders we make on NED for sports kit to actually arrive! I can't access the lists on the website, so contacted Kukri, but meanwhile managed to get an order form from a ...

I see on the website that the Open Day is the day before NED. You will be busy in the tuck shop! It sounds lovely, but I bet it'll be seething on NED! Looking forward to trying the home made cake - am on a diet at the moment so it will give me something to look forward to!

So, I can banish the picture I have of kids rummaging through the old socks for fun at break .......
