How much "stuff"?!
I don't remember sending my dd to school in September with so much stuff?! Either her debris has bred in captivity or she's packed half her room mates' belongings too!
Re: How much
Our thoughts too !
I can only assume that dd has been regularly depleting the thrift shop of it's stock

How much "stuff"?!
Ahhh! Bag 1 - one slipper, random clothes, 2 chocolate coins, a chap stick (no lid), a sweatshirt, house handbook, a lump of blutack stuck in the corner, 3 envelopes (used!), dried up pack of face wipes ... 4 bags to go and I've not even braved the suitcase yet!

Re: How much
I must confess to not even having unloaded the car yet!
Stuff, yes, most definitely far too much of it. Yet I was so stern about it at the beginning of term...
Next term, must try harder!

Re: How much
Dd's stuff has found it's way into the dining room ... I'm hoping to reclaim the dining room by Christmas day
Dd hasn't touched a thing. I'm now only half way down number 1 washing bag and wondering why dd doesn't turn her clothes the right way round
I did feel very sorry for the parents of children who play the double bass!

Re: How much
shh, ds didn't bring his home, I'm just trying to work out who to contact to cancel the lessons - not that I've had the invoice yet, I imagine that will come with next terms billAtticus wrote:

Re: How much
My DS says you need to email the head of music, Andrew Cleary - not sure of his email initials but they will be in the current calendar and also email his teacher.
I LOVE the way the house is now so full of washing, ironing, washing up, piles of books, junk....etc, etc.......how I miss it all when he's away!

Re: How much
Buglers weren't aloud to take them home, although 'Bill' Bailey would expect you to take the mouth-piece home, just to keep your lips firm, you understand, much to the delight of my girl-friend of the time, Clare, in Dorking !

Re: How much
Simple solution - make HER clean and iron and fold them. She will have to clean, cook etc when she gets a bit older so now is the time to learn when there is a teacher ;looking over her shoulder.Atticus wrote:Dd's stuff has found it's way into the dining room ...

You weaned her off breast / formula milk so now is the time to wean her off having a slave, cook, skivvy, laundrymaid, policewoman, bank etc. at her beck and call.
Not to be sexist, boys should learn the same
