Bloody school trips :roll:
I've just paid out hundreds of pounds, which we put aside over months for school uniform for 3 children, another £120 we hadn't got for school shoes, Amelia still needs a replacement school bag :roll: and now the secondary school wants another £33 for my year 7 daughter to go on a team-building, raft making exercise. My oldest son went through secondary school with many friends, very successfully passing his GCSEs and not so successfully passing his A'Levels without ever having to 'team-build'. Can't they leave that sort of thing to the corporate giants and their management?
Sorry just fed up with the hundreds of pounds every year schools demand off parents to take their children to uninspiring places, my hubby has a full time job and we canny afford it, I don't know how people on benefits do.
Rant over
