Dear Miss Frugal's Teacher,Thank you very much for the school report you sent home with Miss Frugal today, it made lovely reading. I'm very pleased to hear that she is using pertinent word choices in an appropriate manner and that she contributes her ideas freely and listens respectfully when others speak. I'm also impressed that she is responsible and hardworking and always well behaved in your class.I must admit I'm slightly concerned that you may have her mixed up with another child in your class because she certainly doesn't display all of these behaviousrs at home at times. … [Read more...]
Advance Warning….
Dear Mr FrugalJust a quick note to let you know that I'll be going out to a works do tomorrrow night.

Easter Holiday Letters….
Following on from my school holiday letters last month, I thought it would be a good idea to do the same for the two week Easter holiday ;-) Just to lay down the ground rules lol Dear ChildrenI am pleased you are looking forward to some time off school, however, to prevent any problems, I think I should share the following rules with you:You will be expected to get dressed each morning. Under no circumstances will every day be a pyjama day - especially when we are going out. Oh yes and when I'm at work, please don't tell Daddy that you are dressed when you have actually just … [Read more...]
School Holiday Letters….
Dear ChildrenI love you both more than anything but following our rather stressful day yesterday, I think it would be a good idea to lay down some school holiday ground rules:* Just because it's the school holidays, you do not need to be doing something every minute of the day!
