I used to think 'what's all that about' but having seen the amount of pressure they're put under at exam time, and Amy is still only in Year 10, I think they deserve a good night out. Does your daugher's school do the same as Amy's in that the pupils don't know where they're going until they turn up at school? Obviously transport is provided to the venue by school and all parents are sent texts so they know where they will be. xxEveryday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-70258235366715585592015-06-01T14:25:35.085+01:002015-06-01T14:25:35.085+01:00If she asks to go from that hair colour to platinu...If she asks to go from that hair colour to platinum blonde, say NO!
