Running total

Running total of money given in to school so far this half term, and this is just for 'asks' and not lunch money, uniform etc, but for sponsorship, donations, non uniform days etc, is £50.10.

That is fifty pounds sterling and ten pence.

School photos are next week. Sigh. Copies to Sister in Law, Brothers, darling uncle, darling father, us (of course) and I suspect a few more aunties. I won't add in the cost of a hair cut before it, though, as he is due a hair cut anyway.

It all could be a lot worse, I suppose. I was keeping a total out of amusement, but it may be quite useful, if only to point out parental contribution to the staff.

I know what you mean about the money, but take a deep breath and let it go. Speaking from experience, it is only going to get worse: two girls in secondary school - we've had to pay for two trips already, Jeans for Genes day today, and I know we have Children in Need to look forward to, and the EFG is going to need more art supplies this weekend too....If you add it all up, you'd go nuts.

Big hugs! xxx

Crikey.
Don't forget that to get £50.10 in your hand, £62.62 has to be earned (And that's just taking into account tax at 20%, not NI contributions)!
Definitely worth keeping track
