The Boy went off to the Cheshire Show yesterday to "perform" with the school orchestra. They were allowed to take up to £5 to spend so I put the money in his school bag.
Going to pick him up later there were armies of kids laden down with every imaginable form of tat: giant inflatable hammers, furry things on sticks, fluorescent teddy bears and so on. Not The Boy. Turns out he had left his school bag and money at school point:
He had toured the stalls anyway and had bagged LOADS of free stuff: pens, pencils, a rucksack, new water bottle, scratch cards, keyrings.
Most benevolent supplier of gifts? Revenue and Customs!

He'll go far that lad. Resourceful. happy088
I trust you let him keep the fiver.

Meanie! He didn't have to tell you he'd forgotten it. For being truthful alone I'd have let him keep it.

He didn't know it was in the bag!

His schoolbag has a money compartment.I put £2 in it every day. Yesterday I put £5 in it (in coins). For some reason he didn't check the money thingy before he left his bag at school. He had taken everything else out (lunch, coat, music) though not the pegs or money.

Pegs? shrugs:

It's a sideline of Nicks that he picked up from the local Pikeys. He does lucky white heather in season too.

My ancestors where gypos! thats why i am dark an hot blooded... Banghead

I still think he is terrific.
How "Billy Bunterish" to try to open an account at the tuck shop. It is a classic take on the "Can you loan me five shillings ~ I am expecting a postal order" that featured in such tales lol:
You have only yourself to blame for educating him so well in the things that we grew up knowing but most modern kids would not think of.

She's not working today. Term is over for most of her students. Only two classes still running (Tuesday afternoons and Thursday Afternoons) and they end in a couple of weeks. All hell breaks loose again come end of September. She is actually in the "Music Room" preparing lesson plans for next year's lot.

Bonfire? rubschin:
We might have a BBQ at the weekend if the weather holds up. Will that do?
-
Barefoot, flaring skirts and bells round her ankle?
