My second AIBU in a week. Think I'm turning into a moaning minny. Am also in a foul mood today due to lack of money, so I probably ABU, but wanted to moan anyway.
About six weeks ago, DD1 came home with a letter about YR6 residential, was going to cost ÂŁ163, they wanted ÂŁ63 deposit within a week. Balance of ÂŁ100 due 10th May. Scraped deposit together, but surely a week is very short notice! I'm on SMP, so money is very tight. Then, they moved balance due date forward a week. I know it's not compulsory that she goes, but everyone else is going! It's also apparently the follow-up to YR5 residential.
Next, DD has presented me with a letter about another school trip, costing ÂŁ20, going next week! Apparently, the letter has been in the bottom of her bag for a week (scrunched up, so I didn't notice it!), but that's still just 2 weeks notice.
IABU to think that perhaps they could give more notice? It would help for budgeting purposes!
