So today I get an email from school to say that on Monday, ds has to personally take all his GCSE textbooks to school at 1pm. We live 5 miles from the school, there is no public transport and both dh and I are at work all day.
The next day they have a 6th form introductory day.
I called the school to ask whether
a) he could bring the books in on the Tuesday
b) I could drop them off on the Monday on the way to work
c) I could drop them on the Monday on the way back from work
To which the answer is no to all of the above. So I'm going to have to lay out £30 for taxi fares as he can't carry them on his bike.
It's soooo annoying! The school receptionist is a really unhelpful dragon type who always speaks to me (and others) as though I'm something she's stepped on.
Just ranting really.
