dd1 very anxious beofre tells me they have to take their(hers and dd2s) sponsor money in tomorrow from a sponsored skip they day they broke up.
I also owe for her trip and dd2s trip that they sent letters home about just before they broke up.
3 wweks before they had a none-uniform day and another sponsored event.They also both need baking money.

(dd2 also needs sponsor money for Rainbows too)

Its not that I can't afford it just that I need a few weeks to budget for it.
Especially as we have just been away and have spent quite a lot for us (saved up for and cost spread out)

I think I prob am being unreasonable but please tell me I am justified in having a word with the head about the short notice of these events.

I wouldnt worry about Rainbows, just ,ention it and they'll be OK (ex leader me)

It gets silly doesnt it? We ahd 2 sponsor events, a book fayre and the school summer fete a few weeks ago within 7 days, X 3

Only the school fete (mainlya s I was helping) got done, the rest they had to go lump it.

I think you are entirely reasonable and I agree re. having a word with the head to ask for more notice. Bet she just hasn't thought about it from the parents' POV.
