To hate non-school uniform days

[MarioandLuigi]

Where you have to pay in items.

It was bad enough when it was 50p a day, then it went up to £1, now our school ask for stuff in return for wearing our own clothes (or pyjamas). DS1 has to take in chocolate bars and DS2 has to take in bottles of fizzy pop.

I know its all fundraising but it drives me crackers because it gets quite expensive with one every few weeks.

I dislike the dressing up days. International day, World Book Day. FFS what's wrong with uniform or just mufti.

I loathe them. I've got enough to do never mind sort out some ridiculous costume. If you have a girl then it seems you just dress her in a princess dress and hey presto job done.

DS loathes dressing up as he just doesn't see the point. Then again he doesn't mind being the only one in his class in uniform.

just re-read my last post!

I didn't actually do it all on my own there was a small group of 6-8 of us including two of the school staff who did the organising. All the teachers and TAs etc would chip in on the day.

Looking back some of it was fun.

It was the dressing up stuff that I disliked the most.
