to wonder why I know nothing about a trip to Paris which my child is supposed to be going on next week?

[ZombiesAtYourCervix]

Just opened an email from school

apparently my child is going on an art trip to Paris next week.

I know nothing about this

I have paid no money (I think - although I tend not to know about money)

Nobody has mentioned it to me (I think - I might not have been listening)

So. Do we think she is going? Do we think this is one of the many things that someone forgot to tell me? Do we think I am expected to stump up £4000 or whatever 3 days in Paris is going to cost (according to school)?

It is a mystery.

Ah! Could Kitty be right?

for OP

nope this year.

surely not????????????

Oh to be 15 and let loose in Paris...

Sorry that's not helpful

If she's neglected to tel you and has to miss out it will be a shame but a lesson...if the SCHOOL have neglected to tell you, you can insist she goes! Let us know!

It'll be lovely having a son-in-law called Serge and bilingual grandchildren. Stop worrying.

Very odd - usually there are millions several reminders about installments etc. for this type of trip. And lots of meetings for pupils and letters to parents/and or meeting with them too.

she'll be back soon - by 5-ish. i will let you know.

Tiaras!! :o

OP PHONE SOMEONE AT SCHOOL or DD IN ART CLUB before the phone lines at school close.

I'm panicking for you now!!

And access to crepes.

:o

too bloody late for panicing now Kitty. what's 24 hours when you need to flog a kidney by next monday?

Maybe he'll be a brilliant chef who wants nothing more than to serve his MIL 3 meals a day and do all the washing up

C'est possible mais.................

We did a school trip to paris when we were 15 ( all girls school) met some rather nice Italian boys at the hotel ......

What blood group are you?

I'll panic for you then OP...

A pos. It's a bit pickled but nearly good as new.

Tiaras, Rookie - you are not helping.

she's nothome yet. maybe she's already left.

Shame - I'm sure you'd get more for O neg. Stay off the now.

"It'll be lovely having a son-in-law called Serge and bilingual grandchildren. Stop worrying."

ROFL. My mother thought it was just lovely for her daughters to learn languages. Fast forward 30 years and she has two French sons-in-laws and four bilingual grandchildren all living many kms away from her...

Zombies - if she was going to Paris next week, you would have had to send in her passport details by now, I suspect. Have you filled in anything with her passport details on/sent her passport into school? Could she have access to it?

If the answers to the above are all no, then it's unlikely she's going, unless she's been offered a last-minute place because someone has dropped out.

Try the ports/airports/ferry terminals?
