To think Morrisons should sell compasses?

[Sparklingbrook]

The pointy ones you use for Maths. Well my local one doesn't. So you can't get a set of compasses in this one horse town til WHSmiths opens at 9am tomorrow.

Hmmph.

they will have them for "Back to School" ....so given that ours are off at the end of the week I'd say Scottish Morrisons shoul dhave them in by the end of the week.

DS's homework is due on Wednesday.

can't you improvise with a bit of string and a pencil??

Can you improvise witn a drawing pin and string?

That's a good idea both. It's Year 8 maths though so it may have to be very precise.

They sell the little maths kits though don't they? I'm sure I got one.

What sort of mother are you?not to have such maths implements at hand at any given time?? Lmao been there too many times to count

I have located a maths set in Tesco. £1.96. So take that Mr Morrison.

He's never needed one till now?

Oh yes, we probably have three somewhere but can we find them? They will all appear from somewhere tomorrow no doubt.

I bet it isn't very pointy.

I remember my compass when I was at school had a great spiky thing but when we got DD a maths set for secondary school the point on the compass was a titchy thing and not very sharp.

Must be 'elf and safety's influence
