Message on what's app for - leavers group 2018. Add or report as spam. .
Thinking it was to do with dd and leaving 2017 with a misprint. . Maybe a thank you to all who organised it etc (not me but did cough up the £30 demanded-through my car window as pulled up at after school club pick up - for pizza hut +jump 360+multi named jumper - might add what's app group began in March but naff all actually booked til 2 days before the agreed date!! Wtaf!!)
But no......
It's to start the planning for next years leavers which will include my other dd!!
No way am I even thinking about the mugs /tops /hats /trips suggestions already landing in my whats app box!! Obviously removing myself from the group is the easy answer but have they got nowt else they can be doing for the next 10 bloody months???!!!!
Considering nowt actually for booked til the week they left school it's a total waste of time anyway!!
Rant over.
Still smarting from the £££££ spent on school uniforms to think about parting with any more anywhere near the school gate!!

You What? That all makes no sense whatsoever.

YANBU. Year 6 leavers is a thing to be avoided in my (very limited) experience. Luckily I have PTA excuses so can't get too deeply involved...

Er... English? I'm sorry but I cannot grasp what you're saying at all

Could someone translate this for me please?

Haven't a fuck what you are on about but can pretty much guarantee YABU.

This has made me

What the actual fuck are you on about?! Multi named jumper?!!!

Your OP is really weirdly written Hard to follow.

But I think the basics are that you've been asked to join a group to arrange the leavers from your younger dds class...when they've got a year left still.

Am I right?

So, some parents from the new y6 saw the shambles and late booking of a party for last years y6 and decided to be more organised this year.

Despite being frustrated by the lack of planning and organisation last year, you think they shouldn't be starting yet?

YABU.

Why not suggest something cheap and low key, and that y6 fund it themselves by cake sales? For my DD2 they had a sleep over in the field with a BBQ, a few games and a bouncy castle.

Multi named jumper...jumper with the names of the class printed on the back usually.

Bizarrely as it's badly written I understand this and the multi-name jumper as my DCs school has IT leaves activities.

Leave now and re-join in May 2018

To answer what I think is your question, YANBU to leave the group. No way would I be putting up with messages 10 months out from an event.

If you wanted the 2017 stuff organised sooner, why didn't yo do it?
If you left it to someone be else to organise, you can't complain about when they choose to do it.

Autocorrect not IT but OTT !

You can 'mute' the group

You OK Hun?

I teach ESL and can just about decipher it.
You have two DDs, one has just left Y6 and you have just spent a load of money on kitting her out for Y7 and now your DD2 (the year below) has just started Y6 and the Y6 Leavers arrangements have started? It was badly arranged last year, so some mums are trying to get ahead of the game and organise properly?

Is that the gist?

If so I'd put the group on mute rather than leave, and nearer the time just see what's being organised.
When my DD23 and DD19 left Y6 they had a disco in the school hall and the PTS were selling pop and crisps. Highlight was seeing Mr Head of KS2 doing his disco dancing.
My DN just left Y6 and it was a "Gala dinner"- bloody ridiculous amount of money spent on dresses, hair, make up and other nonsense. And an absolute nightmare for shy/less popular/less wealthy kids.

I was one of around 7 organisers for DD1's leavers' do and we started organising it around the December as we needed to book the venue (disco in a local hall) and contacted all the parents to let them have an idea of what we were planning and costs etc. But I think this is ridiculously early to be planning it - they could at least have waited a few weeks till they settle back to school. It doesn't sound as though they've asked you to be one of the organisers - think yourself lucky and just read the messages from afar. I'd never want to organise on again - costs just spiralled out of control and it ended up being like an American-style prom complete with limo. Not what I would have wanted.

not a clue what went on there

None of that makes sense to me

This post makes absolutely no sense. Christ, why can't people write properly any more? Try rewriting it in English and you might have more luck.

I'd just cough up, and leave them to it.

DD leavers was organised by 6 people and nobody else got a say in what they did/planned

It all centred round one child who was a princess, so limos etc

We (a few mums) organised a BBQ beach meet up after school, sun came out, kids went swimming water fights and had a much better time than the nice dress disco type ball

What did I just read?

OP are you using the Siri or other dictation app?

we'll need that again in English

This made perfect sense to me as someone with a recent leaver! I would probably post a jokey comment like "noooo, I don't even want to think about dd2 leaving yet. I've just got over the emotion of dd1 leaving!" and see what they come back with!

I don't see how leaving year 6 ever became a "thing" anyway? What's wrong with a leavers ' disco in the school hall?

Of course it makes sense, not sure why everything has to be written perfectly before it's deemed understandable.

OP if you want your DC to be involved in the leaver activities then I'd stay in the group. Keep tabs on how much you're paying out and what for, as it's started so early this has potential to go overboard. I do think it's a good idea to start planning and booking early, all primaries end at roughly the same time so bookings will have to be made sooner rather than later. The hoodies are nice to wear at school too, so getting them before they leave is a nice idea too.
