Just in case anyone hasn't found out yet - especially as the GCC website has fallen over - all Glasgow schools are shut today.

No I wasn't, the snowwould have made it a 90 minute trip by public transport for me.

So I stayed at home and drank wine hot chocolate!

weegiemum · 01/12/2010 11:45

Are you going to the CHristmas Fair on Friday? Could meet up then if you are ?

doggiesayswoof · 01/12/2010 11:55

weegie and Aitch Grin

DD is in p2, Miss Thomson. She somehow seems to know everyone in the school so I would imagine she might know your DC.

I posted on a thread way way back about the school so that's why I remembered your DC go the same school weegiemum

We were at the p1-p3 assembly on Monday morning cos DD was playing Dannii Minogue in the X Factor sketch they did. I don't think we will make it to the xmas fayre (wish it was at the weekend again). Didn't make it to the St Andrew's day thang either, was it good Aitch? DD seemed to enjoy it anyway.

weegiemum · 01/12/2010 11:56

Most folks know my dd2 as she spent p1 and most of p2 in a wheelchair. That totally identifies our family!

Aha, all South Lanarkshire schools and council nurseries to be shut tomorrow.

See here

weegiemum · 01/12/2010 14:56

Can people post here when they find out about Glasgow too?

Kind of assuming they wil be off, but you never know!

weegiemum · 01/12/2010 14:57

(star of the week)

mum2all · 01/12/2010 15:08

West Lothian schools and nurseries are shut the rest of the week, hopefully open Monday. Council have a facebook page (i know, i know) but they have been updating it really regularly and has been a quick effective way of letting people know what's happening.
Re the poster who moaned about councils employing more local teachers - i live and work in west lothian, I'm only a 20 minute drive from school but there's no way I'd make it into school this week!

midnightexpress · 01/12/2010 15:14

I've started a school closures thread here - have included your info about W Lothian mum2all

nulgirl · 01/12/2010 15:15

My dd's nursery in Glasgow phoned me today to tell me about the closure. The staff were all phoning using their own personal mobiles so they could get through as many calls as quickly as possible. Not sure if they were phoning all parents or just those who work but I was very impressed.

Had already decided to not go in today as my not so "d"h had decided to go out yesterday evening and got our car stuck. Hoping that they close them for tomorrow as well so I don't have to battle with the 2 separate drop offs then trip to work

AitchTwoOh · 01/12/2010 15:15

scholar of the week, surely?

KristinaM · 01/12/2010 15:59

FalachFead · 01/12/2010 20:16

Glasgow City Council web-site has fallen over again Angry and their twitter site has not been updated. Has anyone heard anything?

As of yesterday, they had said that they intended to open the schools although indivisulat schools may be closed and to check the web-site Hmm
