I tried to post a rant this morning, but it got eaten just as.....................

[psychomum5]

............my flaky school-run friends little boy turned up for his lift, without his greek day costume......(apparently he also didn;t tell his mum)

""it is greek day, and NOW DS1 tells me.

I have been asking when it is, I KNEW it was coming, but with all the illnesses etc, he and I had the impression it was 21st of november, and I was going shopping today for something for him.

and he tells me it is today......

he found out last night from a friend at the school run (he was ill yesterday), and decided that this morning was a Good Time to tell me.

thank fuck is all I can say that I am good.

I have just made a costume, but I am still frantic and need to calm down......

hence the Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhh!!!!!"" well.........SINCE the not posting of my rant (no idea why it got eaten), I have also made ANOTHER greek day costume ((how fab am I??? TWO in half hour)), but I also found the letter telling us (it was sent in september......), and it did* state 21st. Apparently it all changed when DS1 gouged his head on the tree, and I never obviously got the letter.

so......................am now doubly proud of me, and a tad pissed at the school (not too much, it has turned out well), and I didn;t rant at the school as in fairness, they cannot keep track on all pupils when they are ill/letter going out etc......and I would bet that DS1 did actually know before just not quick enough to tell me IYGWIM.

anyhoooo..........I wanted to share

thank you!

err what happens on greek day? and what was the costume? adonis would have been easy... pair of underpants, sorted!

well done. you should be very proud of your day's achievments

thankyou for replying.

they needed costumes.

they actually neeeded fab toga costumes (roman style actually), with greek print all over.

obviously, it was not printed, but I cut a white sheet in half, plaited some fabric to tie round as a belt, and then stuck a costume jewellery fake pearl earing thing thro one shoulder for the sparkly jewel that upper-class greek men wore.

now if it was geek day... that would be a good and easy theme too!

oh yes, that would have been much easier
