i havent stopped wirting out cheques this week.....

[LaCod]

ok so far
ds1 £30 cubs, £70 tennis, £35 cricket

ds2 - £30 beavers - £ 11 beaver trip £50 tennis £20 football £50 Rugby

this is ridiculous

i wrote one this am - £17 for school photos

Look at it this way cod: if sport is your son's life, with any luck he will be fantastic at it, go on to represent his country, and, if you push him towards football (so lose the cricket whites) he will earn a fortune and be able to pay you back for all your expenditure now! Don't settle for less than a house in the Caribbean.

£18 taekwon-do
£52 swimming
dont forget the new uniform

id hate for him to be a pro sportsman i htink
too lazy to start driving around the place
he loves it though and thats allthat counts.

swimming! farkign nroa thast a lot

good on him, shame about the cheque book though

dd still at nursery, £££, thought life would be cheaper once she's at school [deluded]

£52 is for 8 wks

jesus, i need to do more shifts at work

Mine aren't into sport, but I pat a fortune in music fees (and bloody swimming lessons - how can children with so many lessons be so crap at swimming, still?)

But there are rewards. I am still glowing from finding out yesterday that ds2 got a distinction in his grade one violin exam. (Just had to mention it one more time!)

pay obviously

tis ok once yur eldest start wanting to do footall , ballet or whatver but them tehri younger sibligns cme on board
sheesh

on wednedays il haev one at football 5 - 6pm and at the oter side of town i'll have ds1 at tennis 5 - 6 15

DG talk to ma abotu swimming
mine are shit

i accepted this after 6 years of paying and got one to one lessons
ds1 can swim btu not verys tylishyly

Ds1 - had swimming lessons for 6 years. Can swim but not stylishly (to quote cod) and never goes now that lessons have stopped.

Ds2 - has had lessons for 6 years (still having them). Can swim several lengths but style is appalling. Never improves.

Dd - has had lessons for 2 years (still continuing). can swim about 8 metres. Bloody hell!

Ds3 - yet to start. I am not sure I have the strength to start him, let alone the cash.

Lessons are continuous throughout the year (ie no breaks for school holidays) and cost about £50 for 10 lessons per child.

Mind you, the biggest money spinner is KARATE. When my 2 oldest boys did that for a year, we took out a second mortgage.

cod you have to take them swimming too - lessons arent enough
one to one important

wlel we do of course nonce chops
3 boys - of course we go swimmign to excercise them

dg id get a teacher to do a fmily lesosn
pay thought nose

you dont even like swimming
or is taht alone

you area nippy sweetie today darling

I have two lots of swimming (£120 per term)
three lots of ballet (£315 per term)
two lots of music lesson (£196 per term)
two lots of music group (£50 per term)
two lots of trampolining (£46 per term)
They are having to make do with too small dance shoes though as I refuse to replace them until they cannot be forced on AT ALL.
Why did i think three was a good idea?

you win SV

im nippy

?

Oh how could I forget ballet? Another little money spinner there when you add together uniform (shoes seem to need replacing every week), lesson fees and exam fees, not to mention the cost of hairspray!

the hair nad no fringe thing irks me

thankfully i no longer have school fees!

yes
