He has an "off day" tomorrow during his mocks which I say should be used as a revision day but 3 of his friends are going into Reading to do some Xmas shopping (hmmm...they're 15 year old boys so that doesn't sound quite right does it - bet there are some girls involved as well! )and he wants to go along. I've just told him that he can't go and am now feeling majorly guilty. He isn't the most academic of kids so I think he could do with as much time hitting the books as possbut at the same time I'm wondering if some "time out" might do him some good - God I hate being Libran and indecisive! I am right, aren't I??

My DD is also good at producing voucher books, and she lives in Reading town centre with her friends. Maybe they learn it at same school??

You get a book??? I just get a mumbled "promise" that is then conveniently forgotten. Must be part of the syllabus in this area - "How to scam your parents in 1 easy lesson"!
