That's the sort of luck I have. Our school has a secrets room so you donate unwanted gifts then the children go in without an adult and buy the adult a present, which is lovely, but I know that they will buy the thing I've donated because kids

I hope you get a nice surprise and not your own thing back!

It's funny as a lot of the time the children take the fact that it's secret very seriously and won't let their parents see what they've got until Christmas

We went to the school Xmas fair today and I also managed to win back what I donated on the tombola haha. We won 2 prizes on the raffle, but nothing v exciting.

Worked like buggery on LO's squirrel costume for her nativity and managed to get the top finished.

I am probably enjoying it more than I should be lol.

 

[motherofboys]

That looks fantastic.

 

[wildflower79]

The costume looks fab! I had to make DD a cow costume, but it didn't look as good as that

 

[Bevziibubble]

That looks great!

Did my Christmas cards last week and need to get the girls to do theirs.

I do understand about schools/money as it does feel like every week they are asking for more money, and it's hard sometimes espically this time of year when you have several children at school. However when working with them you realise they really are so underfunded it's unbelievable. Teachers constantly spending their own cash on things like paper, books, glue. It's noy fair on anyone really. Our PTA are fundraising constantly, which I am fully happy to support as it all goes to the children and for their benefit....sorry I get so passionate about school (although I wish they only did 3 days a week) x

Off to a panto today and lunch afterwards :-D

Haha. Yeah I have such a wealth of craft equipment that all I had to buy was the fur and a cheap top/bottoms. Spent about 12 quid I think!
