KezT Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Our local paper ran a competition last month looking for "deserving" children to join a Santa Flight with the local Springboard. I put in in for DD1 and DH put in for DD2 (hedging our bets - DD1 is carer to dad, brother & sister, DD2 is carer to dad, brother and has her own disability), then forgot all about it.... There were only 5 places up for grabs and these things usually go to "brave 4 year old who has spent their whole life having operations but is very photogenic", or "sob story 12 yr old, lost both parents in car crash but went on to become violin protégée).... They phoned me today to say they are offering BOTH girls the chance to go!!!! WOOT! Only problem is, it starts with a disco at 8.30 in the morning, on the day after the school's big charity pub night...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tally Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Well done Maybe it would be OK to be "fashionably late" for the disco?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
