Today, my five year old went back to school after her summer holidays.


The school yard was full of raggedy looking parents who had just gone through the yearly seven weeks of hell and we all stood there impatiently waiting for the doors to open so we could usher our little bugg... sweethears into their class.

The doors finally opened and three teachers, a caretaker and one support staff were trampled in the rush.


Now, I know that the schools in Sheffield arent due to go back for another week or so, so... Im having a bit of a gloat here :D

We went for a walk into town and the place was FULL of parents all smiling and letting their throats relax after seven weeks of yelling "NO!!" and "YOURE GROUNDED!" and the atmosphere was lovely!


Parents... mumsy and dadsy-poos... Are YOU ready to see the backs of your little angels after the hols?

I can't wait, mine go back on wednesday :banana:

Its like a ton weight off your shoulders!


Trouble is, after they get home theyre tired and nasty and.... its all the seven weeks rolled into one!

My little lad gets frustrated too bless him he's 5 too. He wanted to go back the first week :hihi:

my eldest goes back tuesday, the 2 boys go back wednesday. I'd rather they were at home to be honest - no rushing about in the mornings, no having to get back for 3pm if we go anywhere. I've actually enjoyed having them home :)

I agree with you SpeedDemon,mine go back on the 9th and I am dreading it,wish the holidays were loads longer.

ah, thought it was just me who was :loopy: lol

Mine goes back tuesday cant wait either! Driving me nuts hes way too hyper just running around banging and shouting at the top of his lungs. i know its cos basically hes bored but with a mardy 2yr old and a 3 week old its hard work!
