Here today and gone tomorrow...

…well, here today and there on Monday, anyway!
Just when I was thinking that DD and I really must have the talk about whether she wants to stay on the CI list for grammar school into year 8 or just stay where she is, the opportunity to retest actually came up, and on Tuesday we found out that she had been successful . So tomorrow evening she takes off her black blazer for the last time, and on Monday morning puts on her natty new green one, plus what as far as I can remember is the first skirt she has worn since she was seven years old
DD’s current school was not one we actually applied to, but she has been very happy there – we are at pains to explain to everyone (including the lovely people at the school itself) that she is not trying to get away from where she is, but, having been given a second chance to go to the school that was her original first choice, she wants to take it. Her school friends are all very excited for her; one hopes they won’t forget her too quickly.
Now we just have to sort out getting the balance of her dinner money back through the Parentpay system….
