Hottest day of the year.

Eldest son comes home from school nearly collapses as he walks through door.

Why?

He wasn't allowed to take his school jumper off.
He had a shirt and tie on but he had to keep his jumper on as it has the school logo on it.

Their excuse?

They have a summer uniform and if he didn't want to wear a jumper he should be wearing the summer uniform (a polo shirt with the school logo embroidered on it)

He doesn't have summer uniform as they did not get enough stock in of his size. Not being funny, this child is in small mens size clothes, he is 5ft 9, but they did not have his size when I went to get the uniform. Anyway he only has another two years at the school, and they can only wear the summer uniform from May 1st till end of July - to me £15 for a shirt (and lets face it I would have to buy two) is just not worth it.

Really am annoyed at this, they could have thought this through a lot better. Letter has been typed to go into school tomorrow, added bonus is I am taking some work up there from our school for the kids who are moving on. Will tell them what I think then as well!

And it looks like being the hottest day of the year! Lovely if you don't have to work in it. A class room of children in a class that registered 42 degrees yesterday wasn't much fun, no air conditioning, a boss who is retiring at the end of the week - you would think he would be happy - instead is like a bear with a sore head, shouting at anyone who comes within a few feet and how I managed to keep my temper I will never know! Wearing my strappy dress today to work - he won't like it as I will be baring too much flesh on my shoulder, but heck it is too hot there and that is the coolest dress I have. The rest of it is modest, just very thin straps and do I care that my fat arms will be on show - no I will be attempting to keep cool.

Hubby doesn't think it is hot enough, he loves this weather, and so do I if I don't have to work in it.

Oh well 3 days to go and counting!
