Normal blogging will resume after the whipping has stopped

Normal blogging will resume after the rush and head-spin that is our school's annual Mother's Day Breakfast which is held at the school tomorrow morning.

With the sudden resignation of the Canteen Manager (and as I am the fundraising/functions co-ordinator) I was left holding the organisational baby that is this massive event. At current count we have 400 RSVPs and I am under instructions from the Principal not to turn anyone away. Eeeeeeeeek.

I'll catch up with the Blogosphere next week.

Ooooh! Good luck! Sounds like the sort of thing I would foolishly volunteer to help with - and then regret it later!

It's amazing how many people will turn up for a coffee and a croissant that they don't have to organise themselves.

Good luck! Hope you've got some nice downtime planned for Friday afternoon?

Good Luck!! They're lucky someone like you was there to pick up the pieces . . .

Hope you get some time to relax afterwards!

How much longer does this year have to go? More to the point, how many more P&C things are going to fall unavoidably into your lap?
Arghh!

Good luck!

(my other option for a comment was: bugger that!)

You are a treasure to your school, I hope your principal realises this! And I hope that ex-Canteen Manager had a good excuse.

Oh my. I just want to say that I'm glad it's you and not me. Sorry! :-)

And Rob said Iron Man wasn't too bad. J.T. closes his eyes during the scary parts in all movies, even Star Wars, which he has seen hundreds of times.

Thanks for all your thoughts. It's all over now. Started at 5.45am this morning. 400 people fed. All went smoothly. Now I just need to collapse.

Let's hope you are spoiled on Sunday by your family after that mammoth effort for the school. Well done.
