So yesterday morning when handing over an invoice to a parent I mentioned, just out of courtsey, that I had sent off some course requests with the council and that unfortunately a couple of them fell on a week day in november, yes you read right NOVEMBER! I said that although I had sent the requests off there was no guarantee until 4/5 weeks before that what course date I would get but I'd let her know as soon as I knew.
This morning, she says to me in quite a stern voice "you heard anymore about them course dates yet? 'cos obviously I'm gonna have to pay someone else to look after them!" :eek: I explained again that I may not hear until 4/5 weeks before and the face she pulled at me :angry: was like I had just told her it was going to be tomorrow!
Now I've already calculated her fees for next term and taken these dates into consideration so technically even if I didnt get on the courses I could still take them off if I wanted to. Also, my p&p's & contracts state 4 weeks notice for mine & their holiday so I could of not mentioned it at all until then but I did so you would think she would have appreciated such long notice not stress about it?!
I think someone has got too used to me not taking holiday, should be interesting when I can actually afford to take a holiday and inform her! :rolleyes:
