    Default Good news!

    I mentioned in a panicked manner last week about a parent that had given notice for a term time only child, saying they wouldn't be returning after Christmas.

    Well I typed a lovely letter, explaining that the 4 weeks notice period couldn't be used during unpaid holiday time. I included an invoice for the first 3 weeks of January with the letter.

    Well today the child arrived for his last session with me, chirstmas present in one hand and money in the other!

    His mum didn't question it and just kept apologising that her circumstances had changed so he won't be able to come to me after christmas.

    There is some wonderful parents out there. Horray to all the lovely parents.

    Fantastic - nice to know that there are great parents out there that do understand.

    A merry Christmas to you with all that money - well done.
