I don’t think I’d go to that much trouble for stationery!

I hope the school didn’t ask for something specific (that you spent ages looking for) only to be happy with similar items from every other child in class. I have been caught out by this before – now near enough its good enough for all stationery items. Texts, naturally, need to be specific!

It makes it hard for the parent and child when items have to be specific . Have you tried online webs to see if they sell the item . You probably need to get a serial/code if it is that particular so I would ask the school for assistance on this , especially if this will determine part of the year assessment . Normally the schools are quite good and will offer suggestions . Good luck .

  apparently there is a book scheme running at the end of the year

Hope you find everything you need. It can certainly be stressful!

It is pretty satisfying when you do get the list completed – hang in there!

I’m sorry for the rush. Have you checked in ebay.com.au? They often have products that are so difficult to find in the shops.

Hope you have managed to stop at a coffee shop for a cuppa and break.

It is pretty hectic getting ready for school. I’m sure you will be ok with something similar to start the term with. Good luck! Enjoy a bit more routine once school goes back too.
