          God! Now from making sure that they bring back pencils and erasers,which costs cents, we also have to make sure that the thumb drives come back home everyday! 🙏

              In that case, I would need you to make the payment since I do not have a diners card. Can you just print some for me, lets see how it goes. Do you plan to buy all the books from popular?

                    I've just bought the books and got the 2GB thumb drive as well...have to make up the purchases....realise the Maths Builder which is priced at 4.95 on the booklist is sold at 5.90 at Popular.....Hubby had started wrapping some of the books and I'm probably gonna do it tomorrow....I think I'm more excited about this than my boy....
                    Round 2 this friday at the school.... 😉

                      I went to the BPP Popular yesterday. They had the Maths books, but not the last 2 books (which are assessment books) and the Music and Civics books. The rates are the same as that on the book list - only thing they will give a 5% discount on the text books and 10% discount on the assessment books. Hubby is telling me to buy everything in the school itself, let me see what I will do. Since I can't buy the MT books here, I'll have an incomplete set till that is done.


                      See you on Friday....

                        Hubby queried me yesterday why the thumbdrive can only be 2GB? He said might as well buy one that’s larger in memory since the difference is only few dollars… I just called the school again but spoke to a diff pax this time and she said she will get back to me later.
