I need to have help with school runs for the next few weeks. with me being so ill, and now needing to recuperate, obviously driving is a big no-no, but the children still need to get to school.
now, last week and this week, DH and next door have been doing it between them, as my DH has either not been into work (DS2 was poorly all last week and he need to care for him) or this week been working close by. when he has been at work, my neighbour has been going on the bus (she doesn;t drive), but as she had an operation on her knee just before xmas and is still on crutches, this is not much fun for her.
plus, the buses around her don;t do half-fare for children before 9am, so with 5 children plus 1 adult needing 7 return tickets a day (obviously adult going twice daily), it is costing £11 per day.
now, I am wondering wether it would be cheaper to get a taxi to do it, but don;t know how to go about it. I have rung the school and they don;t know either as they deal with school buses only (and we don;t qualify for it being free as apparently we earn too much for the cut off).
sooooooooo
where do I go for this. does anyone know??
thankyou in advance for any help
