Second Chance Saturday with Calpol

Oooh my… now here is a WONDERFUL competition being run by Calpol – a Second Chance Saturday. Did your children miss something “really important” to them due to being poorly? Maybe they missed their best friend’s birthday party? Or maybe they missed the end of term school party? Maybe they missed out on a trip to the zoo?

Well.. this is Second Chance Saturday. Take part and you and your child could win said event “recreated by Calpol”. Calpol will restage the event your child missed – spending up to £6,000 to make it bigger and better than its original form.  AND they will film and photograph every aspect of the Second Chance Saturday for the child and Mum/Dad to have as keepsakes. HOW wonderful is that?!??!

Here is our story:

Red Ted was in the local school’s nursery class last year. To make things special for the children moving up to Reception and to help them get used to “School”, the school organises a wonderful  “Graduation from Nursery” day. Well. We THINK it is wonderful. We don’t actually know, as Red Ted missed the day due to Chicken Pox. All the other children got to “graduate”, sample the “School Dinners” and meet their new teacher for the coming year. Red Ted didn’t. We got to stay at home, nursing a temperature and itchy spots, though overall we were lucky not to get it “as bad as some”. The poor little thing was so sad about missing his big days with his friends and hearing all about it afterwards. To add insult to injury, we then had  a number of play dates cancelled in case his sister was still infectious.
