Earlier this year my friend went to pick up his granddaughter who was going to stay overnight with him and his wife. They took her back to nursery in the morning and only then did they find out that she should have been in fancy dress. The parents had previously received a letter about it, but being busy working parents with other children, they had simply forgot to pass the information on. The result: one very unhappy child.
I myself have had similar experiences; I picked my grandson up from nursery as he was going to stay overnight with us. Unbeknownst to me, he had an outdoor activity to complete before the next day. I only found out because I had to phone his parents about something else by chance, so fortunately we were able to do the requested nature walk and record the plants, insects and trees we had seen.
