For a joint exercise, the economics and maths teachers combined to present their classes with a joint assignment. Prepare a report of an actual business’ operations from an accounting and financial management point of view. What you are looking for is how cash flow is managed, what financial records need to be kept for stock purchases, wages, overheads and sundry expenses. On the income side of the ledger, the different sources of income and how diversified the business is in sourcing incom

For the first overnight stay, Edward borrowed a camp bed from Craig for Kilby to use. He was not impressed on first sight but calmed down when Edward told him they would go shopping for furniture on Saturday. “ I s’pose this will do for one night” “You may have to use it for two nights, as I doubt we’ll get furniture delivered on the same day” “OK, I see your point. Better that I get to choose the furniture. When do I get my mobile phone?” “Not this weekend, when you come to

We’re all squeaky clean here
Wombat Bill commented on Wombat Bill's story chapter in We’re all squeaky clean here
Kilby sounds an interesting young man. Interesting can have many meanings @chris191070 It remains to be seen which way the interesting will proceed. @Summerabbacat paints a very disturbing picture of Kilby's potential. -
Upon her return from leave, Pamela arranged to visit Edward for an interview and home inspection. “Thank you for coming so promptly” said Edward “No problem, when we have people willing to foster I like to get the process rolling as soon as possible. I’ll just take notes as we go along. Is that ok with you Edward?” “Of course, I assume you’ll need to know about our household as well as myself” “Yes, now tell me what work you do and how many hours per week are you out of the h

Lucas was undressing Caleb and doing a bit of muscle worship “Oh my god, your pecs are just so delicious, I want to eat you alive” “Don’t go that far but feel free to nibble away” “I’m sorry I don’t have the same body to offer you” “There’s nothing wrong with your body” “But it’s nothing like yours” Caleb removed Lucas’ hands from his chest and put his arms up vertically. “What are you doing?” asked Lucas Caleb did not reply, instead he pulled Lucas’ shirt up a

The local shopping mall had experienced a number of grab-and-run thefts from various stores. There were no major items stolen but the security manager was not prepared to let it go, fearing the perpetrators may up their game if they thought they could get away with it. He and his assistant spent many hours trawling through CCTV footage of the events and while they could not identify the thieves, they were able to identify their school uniform. When he presented his findings to the mall mana

The following Monday was leadership group meeting. As suggested Caleb took his lunch to the principal’s office at 12.30pm. The others in the leadership program were all introduced and Ricketts made a speech of welcome and further explanation of the aims of the program. When the formalities were over Ricketts asked if there were any issues to discuss. Caleb raised his hand and said “Yes Sir, I have a matter of importance.” “Firstly Caleb and all there is no need to put up your hand

“It does make me feel, being elected school captain came with privileges and responsibilities” Caleb said to Lucas. The next Monday morning Caleb was called to the principal’s office for a meeting. “Come in and sit down Caleb, Higgins will bring us morning tea, do you prefer tea or coffee?” “Oh...um...tea thanks Sir” Ricketts picked up the phone “Tea for both of us thanks” “Firstly congratulations on your election win, but now we get down to the serious side of th

Writing for these two is not only a pleasure but comes easier than any other characters. Thank you @Summerabbacat. Playing the Boogie as I write this.

Lucas and Caleb discussed the principal’s suggestion of them standing for school captain. “You do it” suggested Caleb you’ve been at the school longer” “Yeah, long enough for many to work out I’m a dickhead at times, whereas you’re a cleanskin here with no history” “But I’m not known” “Maybe not until now, but since Ricketts posted our names on the intranet I think we’re all local heroes, and Mahaka’s made it clear he hasn’t got the confidence, so that leaves you” “I don

That came out of nowhere, though pleasing. I look forward to future developments. Good writing.

When Lucas told the secretary he wanted an appointment with the principal, she told him he was very busy and he should refer the matter to either his year teacher or the school counsellor as appropriate. “But Miss it’s about the break in and robbery. I have evidence that is important to solving the crime” “And what exactly is this evidence?” “I’d prefer to keep that information for Mr Ricketts” “I’m not sure I Iike your attitude, young man” “I don’t have an attitude Miss

Approaching was the election of the school captain for the year. Joshua was keen on getting his heart throb elected so took it upon himself to be his campaign manager. As soon as he arrived home he printed Vote for Scott Henderson stickers and started designing a poster on his computer. When he arrived at school the next morning the first thing he did was put on his Vote for Scott badge and went around putting a sticker on each poster he had put up the day before. Then as the students start

As Caleb walked down the main corridor of school he could not miss the crowd and temporary barrier of chairs outside the principal’s office. On closer inspection he saw broken glass on the floor apparently from a display case outside the office. The case was empty and Caleb searched his mind for a memory of what was previously on display in the glass case, but nothing came to mind. “Hey what’s this all about?” he asked a fellow student. “Apparently some old artefact found years ago in

Australia Day, 26th January, always signals the end of mid-summer and the end of school holidays. After the six week silly season, all returns to normal in Australia with schools and factories re-opening, while the tourist attractions slow down and the grey nomads take to the roads. All of this of course is dependent on the whims of the weather. This summer in eastern Australia saw no major bushfires or floods, so life did return to normal in February. Caleb and Lucas started year twelve, t

It felt good to write a nice fun chapter. Glad you all enjoyed it.

Edward arranged a party at his place for New Year’s Eve. When accepting the invitation, Justin asked if he would do his drag act for Caleb and Lucas. “Sweetie, I thought you’d never ask, but I hope I can get it all together by then” “I’m sure you will, being the old trouper that you are” “Enough with old thing, darling” “Sorry, I didn’t mean….” “That’s ok I’m just messing with your brain” “Oh that’s good, isn’t it?” Over the next few days Edward dug out hi

“Is that all for now Gran?” @Summerabbacat This was said with no malice, merely an opportunity to end the conversation. I mean, would our lovely Justin have such an attitude?

The signs are all there.🤞

The following morning, James and Francesco rose first, closely followed by Alex. They dressed and crept out of the room. Francesco went to the backyard to do his morning stretches while James raided the fridge for orange juice and offered some to his brother. “So now you’re back, what’s the plan for the year, are you staying? Mum won’t be impressed if you don’t start uni next year, have you told her that?” “Not yet, I have to return to the circus after Christmas to sort out things with

Craig has always had a tendency to be straight laced (except in bed, of course), and as he ages it shows more often. I'm sure Julia would have spoken for herself if she felt offended. Alex's plans will be revealed in the next chapter.

That's a relief

Wow, I didn't see that coming.

During lunch, James received a text message, read it and excused himself. “Where are you going?” his mother asked. “Um…ah…to the bathroom” “You need a text to remind you to go to the bathroom” “No, it was just a friend wishing me a good Christmas, but I’ll just go while I’m getting up to text him back. Don’t want to be rude and text at the dinner table” “Ok, don’t be long or the flies will eat your lunch” “Sure Mum” He returned five minutes later with a big smi
