DD got 2 3rds, a 4th & a 6th I guess that was worth 10 hours driving; but boy am I knackered!

She is asleep & has been asleep for ages. But I'm all worked up about driving in the fog

But I am proud of her

Whoops, should be ok now!

OtterHumbjug · 22/11/2011 22:32

I love that - the fabric of the skirt is gorgeous.

The woman I'm talking about is the grandma of one of DS's friends. She used to be in Manchester but has moved here recently. I can get her number for you if you are interested for future reference. No idea what she would charge though.

Oh, and congratulations to your DD!

2gorgeousboys still no photos; is your profile private?

DS1 is nearly 12 and is partnered by a small nearly 16 year old at the moment. DS2 is 7. We are in North Yorkshire but it would be great to meet you at Blackpool at Easter Smile.

Love the dress you made, when I hear about the cost of dresses it makes me glad I have boys!

edam · 22/11/2011 22:28

yay Katy's dd! You must be bursting with pride. And quite right too!

OtterHumbjug - thanks so much for remembering I am near Norwich

But if you look on my profile, you will see the dress I made & hopefully it looks OK

OtterHumbjug · 22/11/2011 22:22

Katy I've been looking out for you. Does your DD still need dresses? There's a lady near Norwich who used to make ballroom and latin dresses professionally, she's retired now but would like to do 'the odd one'.

I think that's near you. If I've confused you with someone else, please forgive me.

She is 14 (yesterday) & has been dancing a good while; but boys are like hens teeth and very valuable

DH being a dance teacher is a nice hook if we can find a partner for her (lessons are at venue cost & as often as they can manage)

But it's tricky

OP posts:
2gorgeousboys · 22/11/2011 22:15

Where are you based Katy? DS1 has only been dancing 2 years and did Blackpool this year for the first time so I'm not exactly hot on it myself (especially as DH and I both have 2 left feet!!) 10 dances is what DS1 did and there was no dress code for boys apart from no tail coats but not sure about girls. How old is your DD?

We haven't done IDTA before so we don't know the set up

DD appears to be doing 10 dances (is that normal?) & we don't know the dress code for IDTA either
