Opening night for the Big Musical. My girls have just left for the theatre (we only live round the corner). Hopefully it will go well. I'm not seeing it till Friday.

I've name changed. I used to be mounting a river based invasion...

My two girls were in production of Noyes Fludde this week which was part of a regional arts festival. I didn't see the show because I was working in London but apparently it was very good - JimJams there was a piece on spotlight about it, and a blink and you'll miss her moment of DD2 in the background. Grin Next week is Big Musical Week so it's all about that now, really - except for the fact that there are also 4 music exams and a ballet exam coming up too! Delightful (not).

I couldn't believe the prices.

The low block heeled ballroom sandals are generally cheaper. Some of the Latin shoes were £40 plus vat trade so retailing at around £70-80

I am in BIG trouble

I was supposed to buy DD some new (second hand) latin shoes for Blackpool on the 2nd!

I forgot!!

I can't find any on eBay now & I can't afford new as she is giving up for a year (GCSEs) after the competition

cory · 23/10/2013 12:56

So did she sort her difficulties with her group?

Bet dress was lovely - I loved the 80's

cory · 21/10/2013 22:19

dd did her first drama assessment in college last week dressed in my old prom dress- purchased for my prom in 1982! Grin

saintlyjimjams · 21/10/2013 10:09

Glad it went well and the dress dilemma was solved :)

KatyMac · 20/10/2013 23:04

Anyone on here (North London way) want a lodger occasional Saturday nights.....possibly in exchange for babysitting? DD wants to study both days each weekend in London Hmm - I suppose it's good practise for moving out next year Sad

KatyMac · 18/10/2013 21:16

Woo-hoo & I bet she was fab too

She wore a long dress on the end.

Apparently it went well. Her friend was phenomenal, blew everyone away.

KatyMac · 18/10/2013 15:41

What did she wear?

KatyMac · 17/10/2013 21:53

School uniform imo

Huge wardrobe dilemma!! I'd assumed dd was wearing her school uniform at this corporate event she's singing at tomorrow. Apparently not. She has nothing suitable. She has an evening type dress that us too long, dh says jean shirts are too casual, she doesn't want to wear leggings & a long top. !

Her friend is wearing a shirt & his school trousers, the rest of the performers are aged 16-21

I still think school uniform is most suitable especially as they're singing Matilda.
