Just out of curiosity.... Do most of you live in the vicinity of London / SE? Lots of people keep mentioning being in the London area.

Anyone else from the sticks?

HSM, your DD looks lovelySmile

Went to see your alterations lady Spud (lovely!) and it's not as big a job as I thought - DD now just has to decide whether that's what she wants. She is very tired and was saying she wasn't sure about going to the prom earlier...

and thanks for the comments. I think she's gorgeous of course, but it's nice to hear other people say so. She has had a really pants year and deserves a treat.

Canny - prom dress MkII was strapless and a bit of a concern. This one will stay put while she parties the night away. I did contemplate putting a couple of clear straps on the other dress, which she could remove/add if necessary.

Thats lovely Hsmm!Your dd looks very poised.
My dd1's dress is bright green and strapless - thats why it needs to fit properly - Grrr Granma Canny.I think I will have to ask my sister to retrieve it from my parents house and send it back to us.

tbtc · 29/05/2015 17:13

That's a beautiful dress. So elegant.

Horsemad · 29/05/2015 17:12

Oh I love that dress HSMM, beautiful colour and your DD looks fantastic. Smile

Fairenuff · 29/05/2015 17:10

She is gorgeous HSM, dress is lovely, really suits her.

TeenAndTween · 29/05/2015 17:03

Lovely dress (my DD would adore that colour).

dingit · 29/05/2015 16:59

Hamm? HSMM

dingit · 29/05/2015 16:59

Stunning Hamm, when is her prom?

dingit · 29/05/2015 16:57

Oh good littleham, someone to talk about additional maths to on Wednesday!
Need to log on to full site to see that dress...

SodiumReindeer · 29/05/2015 16:44

Lotus look on the bright side, it was a bit of biology revision.....

Littleham · 29/05/2015 16:41

Lovely dress. Smile

Littleham · 29/05/2015 16:41

History on Monday as well. Crime and Punishment. German and Additional Maths on Wednesday.

I agree dingit - looking forward to the end of half term now. DD had a break to go shopping this afternoon as her eyes were looking red ringed and puffy.

They were drawing a penis on the window - to use my son's exact words.....

Ashbeeee · 29/05/2015 16:13

DD has a bottle green duchesse satin 50s style, with sliver accessories, bought shrewdly from ASos in post Xmas sale. Cheap!! Have been looking at some of the other dresses, some are beautiful, some err a bit on the 'sex worker' side of things though and as liberal as I am I don't think I'd be happy with DD going out in it. There's plenty of time for slutty dresses when she's older Confused

SodiumReindeer · 29/05/2015 14:10

dingit DD's friend has a red prom dress.

bigTillyMint · 29/05/2015 13:31

Lotus, sounds like a normal day in LondonGrin though I have never actually seen any youths grafitti'ing in 28 years!

LotusLight · 29/05/2015 13:27

Mine without the coat came back wet but happy. His friend and he had an exciting time on the bus with a man doing a sit in (he only had cash which is not accepted), the driver refusing to continue, everyone turfed off, new bus came.... then some youths drawing obscene pictures on the bus windows and dropping litter, every other word a swear word apparently. Sounds as useful a learning exercise as GCSEs I suspect.

JugglingFromHereToThere · 29/05/2015 13:23

Oh and ds managed to arrange a swimming trip with his friend and has just been picked up by friend's grandpa. Result!
Might go and catch up with Loose Women on +1 Smile Brew

JugglingFromHereToThere · 29/05/2015 12:59

Thanks Tilly - thinking she can be rather fab Grin Where's the Mother's Pride emoticon when you need it - Hey HQ how about a loaf of bread?!

  • Though obviously we have our teenage moments here too.

Don't panic for the Prom anyone - it's all to enjoy and enough to panic about for the exams!

bigTillyMint · 29/05/2015 12:38

Yes, I need to ring her and get DD to come with me for her to give us an idea.
