So glad it went well Myrtle - what a great end to school

Foslady · 20/06/2019 20:58

Anyone before Wednesday? That’s when dd’s Is.
Her dad was supposed to be sorting the car - one of both of our friends. That car is now not a certainty so Dad had sorted a back up. Then two days ago said the back up wasn’t available and went on holiday!
I’ve rung a different friend and we now have a back up (mum to the rescue again!)

Ah sorry - thank you all for the lovely comments!

She had a lovely time. About 6/9 months ago she had a massive falling-out with her then best friend - imo the friend was using DD and was absolutely horrible to her (I know I'm biased). Dd has been absorbed into a different friendship group and the difference in her is amazing. She and the friendship group all looked fabulous last night and it was so lovely to see in the official/unofficial photos how comfortable DD was with them - they really care and look out for her and vice versa. I know girls can have their falling outs but this group don't appear to have any drama llamas or overbearing characters.

So, weather held out, setting was stunning, DC looked amazing and a good time was had by all! Some of the DC are leaving the school to go onto different sixth form options so some tears were shed..

Who is up next on prom watch?

arewedone, when she looks back she will remember a cool night with her fab mum cheering her up and it will be a really special memory.

steppe I know, when did they become so grown up?

Myrtle she looks stunning, her dress is perfect for the occasion, really glamorous.

Sorry to hear you have so much on your plate buffy. Sorry that plans got scuppered solitude, hope your DD has a fantastic time myrtle.

Sorry to read that arewedone, we have previously been there. Social media just doesn't help with the 'fear of missing out' feeling. Mean girls is a good idea and Pretty in Pink.

Foslady · 19/06/2019 19:23

Oh no Solitude that’s pants!

And I thought I had had a prom panic Myrtle!!!!! Can’t wait for a picture.....hope she has a glorious evening

Oh no myrtle just what you didn’t need . How was the hair ? Hopefully not pouring down where you are??
Solitude - what a disasterSad

SolitudeAtAltitude · 19/06/2019 15:47

Wow, life can be so stressful! Glad you found the hair dresser!

DS was supposed to go to rock concert in London, but due to bloody South Western train strike (again!) They would not be able to get home/get stranded at Waterloo for the night, so they ended up not going Sad

He was going to go with his band mates and had been looking forward to it for months
