Now that dp is working from home dd can start her dance classes again. She wants to do something like disco, jazz or something modern.

She has been doing ballet and tap for a few years already.

Im on the Camp T&P but lived in Blandford itself from 16 off and on.

hehe I knnow here you live [stalker notice]

twinsetandpearls · 31/07/2008 16:39

lol it may be me doing the stalking as I will have no friends when we move.

Is the road ok, we got the house by only looking at the picture. I really like the house internally and the view but the external of the house is not really my cup of tea and a few of the gardens let the road down.

Pop into your nearest dance shop and ask in there.I know our local dance shop keeps information on all the local dance schools so they kow what uniforms to stock.

twinsetandpearls · 21/09/2008 09:54

I know where I want her to go just not got round to doing it yet [bad mummy emoticon] To my credit I have organised a saturday club, horse riding, brownies and guitar lessons.

Are you sure she will have time to dance too!
My oldest daughter used to do something everything night but when the little ones came along I though enough is enough its one thing only, plus I couldn't afford it.
Horse riding is great though.Brownies is good too, not usually that expensive once you have bought the uniform too.
My oldest used to do dancing, gymnastics, brownies, horse riding and football.Looking back I am now wondering where I ofund the time or the money!

Dance shop {rofl}

Blandford has no dance shop, it has chemist estate agents and 'boutique' shops, Oh and the odd book shop

twinsetandpearls · 21/09/2008 10:14

Dp is working from home so she is no longer in any kind of after school child care. Her horsriding is with the school on a Wednesday evening. She loved to dance, I have posted a thread before about the factr she dances all day every day and it drives me nuts. Everyone who knows us thinks she will be an actress or dancer when she is older. If we need to drop things to do the dancing we will do, aprt from horse riding.

We only have one child so perhaps can afford to do more things.

We are also new to the area so trying to help her make friends.

TheConfused one I love our shops in Blandford but agree there is no danceshop. There is a sports hop though.

Morrisons opens next month T&P, so no need for tescos

twinsetandpearls · 21/09/2008 10:23

And we have a fish mongers and two butchers!

I find the tescos really confusing and dp loves morrsisons. Didn;t realise it was open next month.

twinsetandpearls · 21/09/2008 10:24

Dp wants to know, will it have a cafe, he loves a Morrisons cafe

TheConfusedOne · 21/09/2008 10:52

Don't know, it didn't used to but they do seem to have extended it, so maybe, as long as they have a bakers, I could never walk to the car park from town with out going in for bread when it was there before.

TheConfusedOne · 21/09/2008 10:52

BTW the butchers next to the dress shop is the better one

twinsetandpearls · 21/09/2008 14:49

Thanks I was wondering which was the better butchers.

Dont forget we also have an Argos!
