Hello Everyone- I have just had an appointment sent in the post for both of my children for Truly Scrumptious after I have already booked my son in for Norrie carr. I see from the sites that people say they are the same sort of rating of agency. I did my research on Norrie carr yet I was wondering if anyone is with truly Scrumptious and what they think on them. Help I am in a bit of a dilema now!

Hi Julie,
I applied to them last year for my son and they were very very lovely and helpful but as it happens we couldn't make the photo shoot - if I remember off the top of my head the charge was about £150 (i stand to be corrected) for photos and joining for a year which put me off slightly but they do get work - we met some of their babies last week. Its harder when you have a choice isn't it!

Ragamuffin what are your experiances with a&j what sort have work have you been put forward for. perfumelady/starmaker

julie 4 travel we have been asked to go see cs, a&j & moviemites. am going to see cs, as like you haven't booked anything with a&j or moviemites, i have chosen cs purely because it is the most straight forward place to get to out of the three. my girls are age 8 and age 11 i also have a 15 year old son but he doesn't model or act. how old are your children/child?

ragamuffin how old are yours?

thanks yackerty- Norrie carr charge something like that too. its a shame the ones that hardly charge anything are the ones that seem to say no yet the higher fee ones say yes! just my luck ha ha!

perfumelady- my son is 5 and half and the reason i accepted cs was because she said that they just really assess the child and he can just do a little poem if he wants to, the lady seemed very nice and friendly too which makes a difference. i still are fully unsure if the tv work is the right route as we only choice modelling as he is photogenic. i hadn't even considered tv before so will just have to see what we all think. whens your appointment?

I didn't try moviemites as haven't really heard of them before (i am new to the tv side of things what agencies etc)

perfumelady/julie4travel.....Very Happy with A&J!!!!! Both kids get loads of castings, mostly TV Commercials, but have also had several for films and TV Drama and 1 for West-End Theatre. Kids prefer these castings to the modelling ones as they get to do things as opposed to "stand there and smile". Will be looking out for your lad tonight!

2manypimms......think my son cast for the same Ident your ds is doing???? Was casting end April in Ramilles St and they had to pretend to play guitar or drums?????

ragamuffin- that sounds great, bet u r pleased.

i will see how cs go and then maybe see about going to a j too

anyone at mothercare casting next week?

cyan >> out of interest how old is your lo? just wondering what age group the mothercare casting is for? my DS is with B&B and it's been really quiet. DS did Mothercare last year, so hoping he'd be in again this year

cyan, got some make up for you x

hi bongo where u been lovely, ooh makeup yes please!!!

beacon> my ds did mothercare 3 weeks ago, and has been called for another casting for them next week. He is 15 months tomorrow. How old is your LO?

Beacon>>>> was you DS in the spring/summer catalogue or was it for something else??

Hey Cyan>>>>>>> hope your feet have recovered!!! Will keep fingers crossed you get the job. Glad to hear the little man has been called again for m/care - is it a casting or is it a job?? Seems silly them casting again but maybe its for different people! Did you get my message about the softplay??? I have 9 days left at work so anytime after then!

He's in the current catalogue although you wouldn't recognise him as he was only about 8 months old when he did it. They just used the same picture for the last two catalogues. I know I should be patient but we've been with B&B for almost 3 months with absolutely nothing. And I think DS is looking better now than ever.

sorry he's 16 months old.

he's not the little one in the vest is he?? Only guessed as my wee man is in the current one so I know it off by heart!!! There were a couple of B&B babies at M&S casting last week. How old is your little one??

sorry crossed posts!

Hi yack, sorry not replied been so busy lately, 9 days left yippeeee!! Ok well we can get something pencilled in for the start of June if you like?

I don't have a clue what it's for this time, but it may well be something different as we are going to a different casting location than previously.

beacon who was your little man with before?

Yack >> No he's got a towel wrapped round him. I wonder if it's too pushy to call B&B and have a chat about why we haven't done anything - not even castings. I know I've said this before, but surely an agency like B&B wouldn't bother taking him on unless they thought he'd get work. He's done work with Racsals but when B&B offered him a place I jumped at the chance because of their reputation. Now I'm a little frustrated. Has anyone else been in this situ? He's quite quirky looking - masses of blond curls and tall for his age - maybe that's it... Any advice anyone?

yes june is good for me! They did ask me if I would stay another couple of weeks but I said no!!
Will keep fingers crossed for you and the little fella - when do you hear about the job???

cyan >> think we're also going, just gotta find out details!

Oh that will be fab then if you are!!!! gosh you guys are sooooooo busy!!!

becon >> whichever one of the three babies that have towels in the catalogue your lo is gorgeous!!

Hope tomorrow goes well Izz (the job and shopping!) Out of interest, and you don't have to answer if you don't want too, which agency is getting you most work??? Hope you are still feeling ok??? You must be counting days now??!!
