💐@ buffy. Life can be so shitty at times and always comes in a bundle. Sending kind thoughts!
Good luck to those with prom tonight.. Myrtle look forward to hearing about it!
Fos hope the dress is a winner!
Dd has been excluded from the “it girl” group big party tonight which she is a smidge upset over,but she’s never( thankfully) been part of it but because there is no prom everyone is talking about this party so she feels left out!Sad

bizzey · 19/06/2019 12:36

Oh it is myrtle today !!
I am getting sooo over excitedited about these prom dresses 🤣🤣

myrtleWilson · 19/06/2019 12:37

iambuffy sorry to hear about your mom and aunt... Flowers

foslady - yikes, hope collection goes okay....

Will post a photo later! Nails done this morning... DD was going to have her make up done but decided to do it herself, however when we were forward planning we booked hair appointment nearby to where make up was being done. Now we're trekking to the hair appointment rather than having one on the doorstep... Never mind it alll eats up the time I suppose. I've been summonsed to DD's bedroom to accompany her whilst she does her make up - shes now stressing about her make up being on her face too long

Is it too early for Gin ?

myrtleWilson · 19/06/2019 12:39

We're holed up in DD's bed listening to the Spotify playlist that they (school and pupils) compiled for tonight - there are some eyebrows being raised Grin

bizzey · 19/06/2019 12:41

Phew foslady i thought your prom was tonight! I have to admitt ...i thought the dress collection was cutting it a bit fine !

myrtleWilson · 19/06/2019 12:48

arewedone oh thats not nice for DD - are there any other parties happening that she's going to? She could watch Mean Girls to reassure herself that the IT girls don't stay queen bees...

Arewedone · 19/06/2019 13:00

Myrtle - maybe save the 🍾till after make up application 🤣it all sounds such good fun!
Dd will be ok, it’s just unfortunate she is part of the committee welcoming new girls at school this afternoon and a whole bunch of the current girls will be going on to the party afterwards.
Yes mean girls is very aptGrin

Foslady · 19/06/2019 13:15

Arewedone - thatbis so mean of them, I was always the left out girl on the edge so I know how it feels (bothered not bothered) - definitely have a mean girls night! (Although I’d also be tempted with The Craft - ‘we are the weirdo’s mister!’

Arewedone · 19/06/2019 13:39

Thanks Fos will definitely look at it- we finished gossip girl last night 😅
Yeah I guess social media makes things 1000x worse. Party is for 100 so she is a bit sad. Apparently she was described as too quiet!

Foslady · 19/06/2019 13:58

Oh - just looked at it again - it’s described as a horror 🤦🏻‍♀️😱

myrtle hope the weather is better for you than where we are !

bizzey · 19/06/2019 15:26

Foslady did you get the dress .

myrtleWilson · 19/06/2019 15:30

Hands up who has 3:15 for meltdown?

Arrived in city for hair appointment (early because anxiety levels rising) got to hairdressers to find it had gone. Notice of "no re-entry" in window but nothing else Shock
Walked/Ran round corner to posh department store, went to salon. Dd crying. They were super lovely and trying to get us in. Whilst there I checked original hairdressers website to find a "we have moved" message. Luckily a brisk short walk away.

We are here, she's pleased she didn't do her make up before hair 😂 I am slowly regaining my resting heartbeat.

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

Arewedone · 19/06/2019 16:44

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

Iambuffy · 19/06/2019 16:46

doublechocadooberry · 19/06/2019 21:41

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.

myrtleWilson · 19/06/2019 21:49

All worked out well in the end, glorious evening here!
