Happy Xmas

scattymam1

I'm looking for a peter pan pantomime this christmas - I live up North(newcastle ish) and there are no peter pans on - he's my daughters fave at the moment so me and hubby thought if we could find a cheap travel inn deal we would travel anywhere to see it, so wondering if all you christmas lovies would know if you had one going on anywhere near you...if you do please let me know - I've tried googling but have only come back with London performances so far (would prefer drivable distance if poss, London would have to be train!)

???p.s. you don't have to tell me where you live just where you think there may be one on at.

Ok, so sort of getting there.Thing is I tend to put off doing 'stuff' because I think it's going to take me ages, and then when I get going, it takes no time at all!!:rolleyes:
BTW-Anyone know where I can buy chocolate chips in LARGE quantities, I only managed 4 'Snowman Soups' from the tiny packet by Dr Oetker from Tesco.

TIA

Hi Scattymam1

I know its a bit far, but me and my boys are going to see Peter Pan in Aberdeen, our tickets came on Friday www.boxofficeaberdeen.com Dr Karl from Neighbours is the main attraction, so perhaps you are best going with the suggestions in the previous posts.:rotfl:
