  • LOL - will he be able to sit through it in January next year...:D

    Joan Collins is doing the panto in Brum, as well as Nigel Havers, Julian Clary and Keith Harris and Orville (:cool:)

    I guess I could buy the tickets and then if Benjamin isn't ready we can take one of DSS's mates.

    Decisions, decisions!! No cheaper for kids either, which pees me off!

    Any thoughts on what age kids are able to go to a pantomime?

    We go to panto every year and I pointblank refused to take K at Christmas there as he was 2.5 mths and our seats were front row centre!
    This year MIL has booked us a box so we can take him and he can wriggle as much as he likes without distubing anyone else. He will be 14.5 mths by then (:eek:)

    Ooo - I would LURVE a box!! I keep saying to hubby that I would love a box but he doesn't listen LOL


    Benjamin will be 22 months when I am thinking of going. Thing is, even if I book him a seat he won't be able to sit on it because he will need to be on one of our knees.

    Will have a chat with hubby tonight, it is a lot of money to waste, even with our 'friends' discount.

    Thanks Bruno & Tara, i will ring ebay if she doesn't play ball.

    MFD i took my DS to see Cinderella panto and also CBeebies live when he was 3 and he was fine. Any younger and he'd have been bored.com.

    Amber's finally had a poo. Been waiting a few days but i knew it'd be a bad one cos of weaning. And omg i totally underestimated the stench _pale__pale_ However the dog was obsessively sniffing around and then licked the changing mat afterwards. MINGER!!!

    You think i'd know that, having gotten married in june! (omg almost 2 yrs now!! :eek:)
    lol, I know me too! 3wks 1 day until our 2yr one:D

    Beenie I think i'm too late ? but I would check ebay rules and if it is clear she's wrong then quote them at her.

    I'm sure it says something in the rules about pictures not being misleading

    MFD - Chris went to see Chris n Pui for his birthday and he was ok because there was audience participation but got grumpy towards the end. I think it was 2hrs long including the interval, I'm not sure I'd have tried him with anything like that any younger personally
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    I think its horribly expensive to go to the panto and it really shouldn't be!! Its our christmas treat from the MIL every year or we couldn't afford it :o

    Were you close enough to poke them in the eye from me :mad:


    Can it be any worse than sitting on a plane with him for 4+ hours? And I have done that 4 times!! And will be doing two 8 hour flights soon :eek:

    Including pictures in your listings helps buyers decide whether to purchase your item. Always provide clear and detailed pictures that truly represent your item so there's no confusion about what you're selling.
    And remember: Never copy or use someone else's pictures or logos without their permission (see the item description and picture theft policy).

    iconAllowed_25x25.gif
    Allowed
    • Pictures clearly showing the item for sale.
    iconNotAllowed_25x25.gif
    Not allowed
    • Including unrelated pictures to try to get people to look at the listing.
    • Picture of an item that isn't for sale. For example, selling a generic MP3 player but showing a picture of an iPod.
    • Pictures that don't represent your item.

    I think it's really clear from that Beenie...

    "Including pictures in your listings helps buyers decide whether to purchase your item. Always provide clear and detailed pictures that truly represent your item so there's no confusion about what you're selling"

    "Not allowed

    Pictures that don't represent your item."
