Money update - DD needs new ballet AND tap shoes I'm going to be able to offset some of the cost by selling her existing shoes to a friend's daughter who tried them on at the end of the class today, and I might be able to buy some second hand ballet shoes from another mother at the class, but I need tap shoes *sigh* Brand new they're £17 and only get worn for 15 minutes a week....*double sigh*

Its a never ending circle isn't it?

The only plus side (aside the exciting class) is that you can sell them on as almost new when she's done with them [quidco/ebay or both??]

Hope the ladies had a nice 'lunch' and you get a place on the course - popped a treatsome *if a bit dog eared* book in the post for you both to enjoy!

Aaaah, thank you Fay, you're so kind I'm going to wear my new lucky stripey socks tomorrow when I make the call to the college

I've got a pair of tap shoes coming from ebay. I've always been adamant that DD would never have second hand shoes, as I want her feet to be pristine etc, but hopefully the girl who wore them before will have, like DD, only worn them for 15 minutes a week at class! If they look too worn, I'll get new, fingers crossed!!

We're just back from an invigorating swim where we were pretending to be monkeys, well actually I was learning to be a monkey, DD's a hard task mistress. Her swimming is amazing now, she only got the hang of it a few weeks ago on holiday and to look at her now, I'd think she'd been doing it for months and months. Clever little sausage.

It's also been a NSD, phew! That's what comes of going out for a swim after the nearby supermarket is closed. We can *suffer* only having 3 oranges and a pear left in the fruit bowl until tomorrow, lol.

Hell's teeth, I'm not going to make it with what I have in the bank at the moment - I will have to move some money back into the current account

However, it's not a defeat, I've put a lot of money in there and have done a lot of things this month already (naughty of me to go for a pricey lunch on Saturday, I should have been stronger!), and I completely forgot about how much the childminder will be this month. Silly me

Hi Romylou - thank you for the boost, I'm sitting here feeling like a failure at the moment, feeling skint, fat, frumpy and scared of my evening class!

Karmacat

You'll do great at the evening class, don't worry - and its just the first session, its going to be introductory. I imagine the really important thing to do is keep up with the reading and the homework. good luck with it!

Kittikins

Thanks KC, it's the second class, I'm the late girl, but looking at my friend's stuff, it looks like I should be able to catch up on last week's okay. Well, here's hoping!

I've just ordered the textbook from a seller on Amazon, hope they are like me and send it asap!

Phew! Back from the course a little while now, it's exciting, a bit scary and I think I'm going to enjoy it. I wore a lab coat for the first time in 19 years, we did an experiment I now know what an atom is!! This is big for me, the world's more scared of science person..
