Can't see why not although it's not really a good idea incase of crying, screaming etc.

One reason it might be better to get a babysitter is the cost. Our local theatre charges for everyone in a party including babies. I think that is fairly universal now too.

If your DH is anything like mine don't get front row for the panto! He spends the entire time petrified he's going to be picked on and it's just not worth it. I always get second row now.

my daughter is such a show off, she'd love to be pulled on stage. ds and i would just make her go up if need be!

Is it a ceramic pot? Could you drill a hole in the bottom, take out what you need then superglue the hole sealed again?

yeah its ceramic but im not the steadiest of people i would smash it without a doubt!

My number one favorite thing about Christmas is the pantomime, no-body else appreciates my love for it so i normally get the train to Manchester and have a shop and show day, gives me a chance to go in primark too. I normally book my tickets about September time but i think it depends if its just a local production tickets don't go as fast compared to the big city pantomimes that star "celebrities". Christmas eve tickets ALWAYS sell early though so do book early if going then :j

we tend to have the chuckle brothers quite a lot lol!

If you have notes in and a pair of tweezers there can be another way around it

I'd perhaps buy another savings pot first though to save any 'accidental' dibbing in the money :rotfl:

It is definitely worth it, especially first time, given that it'd a) save you money nearer the time as you'd already have them , b) give you another thing off your mind and list and c) front row :T

ooh i could give the tweezers a go but then theres still the coins!

i bought my mum one off the kids saying 'nanna' and she said she wouldnt use it as a savings pot because she didnt want to smash it. so when she was at work one day my stepdad set about it with a small file on the coin slot and made it wide enough to get the coins out again with a bit of tilting! she was fuming cos he also removed half of the paint from the top!
