Good afternoon all!
It's drying up here after a wet start, it's still very dull though!
I went to the gym and then cut Tom's hair when I got home, and had a little play with the straighteners on it. It's his school prom tonight. They're not exactly thrilled about it as a year group though and are feeling very let down and undervalued, the tweets have been flying backwards and forwards for weeks. It's usually held at a lovely country hotel or a golf club but for some reason this year it's been decided to have it at a Holiday Inn which is right next to the M6 junction 10 in Walsall - all that separates it from the motorway is a bank of trees.
It's cost a small fortune!! Nearly £40 for the ticket, then a text came the other day to say that official photos are £10, there's a cash bar for soft drinks, there's transport to and from and all of this is on top of having to buy him a suit, new shoes, shirt and tie! All told it's probably going to have cost us about £200 so he'd better have the time of his life!!
His friend's Mom is the teacher who organises the proms (she incidentally put forward some really nice venues but was overuled) and apparantly she's moaned all week because the ceilings are too low to hang any decorations properly.
Di, do you mean you have to pay admission to the village itself all year round or just when this event is on? Bude isn't far from Clovelly but the last time I looked it costs around £15 for a family ticket to go into the village so we've never bothered.
Aggers - yes, we do!
