Well Joe's prom has finally arrived.
For all of you with young children let me warn you, it's a costly affair.
first there is the ticket at £20.00.... not bad, until you read the dress code!
Black Tuxedo suit and dress shirt. Well I scoured ebay on a daily basis looking for a suitable second hand outfit. (after all it's for one night only and joe is growing by the day, so it'll not fit him next time he needs it.)
i did find one, but only remembered that the auction was due to finish 5 minutes after it HAD FINISHED!
So I looked at hire proces £75.00 + deposit. including three visits to the store, one for fitting, one to pick it up and one to take it back.
In the end last Saturday morning i went on ebay and contacted a wonderful company who sent me out a complete package of barnd new suit, dress shirt, bow tie and cufflinks.
it arrived last Tuesday morning and is absolutly fabulous quality etc (especially for only £99.00)
Tomorrow morning I shall stick it back on Ebay and hope to recoup some of the money.
Now the one issue I have is that I spent all day looking for the ticket. Joe gave it to me for safekeeping hahaha!
Couldn't find it anywhere so I've had to send a groveling note to the school to have another issued!
Just got to supply him with drink money (non alchoholic of course!)
For some of the kids, they are going in Limo's at another £40.00 each. Joes going in our trusty toyota! got to draw the line somewhere.
For the girls they of course want beautiful ball gowns, tiaras and elaborate hairstyles.
So this warning is to all you with younger children.... GET SAVING NOW!!!
