I've spoken to my parents and they were fine. We've looked up the small print and we only lose a £200 deposit for the holiday....but my parents gain the fact that they don't have to pay £900 for her to go !!!!
I will pay £100, and my daughter will pay the other £100.
With regards to the prom itself....yes it's Americanised crap, but to an excited 15/16 year old, it's the best day of their lives...the dress shopping, the shoe shopping, the discussions about who goes into which limo with who, the make up, the hair styles, the jewelry, the fingernail art....believe me, this is damn important to a youngster.
Ive had to trawl through dress after dress after dress on the internet....but do you know what, i don't care and i'm hopefully going to make this the best day of her young life so far.
What a relief! I'm really glad it's sorted and your parents understood. My oldest three have all had proms and they loved the build-up and excitement- and the actual night. My first thought was that it was a bit American, but it's important to them. I hope she enjoys it xx
Oh, that's good news. It might not be, the be all and end all to our older Abers but it is the lead up to it and the memories to be shared with her friends I was thinking about.
Gness....she my absolute world mate. Don't get me wrong, if she deserves a bo****king, she'll get one but she's generally a good kid who's doing well at school and just got into college doing travel and tourism....and im dead proud of her.
