You will be choked with pride Aimee,look forward to the pics.

LOL.... way to go Miss Aimee  I hope she has a really lovely time Aimee

I feel like chocking her  i'll be glad when it's all over, she's doing my head in

Awwwwwwwwwwww ......................I know what you mean Aimee - when we left school - we just left - that was it. It's nice now that they have a memory - I can see that it maybe goes a bit OTT ........but nice all the same!

 

Hope it all goes well

Awwww...... it's gonna be a mad but lovely day Aims

 

It's prom's all round tomorrow! I'm going to my school one.....and so is Ros. My dress isn't quite gypsy wedding though.........but I.dunno about Ros'

Her auntie has taken it over  (i don't have the cash) the dress was £250, there's a bloke coming too take photo's, a vintage roll's royce, a  limo, the list goes on, all in about a grand

 

In this thread I am in the "phew corner"

 

My daughters prom was a few weeks ago..   the run up to it..   and then the fall out from it..  is all over now.. thank god!

 

Hope your girl has a lovely night Aimee..    

 

if I had one tip it would be to not look at any photos that get posted on facebook from the prom..   

 

what you don't see you can't worry about 

I thought "Proms" was a USA thingy? Seems like i am a bit behind the times. Anyway, Good luck to Aimee and her children on their big day.

I've just looked at her boyfriend's pic's and i now i wish i hadn't  (feel like shouting , get your hand's off my gaughter)

 

Zaphod made me a (virtual) t-shirt for that..       it said "Hands Off My Baby"  

 

 

I want one

I will get him to post it over here tomorrow 

I'm gonna have nightmares after reading this thread!

 

I just have to keep reminding myself she's only 9, she's only 9!! But i know it will wizz by and i will be at the prm stage before i know it!

 

Gl Aimee i hope she has a really great time

By popular request....

 

 

 

 

Z.

Hope Miss Aimee has a brilliant time, I know my sons loved their Prom Nights.

I agree with Ditty though, it's probably best you don't look at all the photos - my sons chose the ones I saw, very carefully.

Aimee I hope your daughter has a fabulous time

Love it  thanks Zaph

I've got some of her friend's on FB, so pics i really don't want to see pop up all the time  it's all quiet at the moment, they've all gone too get hair nail's and make up done IN THEIR JIM JAMS

 

 

My daughter doesn't know there is an option you can select that takes away peoples ability to tag you in photos!

 

I know I should probably tell her about it..    for her sake (& for my sanity)..    but I haven't quite got round to it yet 

 

Aww I'm a bit jealous of your daughter at the minute   I wasn't allowed to go to mine (only one of 2 people not allowed to....the other was my best mate ) and I had to listen to talk of all the dresses and watnot for weeks before it. 

 

I bet they're all bursting with excitement come tea time!  Hope they have a brilliant time and it's one of those nights they'll remember for years to come (for all the right reasons).

in my day, you had a 'social dance' at the end. If you got anything but plain crisps and managed to stay upright during strip the willow it was considered a success

What's that?  Sounds interesting  

Not as interesting as it sounds, it's an old-fashioned dance.

oh its more than just a dance... its an endurance test of balance and stamina

Oh

Sounds even better when you say it in a Scottish accent 

this^^^   ..and leaves bruises on the crook of your arm for a month eh Gyps?

Yes Ahhhhh those were the days !

Good luck Aimee, I hope the girls have a wonderful time! Getting ready is the best part

Well they are still at the salon, so they must be taking the getting ready bit very seriously

 

I dread to think how much it has all cost, just glad it's not me paying

Growly Jnr thinks her prom is next weekend, but she's not sure and is very bemused by all the fuss, like me.  We were amazed by how seriously some people took the prom at the end of Year 11, and how much money some people spent.  But the sense of hysteria seems much less for the Year 13 prom at Jnr's school.   I can't understand why it's such a big deal nowadays - it's just another piss up with people from school 

I don't get the fuss either tbh, i offered to pay £150 for a dress but her auntie offered to buy her the more expensive one and she has took over it since then  if i had too guess, i'd say she has spent nearly £600  it's a sit down meal and then dancing till 12, all that money for 5 hrs. i have said as much too my daughter, it's just a competiton too see who can out do who

  Bugger me gently!  Growly Jnr bought a dress in the House of Fraser sale for 30 quid, and her ticket was £20.  She said that she would brush her hair in honour of the event, but that's all she's planning to do    She had a leaver's dinner a few weeks ago, which was a formal sit down meal, but most people got really pissed, inlcuding one girl who threw up all over the Head of Sixth, and covered her in vomit from head to toe

My daughter went to the Year 11 one but didn't bother with the year 13 one...she couldn't see the point in spending money to go out with a) people she goes out with anyway and. B) people she didn't want to socialise with.

she wouldn't have had all that money spent if it was me paying, her auntie has gone WAY over the top with it, there's a limo coming, a photographer, her dress was £250, £50 for the shoes, fake tan, nails and make up done  professionally. hair coloured and hair extensions put in, the list goes on and on, like i've said i'll be glad when it's over, oh and the auntie has put on a fancy dress party for her and 30 of her mate's tomorrow night

Awwww Aimee, your baby's not a baby anymore

Can't wait to see the pics of all of them in their finery. We never had anything like that when I left school, not even a yearbook.

Still it would have got heavy carrying around a stone tablet for everyone to engrave

Seems to be the thing nowadays to have a Prom - much better than the crappy end of school disco we had 

 

 

 

Hope she has a fabby time 

LOL   the pics will be tomorrow as i don't know how to do it, she still isn't back from having her hair and nail's done yet, she went at 8.30am

I'd better put my heel's on so i don't look like a midget in the photo

 

*start's pacing, it look's like rain*

  Good grief!  Growly Jnr's going on the bus
