Hope you have a speedy recovery Cxx

Ok lil x

Thanks lil... Hope Monday went well?

Thanks everyone I am fast becoming the queen of quotes and positivity this is the latest one I sent to her... 'A HEAD FULL OF FEARS HAS NO SPACE FOR DREAMS' ;) ;) ;) Cxx

Well here we are again Dd is unable to dance almost a year since she was ill the last time... Suppose we are in a better place this time as in we know what we are dealing with and hopefully she will respond to the meds quickly and doesn't miss 6 months of dancing and school again!!! Trying to keep her positive and she is determined that it won't beat her spirit missing her musical theatre exam on Sunday and she her grade 6 ballet in the spring followed by her intermediate in the summer... Let's hope she recovers quickly. Roll on the spring and better weather. Cxx

Congrats guys very pleased for you all... Good luck at finals Cx

I agree billy the buses to Elmhurst are very efficient but remember to have the right money as they don't give change! Good luck to your ds tutugirl Cx

We have stayed in ibis next to the bullring at least 3/4 times now when we were at Elmhurst and Midas would recommend it... reasonable, clean and only a short bus ride from Elmhurst Good luck everyone auditioning it is indeed a very exciting time for you all we look forward to hearing feedback and news in the coming months Cxx

No it's only yr 4, 5 & 6 Cx

How awful Jess and billy... Yes I would try and deal with it quickly it shouldn't be happening but sadly it does we too dealt with this first hand and it's pretty hard to cope with when your so far away!! I agree you expect it to stop as you have let normal school and certainly not with people your ds has danced with for years billyelliot!!! Sending hugs to you both I hope your dc Cx

Yes we have taxi4ballet my ds took so long to pick a wand we really missed the train home haha! ;) Cx

A speedy recovery from us too Cx

LinMM... We certainly knew the difference and dare I say had we made/forced/told (I'm at a loss for the right word) her to stay then we would be left judging ourselves as parents!!! I feel we would still be dealing with the consequences now!?! Cx

My heart aches when I read your posts I've avoided reading it myself thinking it would dig up old wounds but have found reading almost refreshing... As most on here know my dd went to vocational school y7 last and was very unsettled and dare I say traumatised by the whole experience probably triggering her illness (so i was told) for a good 6/7 months don't get me wrong she loved the school and dancing but couldn't cope with boarding at all... Friendships and food being great factors but simply not having mam and dad and coming home on an evening was by far the worst!! Saying that on reflection now a year on we/she are glad she tried it so now she knows and wont be left wondering for the rest of her life "WHAT IF?" The top and bottom of it it doesn't suit everybody and we shouldn't be too quick to judge what direction people and their dc choose to take... Thankfully she is all the stronger for it now granted it has took a year but she is back were she wants to be and thankfully dancing is still her life and she has lovely new friendships too. I continually remind her that her strength and qualities will shine though and that things do happen for a reason and its life all part of growing up!! Good luck to those dc away at vocational school etc and remember to make the most when they are home which isn't much because before you know it they have grown up

Good luck Aly hope it's good news Cx

Good luck at the casting lemongirl... My dd would love to do nutcracker with EYB... She has performed coppelia, giselle and swan lake and has always had an amazing time Cx

Just had a look there is only 4 dates... 1 for dance very odd there is usually more dates over autumn and spring term!! Maybe drop them an email to see if there will be anymore dates released Cx

Sorry cathy just noticed this... Yes they asked about height, shoe size and experience etc and a photo in dancwear... obviously why they were all quite small yesterday!!

Good luck then and thanks Cx

Thanks lil and stardancer... How was your dd's audition today stardancer...Where was it at? Cx
