Dancingmom

Hi my d/d is currently at Hammond I have found that all the food she didn't like at home she now eats! I don't know whether this is because her friends are eating it or it just tastes better than mine! She loves the food there and they always have their tuck too if she's a bit peckish at night x

The deed has been done dd has been taken to boarding house and settled in, she already rang home and is having a blast xx

It's lovely to hear all your different stories I was an emotional wreck before I wrote this link but even more so now, the bottom line is these children have worked so hard to get into vocational schools and colleges and as hard as it is for us we should all be very proud of what these very talented dd/ds have achieved xxx

My dd goes away this time next week and I am going to be absolutely lost without her. Since she was two I have taken her to dance classes then it developed into festivals then Royal Ballet, now it's going to be nothing !!! Just wondered how other parents were feeling and what are you going to do with your spare time. My spare time is now going to be spent with my son stood on the touch line freezing every Sunday morning !

I was recently shocked when my 11 year old dd brought a letter home from the school nurse saying she was underweight and we should be concerned ! Not only was I shocked but cross at the fact that she dances nearly everyday of the week and was low birth weight so has always been very slight. My daughter then kept looking in the mirror asking if she was too thin!

I think every child is different and they should take that into consideration, if she didn't exercise and sat watching tv all day stuffing sweets down her throat I would have probably got a letter saying saying she was obese and I should be concerned !!!

My dd auditioned at WL and Elmhurst she is on the reserve list for White lodge and Elmhurst said no !!! So surely they can't be looking for the same thing I asked my dd if she made any mistakes at her Elmhurst audition, she actually thought her Elmhurst audition went better than her WL audition, who knows what the schools are looking for xxx

Can get on it now xx

It wouldn't link for me either x

Aw how terrible c4d, I never realised how stressful and upsetting the whole audition process is, I'm so pleased my other child is a boy and not at all interested in dancing because I wouldn't want to put myself or my child through the process again! Give her a virtual hug from us too xxx

We have also decided not to take our mids place at Manchester as my dd is going away.

Well done! :-)). Is that for Year 7 too?

Yes for year 7 xx

Hmmm and I'm drinking vodka lol!!! No excuse for me though, not waiting for any results.

Ha ha had to read this twice as it really tickled me !!!

There seems to be a pattern forming all dancing mums are turning to alcohol lol. I have to admit I have consumed quite a lot of sloe gin since we have been waiting for these letters! Good luck to everyone waiting fingers crossed xx

I rang them at lunch as the wait is killing me, they are posting the letters out 1st class on Thursday x

No we haven't and my dd friend hasn't either

:-s

Oh my days, this is the longest we've had to wait for a reply. Fingers crossed that they arrive tomorrow x

Any post for anyone this morning? Our post doesn't arrive until 2 pm!!!

Oh i hope it isn't much longer now, I'm so impatient xx

Sorry Frangapani I accidentally liked your quote. I really feel for your dd it is tough to get a no whatever age you are, but more so when you have danced with the same girls for a long time and made good friendships. I wish your dd all the best for the future x

Had our mids letter today it's a yes for Manchester x
