We have the vocational discount - the girls in the store were lovely - they suggest writing in ... As it's voting day I might threaten to do so with my feet

Sorry a bit of a rant. I have just been to the Bloch store to collect DDs monthly quota of pointe shoes to be told that they have gone up over £10 a pair ... That's 25% !! Inflation isn't low when it comes to ballet how can they possibly justify such a hike!!! Grrr

congratulations and commiserations all in one haggis - see you in York sorry to hear your news shygirlsmum x

I think it will be a very interesting final in terms of how the judges score the different genres against each other - almost impossible in my (limited) opinion

SP do you (or your Mum) have a tesco club card? you can use your points with redspottedhanky.com and sometimes enjoy them in the boost section xx

At DDs school soft blochs are mandatory …. canvas flats have lasted all year

Jade most of the stores give a student discount - I think 10 - 15 % is the average - every little helps xx On a saving side, apart from uniform I haven't had to buy any additional dance wear except the odd leotard for birthday/xmas.

I would agree with Tulip - give her a stash of money(for pointe shoe purchase) rather than a stash of pointe shoes. DD going through 3 pairs a month at the moment … I just empty my bank account into hers ... At the start of the year ,the 1st year tutor took all the girls to Bloch for fitting and DD then told me that the original "stash" that I had bought were not the best fit any more :/

I think one of the biggest hidden costs is the impact on family life and dynamics …. how do others feel?

Congtatulations to your DDs Regattah and Taxi - Brilliant news Good luck Uniqrina hope you get results soon x

The yumi girls "officially" are only supposed to sell to their school/company - minimum of 10 pieces per season. Even with a discount they are expensive and as our vocational schools have uniforms I think that 10 will be a tall order. It is also mandatory to purchase a fabric sample kit .... It's weighted in the company favour in my mind.
