The thing is, one of my little daughters, Molly, is a greater lover of the performing arts. To give her full credit, she does spend most of her weekends rehearsing for various shows and never misses, rain or shine. Now, this isn`t me being a pushy mother...... to be honest, I`d prefer that she eased up a bit, but she pleads to do these things and I do want to encourage her. Its not cheap either, fees for LIPA (Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts) are not cheap, and her sister Dolly goes there too. They both attend the 4:19 Saturday school. (actually it was their annual show last week, but that`s another story). ANYWAY, Molly also attends a theatre group, which puts on several shows a year and is currently rehearsing for three shows with them.
SO, the thing is, one of the shows (which is kind of a GLEE tribute show) is next week in Wales. Then out of the blue, last night, the organiser tells us, due to this show being televised by SKY Television, we need notes from our doctors to say our child is fit and well, and it must be submitted b the weekend.Apparently this was due to some change in council regulation. PANIC STATIONS!!!!!! Notes from the doctor normally take around two weeks not too day.I went in to our GP to ask them could we have this note as a matter of urgency. No chance! I begged, pleaded, told the how my daughter would be broken hearted. All to no avail. Eventually I wrote it all in a letter and passed it to the practice manager with more grovelling and pleading. Then after school, my mum took Molly in to the doctors to show them in person what a heart broken child looks like. So eventually, they said they would mark the note urgent (see perserverance wins in the end).
But we still don`t know if we`ll get this note in time. I`m really hoping it will. Please let it arrive tomorrow! I cant stand to see the kids disappointed like this. I`ll let you know if it comes.
Other news today. Finally got my mum to order a new freezer. My god, she goes on every day without fail about how she needs a new one, but when we go to look, she can never decide. SO today, I decided for her and we ordered one. Sometimes you`ve just got to take control or nothing gets done.
Took some stuff back to Marks & Spencers too. The assistant asked why I was taking a shirt back which mum had bought for my son and was quite amused when I told her he didn`t like it cos it was like one Alan Tichmarch would wear! Pretty good reason if you ask me..............
