And a Happy Weekend to you all. Well we finally went to see daughters play last night.. it was one of those modern things.. scaffolding for the set.. and alot of music and expression going on... very deep and religious.. completely lost on my two youngest daughters and my dad who is 85 and a vicar, sat there a bit confused at times at where the content was being gleamed from.. but it was very good, excellent acting skills and a good night out. the only thing was we hadnt eaten all day and had a chinese when we got home.. bad move as it was very late, and i have been up for hours with a dodgy tummy... oh well.. Its the weekend, i can hear the birds chirping and chattering away so daylight cant be far...Its the start of the Easter holidays for my lot... so expect alot of grumpy posts from me during the next two weeks! lol

Good morning Em, thought I was the only one up and about. I've been up ages too, 18 month grandson who lives with us was screaming blue murder with his teething. Our son and partner are worn out with him as he's just getting over a bad attack of tonsilitis too, poor little thing. Still they can get a lie in once titch goes back to sleep. Hope your tum feels ok soon and the kids don't give you too much hassle during the hols. Daphne

Morning Em. Sounds like you had a great night, except for the chinese meal. Have a great day, Lew xxx

~~~waves to Daphne~~

Good morning Daphne, Oh i am so glad those days are behind me... the teething stage was all sleepless nights and grumpy toddlers... though saying that i have 3 daughters at the hormonal grumpy stage at the moment... not sure now which is worse! lol

Good morning Lew Lew, Have a good weekend :)

Morning Lew Lew ~~~waves back~~~ Em, take it from me a teething baby is better than hormonal daughters. I had 3 of them only 3 years between eldest and youngest and also a terrible 2 yr old at the same time. I wonder sometimes how I wasn't locked up for my own safety let alone theirs LOL Daphne

Good Morning Em & Everyone Had a bad night myself but then again thats nothing new, they call me the hampster here but one that doesnt sleep in the day either. Hope you all have a good weekend Take Care Linda

morning em, daphane and lew im up with the youngest - he went to sleep way too early last night - right after his tea so hes wide awake now and has been since 5 am em ill join you in the grumpy place - the next two weeks should be great fun - NOT!!!!!! time to make another coffee - need something to keep my eyes open Lorraine

Good morning Linda and Lorraine, Linda, i am sorry you cant sleep, i went through this for years, still do on occasion.. its a hard habit to break even though the cause of my sleeplessness has nearly gone now i still find myself waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep.. its a lonely world at 3am isnt it. Oh Lorriane... lots of coffee for you... my youngest is now 10 and thankfully past the dropping off at silly times then waking at even sillier times.. i dont envy you at all !

Morning everyone, Glad you enjoyed the play, Em. I just love the school holidays - one more drama session this morning then freedom for 2 whole weeks! Gwynne

Good morning Gwynne, yep it was a good night. Daughter has been told to pursue acting in more depth.. she is already taking at as a GCE subject but the teacher thinks she has more potential... she just loves drama, so i think we best look into stage school or similar for her..

and there was me thinking i was the only one daft enough to be up at this time ! Glad you had a good night (apart from curry) Have a good week end everybody . **meanwhile I off to strangle the people who keep setting my dogs off********* Jac

Hi Em, If there is a Youth Theatre near you that would be a good place to start. Try to avoid franchised ones because they are businesses and (in my opinion) do not have their priorities right. A degree offering all round theatre skills from a good university is better than any qualification from a poor uni or unregistered or poor stage school. Some of my ex students have had bad experiences ........ Gwynne

Good morning Jac, Sorry about your dogs.. hope the rest of the weekend goes well for you ;)

Cheers for that Gwynne, i will look around at see if there is a Youth theatre workshop near us.

morning Em an all xxxx
