Every thing is now sorted out for my son's prom.  The other half took him up town and came home £50 poorer after hiring a suit, shirt and shoes.  Fifty quid?  Is it me or does that seem a bit steep?  I don't know what the going rate for suit hire is having never had the need to hire one before, it just seems like a lot for something he's only going to wear for 3 hours.   I'm a bit wary about the whole hired shoes thing as well, as who knows what sort of feet have been in them before.  We could be talking athletes foot, verrucaes and god know's what else. *shudders*

Anyhooo...looking on the bright side.  My son looks very handsome in the suit and is very excited about prom night so I think he's got a date, not that he's said anything (the secretive little bugger) but I recognise the signs.  Just as long as it's not the Hopkins girl as I can't bloody stand her.
