I do have some photos of myself as a child in fancy dress that are 'interesting', although it should be said that at the time I was actually pretty happy, it's only with the benefit of photos and hindsight I can see the a) visible white pants beneath the red tight which was the bulk of my hallowe'en 'red devil' costume (I did win first prize though - not sure what that say to you about the headmaster who was the judge!!!), or not fancy-dress per se but near enough, being dressed in my costume to play the caterpillar in the school production of Alice in Wonderland, costume consisted of a wig like David Bowie's in Labyrinth if you've ever seen that, and a blue sleeping bag that someone had conveniently cut a hole in for my feet to stick out the bottom. Anyway, I thought I looked fab, had blue face paint all over my face to really look the part...except noone bothered to put any on my neck or ears, so I'm totally blue except for those bits, and consequently don't look like an early extra from Avatar, just stupid!<br /><br />But on the upside, I can agree that I too am yet to come across any school competitiveness - if that means our kids go to the 'wrong' schools, then great, I'd far rather avoid that kind of school, thanks all the same! OK so L was the only child in a homemade pirate costume in reception one time (well I only found out about at 3pm the day before, and there's a limit to what you can find in even the best 24-hr Tesco!) but funnily enough I was the one who got all the 'ooh aren't you clever?' and 'oh how lovely' comments off the other mums :-DRuthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582000061142846704.post-18149951117896744982010-02-17T14:33:35.791+00:002010-02-17T14:33:35.791+00:00All I can say is "thank goodness I work in an...All I can say is "thank goodness I work in an office on my own".

I always had "sensible" shoes and one year I asked for a v-neck navy jumper for Christmas - what did I get? A pea green round neck jumper and hideous brown tweed skirt. And my parents wonder why I went mad spending money on clothes when I could afford it.<br />Sue xxSusieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817649329697498452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582000061142846704.post-2407313383073344622010-02-16T21:33:04.200+00:002010-02-16T21:33:04.200+00:00Oh I feel your pain, really I do, in between the b...Oh I feel your pain, really I do, in between the bouts of hysterical cackling laughter...<br /><br />Thanks for that.

I thought I was hard done by when my mum made me wear Clarks' lace-ups when everyone else was wearing pointy slag shoes (God, I wanted those).
