Now that dp is working from home dd can start her dance classes again. She wants to do something like disco, jazz or something modern.

She has been doing ballet and tap for a few years already.

anyone, she is currently twirling and doing a rather unsettling thrust behind me

Sorry, can't help, only know people with children in Wimborne ones which are a bit far, but just wanted to say I hope the move is going well for you

Thanks chocolate, we had such a great time when we came down the other week, saturday is the big day.

Oh brilliant, I'm glad you had a good time. Will keep my fingers crossed it all goes smoothly for you on Saturday.

Don't know about Blandford, but Dorchester Ballet and Dance club is worth a look if you can travel that far. See www.dancedorchester.org.

will look at that and auto route the distance

Is she going to be riding again, if so have you found any where for that ?

Think Dorchester is about 30 mins from Blandford, Wimborne about 15 mins.

Two in Blandford TAP, will look them up for you hold on.

Yes she will be riding, there is a riding school behind our house so we may just send her there.

Didn't realise wimborne was that close

this is the best one for dance

this on for riding

both are used by past and present mindees.

AND ARE YOU HERE YET [jumps up and down with excitment]

That is the riding stables behind our house, and had seen that dance place when googling. Thanks Shoshe, we arrive on Saturday.

Dp said that her school had links with a riding school as well.

Which school did you choose in the end,

Are you living on M....D... Rd ?

No, going now to look up what M....D road is.

She is going to archbishop wake, she and dp fell in love with it.

Yes, not far. You just shoot down a lovely beech tree avenue past Badbury Rings and you are there.

round the corner from milldown road

I am so excited I could squeal

Milldown rd is where all the senior schools are, deer park is on it.

do you want to know about Drs and such?

Milldown rd is where all the senior schools are, deer park is on it.

do you want to know about Drs and such?

By the hospital????

My Parents lived on Milldown Rd.

Best park around is out at Pimperne, lovely swimming pool at the leisure centre, soft play up at Sturminster Newton, great walk around the milldown, and along the old railway line.

email me nanny 475 at hotmail dot com

{runs around in circles with excitment that somebody is actually moving here)

Twinset, I love your enthusiasm !

It is great, we have friends who are coming here for a week whilst we go to France. I was coming up with free/cheap things for them to do as they are a bit skint atm and as I was doing it I was thinking how lucky we are to live here.

Brilliant for your DD having a riding stable behind your house. Is she is excited about the move ?

have put some pictures of views from the house on my profile.

One thing I always do well is enthusiasm, all my reports for subjects I was crap at began with " well she is certainly enthusiatic.

I am a two minute walk from the town centre, on a cludesca that then backs on to fields.

She is very excited, a bit sad to leave the only house she has known and the friends she has had from being a baby but she has a wetsuit and can't wait to use it.

culdesac! shocking typing - it is the excitement.

Am taking dd into the village for lunch and will then email you.

Are you in Blandford Shoshe?

Oh wow, what a view, it looks lovely ! Can definitely see why you are excited.

We did a little photo album for DD when we moved which went down well. She was younger though, not even 4 at the time and she is 9.5 now, it has flown by.

Im on the Camp T&P but lived in Blandford itself from 16 off and on.

hehe I knnow here you live [stalker notice]

lol it may be me doing the stalking as I will have no friends when we move.

Is the road ok, we got the house by only looking at the picture. I really like the house internally and the view but the external of the house is not really my cup of tea and a few of the gardens let the road down.

Was that a photo album of people she has left behind or the move in stages,

It was pictures of friends, the house,her play group etc. She still looks at it occasionally, it appeared last weekend.

Pop into your nearest dance shop and ask in there.I know our local dance shop keeps information on all the local dance schools so they kow what uniforms to stock.

I know where I want her to go just not got round to doing it yet [bad mummy emoticon] To my credit I have organised a saturday club, horse riding, brownies and guitar lessons.

Are you sure she will have time to dance too!
My oldest daughter used to do something everything night but when the little ones came along I though enough is enough its one thing only, plus I couldn't afford it.
Horse riding is great though.Brownies is good too, not usually that expensive once you have bought the uniform too.
My oldest used to do dancing, gymnastics, brownies, horse riding and football.Looking back I am now wondering where I ofund the time or the money!

Dance shop {rofl}

Blandford has no dance shop, it has chemist estate agents and 'boutique' shops, Oh and the odd book shop

Dp is working from home so she is no longer in any kind of after school child care. Her horsriding is with the school on a Wednesday evening. She loved to dance, I have posted a thread before about the factr she dances all day every day and it drives me nuts. Everyone who knows us thinks she will be an actress or dancer when she is older. If we need to drop things to do the dancing we will do, aprt from horse riding.

We only have one child so perhaps can afford to do more things.

We are also new to the area so trying to help her make friends.

TheConfused one I love our shops in Blandford but agree there is no danceshop. There is a sports hop though.

Morrisons opens next month T&P, so no need for tescos

And we have a fish mongers and two butchers!

I find the tescos really confusing and dp loves morrsisons. Didn;t realise it was open next month.

Dp wants to know, will it have a cafe, he loves a Morrisons cafe

Don't know, it didn't used to but they do seem to have extended it, so maybe, as long as they have a bakers, I could never walk to the car park from town with out going in for bread when it was there before.

BTW the butchers next to the dress shop is the better one

Thanks I was wondering which was the better butchers.

Dont forget we also have an Argos!
