Ballet shoe emergency

16.15 "Mummy my ballet shoe has broken." "Don't be silly ballet shoes don't break...oh yes it seems that they do!" Hence a panic trip to the local dance shop for replacements as the bigger pair I have were too big. £13 later we were sorted, but as the new shoes are 1/2 size bigger than the old ones, I think Christmas could see me spending+++ on shoes of all descriptions! Thankfully it happened today and not on Saturday evening with and exam on Sunday!
