Have to say that no tears were shed for my daughter! Just pleased to see her wearing a dress (albeit an expensive one!) for a change!

Hair, makeup, corsage and nails were all done professionally - all by cash as well! She paid towards a limo with her friends but have to say that the dress, shoes and accessories were all on the plastic.

I don't do hair or makeup! You've seen hair Helen - wash and go!

Limo was a cheap share, dress was House of Fraser (still have it and it fits me now!) and hair was courtesy of my local hairdresser at the going rate. Can't remember how much the wrist corsage cost or the nails. My lady who does my waxing (or did as I do it myself now) did the makeup.

Hi ladies, well what a night! Thank you to Lyns for thinking of me xx

She looked gorgeous and that goes to show what you can do on a budget, her dress I'm almost sure would have cost a fraction of some of the others but she made it fit like a glove! Her shoes were borrowed from sister in law and her nails and toes were done by SIL as that is one of her talents. I bought the dress, she paid for the rest. I also paid for her today and that was £20 so we're just eating less this week and that's not a bad thing!

I am so proud of her brains and beauty it's so not fair! x

Her brother paid for the horse and carriage.

I'm still grinning all over as lots of people said 'wow'

The BBC did film her so hopefully she'll be on the box soon, she's a right poser and loved the attention!

Thank you again to all of you. She is her brothers princess and on FB he wrote bearing in mind he's huge! I was nearly in tears when I saw you come down the stairs but of course I'm hard so I held it in! or words to that effect!

Nobody apart from me had seen her dress or knew how her makeup was going to be, boyfriends parents paid to have a bow time made from the material of her dress which wasn't needed and nothing went wrong, I had a few sleepless nights thinking it was going too but it was PERFECT!
