Tonight, Vanessa is due to attend a "Shopping and Pampering Evening" at Jamie's school.
For a mere £2 (including a free glass of vino), mummies can access a range of "affordable items not seen on the high street including children's books, toys and clothes, accessories, bath and beauty items, cards, jewellery, items for the home and much more - a great start to your Christmas shopping (or perhaps a treat for yourself!)"
And that is not all. Hell no.
Because there will also be an on site "pamper room" (think nails, hair and massage), a cafe and a "food room." Oh yes.
And lest the daddies feel we have been forgotten, there is some excellent news for us too.
Because next Thursday evening - a mere seven sleeps from now - the school is throwing a "Beer and Strippers Night" featuring the dinner ladies!
OK, I made that last bit up.
