Well we took Emily to dancing class in her new leotard that arrived via e-bay this morning and her new ballet shoes we bought from the proper dancewear shop in Ossett.
She had a really good session but i was watching her feet and although she didnt complain i noticed her shoes looked rather tight over the bridge of her foot.
Anyway later on i had a conversation with the teacher about it and she agreed they looked too narrow and got the second hand cast off box from the back to have a dig through, she told me earlier it wouldnt be a problem as they would buy the shoes off me and i could buy some out of the box.
Well Emilys new ones cost about £8 so i thought ok well if they buy them off me for £4 and i have to buy some out of the box so long as they are comfy it doesnt matter.
So she comes with this box holding up two dirty worn pairs of dance slippers and started trying them on Emily whos face lit up straight away because they fit like comfy old slippers, even tho they were very worn i said ok how much are they, she said "just £5" i thought cheeky mare but never mind and gave her the fiver, she then scooped up Emilys new ones off the floor and said "i will pop these ones in the box then for another little girl that they might fit.." and dissapeared with them...
Me and mum looked at each other in shock, we were surrounded by all the toffy nosed parents in the tea bar, it was all very arkward and embarasing so i said lets just get out of here and i wont be coming back!
Anyway mum to the rescue! we got outside and mum had a good look at the shoes and after picking off an old boiled sweet my mum was very cross and went marching back in to give them what for, she came back out with Emilys new ballet shoes and my £5 and gave them the filthy cast offs back...
We wont be going back!
