 $1400 for a dress?! *Faints* Our dances weren't very big...at all... Did you have those awful school discoes in primary school and the first years of secondary? I remember going to my year eight one thinking I looked amazing. I probably didn't. I wore a pink minidress with sequns on it. |

Whoah. Let me just look that up on currency converter. Actually the exchange rate's 1 dollar to O.5 pounds so I guess it's £500 or something... a less scary figure. Still loads though, no wonder they're making such a big deal of it on the show. I thought they were all supposed to be skint..? Ah I won't go down that line of conversation, I guess.
Sounds fun though.

oh this was more then a dance, i dunno most schools that arent in the city do the deb...
sophie, i almost passed out when my auntie told me how much it cost, she's like "DO NOT TELL YOUR UNCLE"
which seems kinda silly with neighbours because i know that erinsborough is meant to be a country town or something, but its based in Vermont South in real life, and Vermont South is s suburb....
we did have school disco's, we had one i think in grade 3, 4, 5, 6 and year 7 and 8....then we had the op shop formal in year 9 where we had to either borrow a dress or buy it from the op shop, thank god i have an older sister with fashion sense, so i borrowed hers....
in year 10 we had a formal at the year 10 conference
in year 11 we had the year 11/12 formal in April and the deb
neighbours really doesnt make sense sometimes though kate lol

Yeah...they all have very deep pockets, the only one of them who had a job before Bridget got pregnant was Bridget, and yet, they were constantly buying each other rounds of milkshakes and mufins! How much pocket money were they meant to get?
And now they can afford to go off to a deb?
I know I just totally went back on my point...but it is stupid..

haha....i wonder all the time about Donna, both her dad's deserted her, her mother hates her, so where does she get money from? is it Elle? it definately wouldnt be Paul...
Declans another case of WTF....like Rebecca never had money until she met Paul, yet that was still Paul's money anyway so how does she support Declan and India?

DECLAN'S P.O.V
Having two daughters is hard work....or rather a daughter and a niece, although this is what it will be like soon once Peanut's born.
"Chloe!" I yelled at she ran forward into the elevator, "Wait for me".
"No Uncie Declan, I get to Auntie Didgie by myself!" Chloe shouted back trying to reach for the buttons, thankfully i got in before she could press one.
"No fair Uncie Declan!" Chloe sat on the floor of the elevator and pouted.
"Dont do that, your face will change" I said sounding like my mother, and thinking at the same time 'Oh god i've become such a dad'.
"Come on!" I tried to pick up Chloe who was kicking out away from me whilst at the same time India was screaming, i could feel the stares that we were producing so i sat next to Chloe with India on my lap, "Ok we'll stay in the elevator then, we wont go visit Auntie Bridget" so we sat and the elevator went down to the first floor where a couple came on, both shooking me questioning looks to which i jerked my head at Chloe.
I think we stayed on the lift a good half an hour, a couple of times i heard people mutter, "Young father, two kids, nothing but a big kid himself, rinding the elevator all day".
"Uncie Declan i'm hungry" Chloe told me eventually.
I looked at her, "But dont you want to sit and ride the elevator?" i asked smirking.
"No i want some food" Chloe told me.
"Then we'll stop and get some, but only if you promise to behave in the hospital" I told her.
Chloe nodded, "Yes Uncie Declan, now can we get some food?".
I took Chloe's hand and lead her to the cafe where i bought her a sandwich and juice, i decided to buy some of Bridget's favourites, knowing she'd kill me if she saw i bought our niece food and not her.
BRIDGET'S P.O.V
"Your husband is riding the elevator" Nurse Julie told me coming in to check my blood pressure.
"He's what?" I tried not to laugh.
"I just came from there, he's got a 2 year old girl and your daughter with him" She told me.
"Oh Chloe, why the heck is he riding the elevator and not visiting me?" I wandered outloud.
"Hey Hey!" Declan came in with a bag full of what i could see, chocolate.
"Hey!" I reached out for India who kissed me on the cheek as i hugged her.
"Auntie Bridget, Uncie Declan told me i have to behave or he wont feed me" Chloe told me hopping up on the chair.
"you liar!" Declan took Chloe from the chair and tickled her.
"Hey, i thought we'd find you guys here!" Oliver walked in with Carmella, both grinning broadly.
"So?" Declan asked.
"We'll tell you at dinner tonight, it's at our house" Oliver told Declan, "Bridget can you?".
"yes Dec, Nurse Julie just told me that i can come out for day trips!" I cried happily to him.
Declan bit his lip, i dont know why though.
DECLAN'S P.O.V
"Oh crap" I thought when Bridget told me, "the house is filthy she's going to skin me alive".

DECLAN'S P.O.V
"One day, i am going to kill you Declan Napier" Bridget sighed looking around the living room.
One of our couches had been pushed around so that it had better access to the tv which i had spent hours sitting in front of and playing guitar hero with Ringo on. We had a few chip packets scattered around the room, plus a wet towel...no recollection of how that got there...maybe India dragged it out... I had attempted some homework so some of our school books were scattered in various places, five bottles of beer sat empty above the heater....and India's bright pink toys lay abandoned.
Bridget shot off to the kitchen and yelled "DECLAN NAPIER!".
I walked in after her, afraid of what i might see in there, there was dirty dishes, empty chinese resturant containters, a couple of India's empty baby food jars were on the floor under her high chair, a load of washing was actually sitting on the table and....
"And that's the load of washing i did before i even left for hospital" Bridget pointed and i closed my eyes ready for the screaming, i learnt a year ago that you cannot under any circumstances get on the bad side of a pregnant woman. I got no screams though, Bridget shot off to our bedroom. I followed her slowly, India still in my arms but eager to get down to her toys, i put her on the floor and followed Bridget into the bedroom.
"I find it amazing..the only room in this house that is actually clean is your bedroom" Bridget sighed looking at our bed which was made and the spotless floors.
"I like to keep a clean room" I said trying to lighten the mood.
"Obviously..anyway Declan, i want this house cleaned up by tonight or else!" Bridget pointed her finger at me and glared.
I nodded.
"I'm taking India for a walk, might go visit your mum, and if you dont want me to tell her what a state this house is in i suggest you clean quickly" Bridget threatened.
My stomach plummeted at the thought of mum knowing how messy i had been with my house and i nodded at Bridget, "Ok princess".
"Dont call me Princess when i'm annoyed at you" Bridget walked out.
I stood for a few moments until i heard the front door close before opening up my phone and dialing a number.
