You will LOVE it! I just know it, especially when written by Jennifer Saunders. There has never been a crappy thing to that woman's name, imo!<br /><br />My DD is graduating on Friday from Emma, Cambridge and I'm very happy & proud - I know it's not very British to celebrate success - that she got a 2x1st in Mod Langs. I was thinking what we could do to celebrate - apart from the lunch before gradn ceremony and meal later that day - i.e. just me and her. We had a spa day.<br /><br />So, of COURSE, it must be Viva Forever for us! I think I shall book up and quickly! Embarrassing rash of exclamation marks. Ooops, please excuse my elated fervour! I hope you both have a wonderful and nostalgic time :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514378008400567712.post-79877011485160822072012-06-27T19:41:15.443+01:002012-06-27T19:41:15.443+01:00Hi Tessa.

And I might see you at Viva Forever! because I heard Jennifer Saunders talking about it and think I'll love it. My DD is keen to see it too and has promised to come with me.Emma Lee-Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941667739851280595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514378008400567712.post-308095933130086372012-06-27T19:39:08.004+01:002012-06-27T19:39:08.004+01:00I'm so impressed that your DDs can do back fli...I'm so impressed that your DDs can do back flips! Could they teach me some time?

Yes, Mel C could sing! I took son and daughter to see The Spice Girls when son/daughter were 11 and 8, I think in 1997 or 1998, at Wembley Arena. The show was amazing; we had such a great time. Gerry had to clamber around giant blocks on stage wearing the trademark Union Jack dress with the world's highest and clumpiest platform shoes. She stumbled once or twice but took it in her stride. Posh did no such thing. And most of the audience seemed to be mums like me who'd brought along mini-Spice girls/daughters with them. Such a fun concert. My son still loves them and will be one of the first to see the new show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514378008400567712.post-24514592371612114592012-06-27T17:45:24.643+01:002012-06-27T17:45:24.643+01:00Never really got the Spice Girls.

Not because they admired Mel C sadly but because it was the one aspect of the Spice Girls they could truly emulate.Kate Lacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740768123053869733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514378008400567712.post-49454691421073970792012-06-27T17:43:17.136+01:002012-06-27T17:43:17.136+01:00Sounds a fun production.

The part was actually written for her, but she was getting over larygitis on the night that I went, but I could tell how good she might have been had she been fit.<br /><br />Liz XLiz Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01322513174593505885noreply@blogger.com
