One day of cricket and Pimms followed by the Royal Opera House. Don't know where (the cricket that is), don't know when - who's up for it?!

Would have loved to (especially the opera house) - sadly my flights budget and annual leave won't let me!!

At this rate I may be paying double school feels in September so cricket may be off!

I don't know what sort of schools your boys go to - paying in 'feels'?!!!

Still, I suppose it's cheaper than cash!!

I can do Village Cricket.... Will supply jug of Pimms, then sing the Opera Arias... at my house.... The closest to Royal I can get is I'm the same height as Queen Victoria. It is the same idea just the Budget version! For Parents facing Economic Cuts.

Ideal for teachers in the state system concerned about their pension. Might need a pianist if I'm singing and better keep off the Pimms.

Refreshments can even be in the garden ala Glyndebourne.

Violamum! You have shocked me. Is this going to be your way of getting an edge on the other applicants for Tiffin
Very "Carry on Up the Khyber!"

Not keen on cricket but YAY to the rest...

which version full cost of bargain fen (was going to say basement then realised don't do basements round 'ere due to the level of the water table)

Hey I'm not the one paying for my son's school with "feels"!!! Never mind "double feels"

But now you mention it - do you think that it may work for Tiffin?

ha ha, love it - depends on the teaching staff I suppose!

I wanted to apologise to MNW - Looks like my comment ruined her invitation! Sorry!

Anyway, I'm not bothered about the Cricket or the Opera House but the Pimms would go down nicely!!!

I was thinking about all you guys when we walked over Richmond Green last weekend and the cricketers were out playing!!

Matthew had first cricket match on Thursday -they won! Once his account starts to work he'll be around. (so don't offer him any pimms - thats for me!) His dad and I discussed whether he was old enough for an account on here and decided yes he was hence I'm now not hiding his identity.

Can still do the DIY Opera now I have a waiter in the form of my son lurking on the forums. He might even be able to sor you out a junior cricket match!
