TV Exposure

DD3 came home from school last Thursday with a note to say that the regional TV company would be filming in her school for a segment on a news programme.
Parents were given an opportunity to opt their children out of being filmed, of course.
That was never an issue in our house, I can assure you... the thought of appearing ON THE NEWS acted powerfully upon the imagination of D3, and she was begging to be allowed to be filmed.

Of course, this meant I had to buy her a new school sweater with the school logo on it, as her old one was shabby and faded. Luckily her dress and shirt are new :-)
So last night, her shoes were polished to a high gloss, her hair was trimmed , clothes were ironed with meticulous care and the usual bath and hairwash was extra thorough, much to her disgust.

This morning, she was up with the lark, dressed and ready for school, and ready for action...
We were told that the segment may appear on the news this very evening, or later on in the week, and it may even make national ITV news.
None of us have any idea why they are filming, so it`s all a bit of a mystery.
Fun, though :-)
And I have a tape in the VCR ready to record as soon as her school gets mentioned !
