Laura, $90 does seem like a lot to pay! Ask your teacher if she's inquired about group rates. If there are a number of students going, maybe you can get a discount on the price of the tickets. But maybe the $90 includes the bus ride and a meal, a better value. Can you earn the money somehow? By babysitting or walking dogs or ? Hope you can work it out, but if not this time, then maybe another time.

Wow, that was a really big disappointment. I'm so sorry!!! Pudding has some good advice though, but I know it's rough. Um, you should probably come back to life soon.

Oh, I am soooo sorry!!! But like Pudding said, maybe you could get money by babysitting. I don't know what the weather is like down there so you maybe could do like lawn mowing (if there's any grass, and it's warm). Or you could do chores around your house. Like dishes or vacuming. I hope ou get to go!!!!!!:):):):)

My birthday is on May 9th!

I'm Jenni T's little sis who looks like Audrey Hepburn.

And, sorry to disappoint, there probably won't be any picture of me up on here.

Sorry *smiles sheepishly and looks at her socks*

Oh, and I have an extremely high-pitched scream, too.

I can cause a lot of ringing ears if you try to tickle me. (which Jenni T does a lot, or tries)

 Can you babysit? Dogwatch? When's the due date for the money?

Try asking your parents if you can do extra chores around the house for a weekly allowance - it doesn't have to be big. *does math* You've got eight weeks until the week of May 9. If you don't have to get the money in until the sunday (the third) before, then not including the rest of this week that's only $11.25 a week. Even if the due date's sooner you should still try to find the money - Wicked is really worth $90 if you can manage it.

If you can get your parents to pay, say, 5 dollars a week for you to do extra chores around the house, then you only need to find $6.25 elsewhere.

You're certainly old enough to babysit - my thirteen year old sister regularly babysits for one of her teachers. Ask around, maybe you could find someone - a teacher perhaps - who would be glad to pay you even a couple of dollars to watch their kids for a few hours. You wouldn't even necessarily have to watch them alone - half the time my sister's teacher drops her kids off at our house so mom and dad can be around if there's an emergency. It would be a really good way to earn money - my sister gets about sixty dollars for babysitting for about 2 hours.

Or if you know someone who lives close to you who has dogs you could offer to walk them for a little while every day. My sister's friend Emily walks a dog for about half an hour a few days a week and earns about 40 bucks a week doing it.

Um... I know my mother is willing to pay me around fifteen dollars if I'll rub her neck for a half hour. I don't know if your mom will but if she works at a desk, in front of a computer or otherwise spends a lot of time sitting up and reading, writing, or typing, or maybe has a hobby that involves her either hunching down or looking up/raising her arms (like painting, for example) she probably gets a stiff neck sometimes and might be willing to pay.

Maybe you could get together with your teacher and the rest of your class and have a fundraiser? Sometimes groups at our school will sell donuts or muffins and make a lot of money doing it. You could buy packs of mechanical pencils and sell them - you don't have to make a very big profit per pencil to make money, and probably lots of kids at school would be willing to pay, say 75 cents for a mechanical pencil. You could have a bake sale or tie-die shirts and sell them. I'm sure your teacher would be very open to fundraiser suggestions, as I bet you're not the only one panicking about the cost.

You could have a dinner - our youth group is fundraising for an Acquire the Fire trip, and we're getting parents to volunteer to help cook, wait tables, etc. Our youth paster printed out tickets with various prices (i.e., $5 for a single meal, $20 for a family of five or more) and we're selling tickets to the dinner to raise money. Teachers, friends, friend's parents and your parents, it turns out, are very open to laying down money to support a fundraiser and get a nice spaghetti meal. You could try that. 

You could sell candy! Everyone loves candy! Or popcorn... Especially if there's a sporting event going on. I'm not sure what kind of sports you've got going on at your school at the moment (ours is skiing, skiing, and swimming) but still...

I really hope this helps. If I think of anything else I'll post it. But trust me, if you can manage it, go. Wicked is way worth $90.
