BTW Lynne, I'm not suggesting in any way that this is what your daughter will be up to!!! Realise on re-reading it, it sounds a bit crass!! I'm sure you're just worried about a starving cat and the washing up. I just used the example of dilemmas life throws up when we have teenagers. My eldest is just 13 so I am sure, a couple of years down the line, I'll be similarly in need of advice. xxx
Helen, you wouldnt know how to be crass. As ever you are the voice of reason, and sanity. Im aware and slightly (very) mortified at my own youthful activities. As much as I would like to pretend they were not as abandoned as I remember, im afraid they were. As my mum loves to point out, im only getting what i deserve. Thanks mum.
I know my daughter is slightly more sensible than i was at her age, and i just have to hope that my parenting skills will see us through the next month. Hopefully my nagging voice will pop into her head when temptation calls. I pray that the house stays upright, the cat doesnt move out, and the police arent too frequent visitors.
Then theres only the problem of myself and husband not killing eachother, or not knowing what to say to eachother for 3 weeks!
Roll on the middle of August when im back to normality.
