Well I had two of the little people for the night. No trouble whatsoever. Sadie is such a good little girl and goes to bed as good as gold, according to Joe she is not like that at home! I put a black out curtain at the window (the sort with suckers so you can take it down) and it worked a treat. Joe came in to me about 7am and Sadie slept until just after 8. They had cereal for breakfast then strawberries. Joe played on his hipad as usual and Sadie first played with the huge pile of Moshi Monsters then watched Charlie and Lola on the laptop.
Mummy and daddy were supposed to be here at 10am, I knew they wouldn't be, they are NEVER on time. At 11.00 son phoned and said he couldn't pick them up as he was still over the limit and could I take them home. 16 miles round trip. OK I will but only because I have work to do and he wouldn't be in a fit state to drive for hours. He suggested that he would get a taxi to pick them up but I would be uneasy putting them in a car with someone I don't know. Joe wanted to know why they weren't coming and I made some excuse, he said "I bet they both got drunk and can't drive". I didn't agree or disagree but he went on to say "well that means we won't be going to Chessington this afternoon and they will both be grumpy all day". We had a drink and they chose their sweeties to take home and drove over there after about half an hour.
It turns out son and dil didn't even get home until 8am! So Joe is probably right, no Chessington World of Adventures today. Son is 42 and dil 40 in a few weeks time, you would have thought they would have grown out of these all night binges by now, still what do I know?
I have posted some pictures including one of my new piece of furniture. I thought these were going to come as three separate trunks but they aren't they are together with drawers where the handles are. Spoilt my reasons for buying them as they were going to hold the sheets and towels so I could get rid of a big rattan trunk I have in my bedroom. If I had realised I think I would probably have got two sets and use as bedside tables in the bedroom.
