Finally worked out why heating
wasn't coming on until after I'd got up.
Went and put clock on boiler
forward.
Only 4 weeks late ...
My excuse is we were away when the clocks went
forward and Thunderthighs did every other clock in the house.
Half term excursion booked!Ferretfingers is away with Duke of
Edinburgh scheme 17-19May and 21-23June, and on a school residential 10-14June.
So both his father and I will be
available to go out TOGETHER AS A COUPLE should anyone be thinking about going
out for a drink anytime he's away.
Thunderthighs
is now quite able to be home alone for a few hours - although he will scold us
when we get in.*
On Friday night I went around to Mrs Mobile's for a chat and didn't get back until well after he was
in bed - very grumpy goodnight.
Last
night I told him I was going next door for a glass of wine with Ernexdoor and
he said "As long as you don't piss me off." !
I know he's 6'4" but the boy is 16 - it's like
having my mother back but worse ....

*The first time this happened was about three years earlier when we went to Yorkshire and stayed in a Premier Inn near Festers’ old friends Mr and Mrs Jaffa.
We
had an early dinner with them in the restaurant across the car park from the
hotel.
We
gave the boys the key to one of our rooms so they could watch telly, or be on
their laptops, while we had a couple of drinks and a chat.
A little after
nine we toddled, slightly tiddly, back to the room to be met by an incandescent
Thunderthighs who gestured towards his watch with “And what time do you call
this!?! I have my bath at 9 o’clock.”
Gales
of laughter from utterly unremorseful parents.
