Mother Returns

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.
