    They drive me mad Skinty :rolleyes:

    For her first Christmas, my DD was bought a lovely advent book, with windows to open each day. We put it away safe because she was only a couple of months old......and found it recently. It was a really safe place, she's now 13 :o

    Occasionally, if I am visting my parents and my dad falls asleep, I like to start shouting 'fire' really loud. He gets up in such a panic...it's lovely.

    I doubt whether he would even shift for that:eek: I once thought we had burglars..he wouldn't get out of bed..it was upto me to go down and sort it out. Turned out to be kids in the garden which i shooed off, went back to bed and all he said was did i miss something?:confused: Just life as usual:o

    At least yours waits until evening to fall asleep. Mine was snoring from about 2 yesterday afternoon. To be fair to him, he works nights, and his body clock doesnt know where it's up to. Still annoying though :rolleyes:
