Valli, they will be fine (if slightly grossed out at the thought) about you having someone stay over. All you have to say is that you have invited him over just for the weekend. If they ask where he will be sleeping, a 'look' usually suffices. [NOT that it's a regular occurrence HERE!]
But be prepared on Sunday morning, when you are making two cups of tea to take back upstairs, to get a bit of stick from the little darlings. If they still look a bit unsure, I find that a rapid application of Bacon Sarnie cures most suspicions.
Oooh. More bass practice. My hands are getting much stronger - and the lovely callouses are beginning to build up on my fingertips. I'm surprised I can do this, but it's fun.
CBA to fly. Helped DD2 do her room yesterday evening. She has a floor!!! :eek:I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll
