    I don't think I'll ever sleep again when mine is old enough to go out :o
    I like to think that we were quite a sensible bunch when we were younger, but I think I may be remembering through rose tinted specs though :o
    I was no angel but I knew I had to look after myself as I couldn't phone home to get my dad to pick me up/rescue me, so I think I was quite sensible. I know my kids are more likely to push the boundaries though as we are able to go and bail them out from stupid situations they get themselves into.

    I am fine, thank you for asking Fairclaire. Very busy with RL including work and a busy household so have not been able to play glitch shopping as much recently, just dipping in and out where I can and trying to keep up. No roadtrips or particularly late night shops for months :A.

    I tell you it's scary the stuff we did for amusement :eek: OH and I were reminiscing recently about a salt quarry near us when we were kids. Obviously it was a draw for local kids because it was locked up and we shouldn't have been there.......so where else would we go? :D :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    There was a woman who lived by it used to come out and point a double barrelled shotgun at kids who went in the quarry :eek::eek: Can you imagine that happening now? Someone pointing a gun at your kids?? :eek: She was called Fanny as well, just to make it even funnier :D:o :rotfl:

    Reminds me of that Irn Bru advert :rotfl:
    Last pic, sorry if I'm stretching screens
