Unlucky For Some

Oh Yippee!

Joy of joys!

Just what we needed - another teenager in the house!

I couldn't get on to Blogger yesterday to post this for The Fixer's real birthday, but it didn't matter, because I was so busy getting the house ready for the arrival of her friends for a sleepover that I wouldn't have had time anyway.

At one point I thought of putting up a large sign bearing the legend:

THIS IS WHAT A HOUSE LOOKS LIKE

AFTER FIVE KIDS HAVE SYSTEMATICALLY WRECKED IT

...but I resisted the temptation.

And it looked okay in the end, actually.

The Father of This Lot was not best pleased at having to put up a new curtain rail in the bedroom at the exact time that he had arranged to meet some of his posse in a pub, but......who cares?

I have to admit the bowling session and food for a gang of girls today came to slightly more than I was expecting....but the FOTL's bank card came in handy for that, especially as I had relieved him of it before he went to watch the football at the Mare and Foal.

And so a good time was had by all - even me (who was up till five in the morning for two days running).

Happy Birthday for yesterday to our newest teenager, The Fixer.

I only hope that your father feels it was worth all the trouble.

Especially when he gets the bill.
