Oh the elder has been forced to learn the hard way !

Also the younger is about to get her baptism of fire. Two days ago she finally got told her and my son in law to be (I'll have to get used to that) can have enough of a mortgage in principle to afford a wreck of a place they can 'do up' .

So I get a new kitchen AND my sofa back !!!!

Congratulations - that is quite an achievement!

Look.

Both my kids are strawberry blondes...

It's the best my viking DNA could manage given Moira's black as night raven now gone far too grey for her liking .......

But occasionally, they go full platinum.

Like 10 minutes ago.

I currently have three guys turning the best part of fifteen grand of my inheritance into the sort of kitchen they use in the TV adverts.

And about 15 mins ago the Part P guy among them stuck his head round the door and said he needed to turn the mains off...

No problem for me i said, but ask Jen if she's still working.

So he pops his head round the living room and asks the younger drain on my wallet is it ok to turn the power off....

She looks around ... laptop on 90% + phone on 60% ... yeah no problem...

SHIT wheres the wifi gone

That's just so funny!! You just ain't brought them up right JOG! A story from my eldest girl last weekend. They have had a new extension and on testing the heating after the builders had gone for the day water started pouring through 2 floors from the attic. My girl shot up to the attic to a flood and the plumber had forgotten to reinstate the overflow or the ball cock to the header tank. Her husband did the repairs but stood back in amazement that she twigged what was wrong so quickly. The house is 500 years old and listed so it was no small event. I did bring her up right!

I should add - she is also strawberry blonde! Oh and they reckoned the plumber was scared of the bats so couldn't get out of there quick enough!
