Allotments 4 All

Robert B: I envy you!  We've two boys, one 16, one 12, both with absolutely no desire to do anything helpful at all either for themselves or for the family as a whole!  No 1 son finally appeared at 2am but still had the energy to wake us with his bass guitar playing loud and clear at an unacceptable hour this morning.  No 2 son said he'd planned to wake us up with his classical guitar playing (beginner level) but couldn't compete with no 1 son's amplified bass :(

At least they've got a sense of humour though  ;D

I'll get me coat.......

Southend isn't a very nice place after dark so when the girlies go out to play I take the phone to bed with me and they ring for a lift when they are ready. I don't sleep properly 'til I know they are safe. No. 2 daughter works in the city and when she's been out after work and is coming home on the last train, p*ssed, that is a whole lot worse. One day she will marry and live an adult life and I will sleep soundly. ;D

Emaggie, I am married and living an adult life, and my mum still lies awake at night worrying about our whereabouts and we have to call to let her know we are home.  :-\

Aaaaaagggggggghhhhhhhh..........noooooooooooo, I don't want to do that but I fear I might. :-[

We leave the cash for a taxi inside the front door after our daughter's left for the evening.

Barnowl, that is a really good idea, I will do that, then I know that whatever happens she can get home, although I am usually awake anyway.  But it would save her from being stressed if she lost her money somehow.  Thank you, that's brilliant. :)

I can't take the credit, it was my sister's idea - she has three daughters!

So Richard, what time did you end up going out??

My grandparents lived in Newcastle, and my Nana used to drive to Carlisle to pick up my uncle and his friends! Probably not at 3am though! I have 2 girls so this will be my life in 10 years time, it'll probably be the only time they ever speak to me!!!

I've collected the strapping sapling many a time.

My philosophy is that I'm in for a late night either way, whether sitting at home waiting or out driving, so the latter option is more productive - and at least I'm guaranteed to get SOME sleep!

Even now he's left home, if he's out and about near here, I'll drive him (and his friends) back to his place...  otherwise I force them all to crash here (I can nag for Britain, you know).

;D

Sorry for not replying Emma, just got on line for first time this week  picked Him up at 2.30 disappointed he never brought a dolly bird out for me.

                   ;D ;D ;D ;D

I am the taxi driver! but out of hrs friends and wife started taking the mickey and I was losing a bomb when busy AND wifes mate burnt the seat :o
So I thought, thats IT. I will charge them ;D
But I did give the wife her 1/4 back when home....

Now when I get a call for a cab I just give them the company phone number.

Not that anyone would want to get in the car now after all that manure ;D
