Age-old trick ha ha.
Except last night dd (9) and her friend (10) used a bowl of flour and water mixture. I had fallen asleep on the sofa so went up at 1ish. Result: thick gunk all over me and the bedroom carpet, and whilst I was getting stuff to clean it up with, the cats had decided it was a tasty treat, and then threw up all over the place as well. Waaaaaaaaaargh!
The girls are finishing cleaning up now (scrubbing carpet). I have said to dd no screens (tv, ds, computer) for a week.
DH was very angry last night, well we both were, but he gave them a good telling off last night. I have had a more measured word with them this morning.
Is that sufficient punishment? And should I let them go swimming later?
