she really wanted to watch a video, but only tv is in sitting room.
so was i unreasonable.

i can hear them, they still seem to be up.

no point in wasting tomorrow by being exhausted, was my excuse

would letting them watch a video be that bad would have been almost over by now and its not a school night

why didnt you let them? what did they do this evening?

um
i didnt let them cos tv is in sitting room - were i am...

and they didnt ask until 10.00 pm!

and the video in question was Mean Girls................ which i hate

yes but its her sleep over couldnt you indulge?i hate cbeebies yet its the only channel my tv has untill seven

oh no - now the guilt
i said "in the morning"

and they are still up!!!

Well I think you were right. If they didn't ask until 10 then they probably knew you were going to say no and were just trying it on. Sounds like they are having fun anyway!

oh thanks

don't feel bad

They'll be gossiping about which boy they fancy at school and will have forgotten about the video by now!

Wouldn't expect any sleep tonight, from them at least

if they didnt ask till 10 they much have had a lovely time until then.

i am a pushover and would have said yes.
