Less 'Hermione' and more 'Saffie from Ab Fab' I'd have thought. If your Mum and Dad are being embarrassing drinking, smoking and hanging out at festivals etc, the kids are probably going to think 'not for me thanks'

This confirms my long held belief that if I start behaving myself my children will be led astray Grin So I will continue dancing in public, singing out of tune to the car radio and enjoying the odd vodka.

So basically, I need to start smoking, drinking a bit more and going to all night raves, then my children won't do any of the above Grin

I think parents divide into two camps... 'good examples' and 'dire warnings'. If you want Holy Joe kids, aim for the latter.

Phew. Will let DD loose in the Ibiza, Glastonbury, Clubbing and Friday Nights photo folders and we should be fine. Smile

What's a Stollybolly? Vodka and champagne?
