...I finally plucked up the courage and kicked some unwanted and uninvited kids from my front room!!
OK...might not seem that much but I've never actually done it before just allowed myself to get swamped by hordes of kids from surrounding streets. DS#1 invited a lad back from school (no problem there)...another little boy announced that he was coming over to play with DS (didn't ask just told me....too gobsmacked to object!!) and then 2 more appeared out of nowhere. I descended on the front room like an avenging angel and firmly but politely told them to go...and then.. the final triumph when the other little boy came back to tell me that his big brother told him he could stay until 5.15 I told him he couldn't 'cos it was time for their tea!!!

Hang on....I can hear another little voice I don't recognise...as I'm on a roll I'm off to investigate... no more Mrs Nice Mummy....
