Would you leave a 9 and a 7 year old at home to nip to the shop?

I dragged my kids to the shop last night after Strictly for milk but they insisted I could have left them at home in front of the TV and they would be fine. The shop is about 3 minutes away. What would you do?

Yes I would if it was only for a short period of time but depends on the individual child, 2 nine year olds can be have completely different maturity levels

I would and have done for up to half an hour. They are very sensible and trustworthy.
