Daughter asked if, as a special treat, her and her friend could stay at our caravan for a couple of nights by themselves. They are both very sensible girls and we said yes. So later I am dropping them off. There are friends of ours close by who have said if needed they can go to them. They have said without being told that they will not tell anyone that we aren't there so no-one turns up expecting a party. Daughter has made lists of how to use things ans has asked me to turn off the gas as she will only use the electric for cooking.
I know they will be absolutely fine.
I also know that until they are home on Friday I wil have no sleep and will not be able to relax one iota!

Well they are both delivered and settled in! I'm back home so it's all up to them now to just enjoy themselves.

Mine is 15 nearly 16. Her friend is already 16 and there is another friend, who mine has known for years at the site it's on and she is 18. The last girls Mum and Dad are about 20 yards from our caravan so there is someone there for emergencies.

Just had a phone call.
'Mum the microwave is sort of creaking!'
'Have you just finished using it?'
'Yes. But it's making a creaking sound!'
'It's cooling down.'
'Oh, bye love you!'
