The worst thing about having teenagers is ...

... no, not this inside our front door....



... or even this in the shower....





...but the fact that they get old enough to go off on holiday together and leave you.

The house feels very empty - and to think I spent a decade wishing for some peace and quiet.

Oh it gets worse Sarah. Eventually, they are no longer teenagers, they set up house with partners, and you might see them on Sundays, if you are lucky.
On this note of "optimism", I hope they have a nice time, that you enjoy the peace, quiet and tidiness, and that they come back to you very soon.

Sundays only! No way, I will insist on my own room in any house they set up. The mum-in-law from hell, me...

Strangely, our shower tray is similarly littered with Aussie products and other almost but not quite empty bottles of conditioner. I think we should have a hair products amnesty and declutter.

I will confess, Kathryn, that at least two shampoos are mine - I just can't understand why we all have to have different ones these days!
