As the sun rose over the horizon it slowly dawned on me that today was the day when Scarlett would cross the threshold to adulthood. Despite the cheery lure of 'Katrina & The Waves' eulogising about walking on sunshine, I ducked my head back under the duvet to savour my last few moments of denial...
The hum of the Sebo from Scarlett's room, the new Hoover has been a hit with all of us, excepting Leo, confirmed that countdown was already under way. With a mountain of carrier bags decorating the hall and cleaning products on every surface, Scarlett was a hive of activity. Not wanting to discourage her, I kept stump over my suspicions that the new flat would probably not be quite so spanky for her arrival. Ahh, how well we all remember that first rite of passage...
