Relaxing with our Girls

"Right girls, lets make some popcorn and go and sit on the sofa and cuddle up." 

It was time to watch Pets with the Xtra Factor Strictly Do the Most Talented Things Whilst Coming to Dine with Me or whatever it is that's on on a Saturday evening these days. Daddy Downs Side Up was away, and we had a girlie evening planned.

We'd been in our pyjamas for the last hour and had just taken our lovingly made meringue for the Big Lunch out of the oven ready for the next day. I was washing the last of the dishes and had poured a glass of something cold, crisp and white in readiness for full relax mode.

An ordinary Saturday turned into a media day in minutes

The phone rang. Thinking it was Daddy, Mia answered it with an excited "Hiya!" Silence while someone spoke on the other end of the line.
