Depending on the function - I have a shower, get dressed, make sure my hair (which is short, so doesn't take any work) is dry, perhaps put on a little makeup (mascara only) and maybe some lipstick and we are out the door.
The strategy being that the longer we take to get out the door, the harder it is for the kids.

Re: A strange thought
Maybe, but the Voyager girls want hair straighteners. And there's nothing to stop Mr V buying Mrs V bubble bath as well. Not that I wish to add to your expense, Eddie.

If my husband gave me beauty products - I'd tell him to shove them where the sun don't shine. Now some now bubble bath so we can take a bath together would be a different matter entirely.

That way they will have them all bought and paid for when the big move actually happens. ( To Vancouver and beyond )
Good thinking Rhodes

I understand from friends that teenagers can be difficult sometimes to buy for.

Re: A strange thought
Benedict is a bit obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine, and he often pretends to be one of the engines. Occasionally, we get things like "Engines don't wear coats, silly!" and similar comments. Often when I collect him from school, I have to be Gordon, and he is Henry. Difficult to describe, really...

Re: A strange thought
It will be the voltage rather than the altitude, I think.
