OK....up rocks his nibs this morning.....wearing the clothes he slept in last night...you know the kind of thing, red eyes from a 3 o'clock finish....and quite proud of it.
The girls who have been up and dressed since 6.30 are keen to give him the father's day cards they have made....
He asks them if they'd like to go and see his new house. Oh yes please daddy......he then says 'well why don't you stay the night'.
Complete surprise to me. I'm then in the position of potentially being the bad mummy if I say no.
Did they want to go? You bet! A sleep over sounds like fun doesn't it.
Then he says 'Oh and I have a friend I want you to meet' 'Is it a girl?' asks my eldest....'Is it your new girlfriend?'....
Now I am feeling sorry for the girlfriend who has no idea that very shortly her new man will be turning up with his two little girls, not just for the day, but for the weekend.
My phone will be on all day and the car full of fuel, just in case I need to do a late night dash to pick them up.
Right now I'm feeling a bit empty and this house has never felt so quiet.
