Poor old mum, her birthday was a bit of a disaster, first of all, she and Claire are still at loggerheads, Mum tried to ground Claire for two weeks and Claire for once in her life stood up and said it wasn’t right and that she was too old to be grounded – I can see her point. Then Mum, realising that she was on a bit of a loser tried to compromise on one week, but it ended up with Claire promising not to go to the pub again until she is eighteen which is five months away, so I don’t think Claire will keep to it. But Claire did try and cook a really nice meal for Mum, Andrew and I helped out and it didn’t work out too badly. We tried to cheer Mum up a bit, but it wasn’t until she’d had over half a bottle of wine that she started to chill out – ironic? I think so.
