Last year I had to go and pick my 8 year old up from her mate's. She was supposed to be having a sleepover but the mate's mum decided to get pissed and had been drinking in the house all day. She was looking after my daughter, and her own 8 year old and 4 year old daughters. Mine got her to ring us about 6.30 - she'd tried to put them all to bed early on a Saturday! I was fuming when I got there and to be honest I felt like spitting in her fucking face, she was ten sheets to the wind. We've barely spoke to her since. My daughter was gutted.
This woman has got quite a successful job at Hill Dickinson as well. Borderline drunk. Always borderline shambolic.
