I'm totally with you on this one.

And yet ... Rosie came home on Tuesday, needing a shower, yesterday's make up still on, and I wanted to clean her up so that she looked as lovely as I know she can!

So, what does that make me?

I think the instinct for us to groom our young can be quite strong, especially when we don't see them often. I'm happy for anybody else's children to do what they want - but mine are meant to look the way I want!

And now I've got to go and see my mother tomorrow, and even severely brain-damaged she will give me a miserable time about my weight ...
