Does anyone else have a 5 year old (or a young child in general) running around the house tonight screaming?

Do you not just feel like screaming "GET TO BED!!!!!!!!"

I'm on the verge of it! I'm dying to send her back to school. Gah. She's got a whole 40 minutes til bedtime, I might have had her drawn and quarted before then. GAHHHH

ETA: HALF EIGHT. I've just heard her announce to someone her bedtimes half eight tonight? WHY? Because she's had half an hour added to her half seven bedtime because its the holidays, and because her weekend bedtime is normally eight o clock, she's allowed half an hour extra onto that! GAHHHH THAT'S OVER AN HOUR!

E(again)TA: And she's just turned a *ahem* 'adult' channel on the television. I've never ran so fast!

    Why don't you both justput the clocks forward .. surely they can't tell the time yet?

    Umm....if they can't tell the time then putting the clock forward doesn't exactly accomplish much.......

    You could turn them back once your child is in bed?

    Any time I'm at work in the evening, and see a kid running to me asking for the millionth time "how much is this?", I think "shouldn't you be in bed by now?". I asked that question to one a few days ago, whom rather honestly said yes.

    Yes. Though he's nowhere near as memorable as one particular kid. This blonde-haired boy, no older than six, came to the till one night with a toy gun. He asked how much it was, then said he wanted to buy it. At the time, a bloke called Neil was serving, whilst I stood nearby watching. Neil said "that's £6.99 then, please, mate" before the boy says "I've only got invinsible money".

    Everyone who was watching this was trying desperately not to laugh as the boy tried to persuade Neil that he should accept invisible money. Once the boy left the shop, we all collapsed in laughter!

    Ha and I'd get "No they don't cuz I'm still up and I'm staying up late!"

    Nah she's in bed 'poorly' (too many sweets) tonight so it's OK. Fast asleep as well.

    And Em, I wont let him get you. He's scared of my car (as am I sometimes) I reckon. And it makes him think of food :D

    Only trouble is, when the shop opens 8am the following morning, you see the same kids coming in to buy the first of about three million bars of sweets.
