Dressing Down

WE all know winter has arrived. The arrival of winter also means the arrival of flannelet sheets, slippers and dressing gowns. I desperately needed a new dressing gown. So accordingly at the shops last weekend we asked dad nicely if he would buy us one. He nicely refused! The audacity!!! He then spent the whole week telling us how warm he was in his dressing gown, that he was getting off the phone to go and put on his dressing gown etc etc. My sister gave him a dressing down and said he better not pull this sort of 'refusing to buy us stuff' stunt when we are on holidays at the end of the year. The upshot - I had to buy my own dressing gown!
