Hahahaha - trust me to miss the whole point of the question! Yes, they DID go to bed early if there'd been shenanigans! Can't remember whether there was a strict 'lights out' rule in that case - but it seems likely. Mind you, there was often a lot of giggling and running between bedrooms, etc. Ah, those were the days ... xxx | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
