I used to have a bath and get into my pyjamas and mum would tell me it was time for bed at 8.30pm. So I would run up the hallway and tell her she could come in when I had one leg in the bed. So I would call out and when she got there I would be completely in bed and she would laugh that I had tricked her (such a lame trick ).

I was a sound sleeper so rarely woke up (to the point that mum locked herself out one night doing the gardening in daylight savings and was banging on my bedroom window and I slept through it - she ended up climbing throughthe bathroom window). If I woke feeling sick I could virtually whisper "mum" and she would be up! She is still the same - if I do it now she still wakes up!
