We took bedlam with us.....four of us shared a double bed and so you canimagine what it was like...two at the top and two at the bottom......wrestling for the blankets, feet in your mush........many a time my ma has come flying up the stairs to 'sort us out'....threatening to mulligrub us(not sure what that entailed, but by the way she said it...you just knew it wouldn't be something you would enjoy).
