The bedroom was a mess.<br/><br/>"Oh no, we are not starting the vacation like this" she told her, looking at her sternly, "I've just told your brother and now I'll tell you, laundry downstairs, tidy up this room and then get outside and get some sunshine, you look positively ill" she said to her, frowning, "go have a shower or something.  If you arent downstairs in an hour with laundry, I'll send your father up." She threatened.  But she knew that wasnt much of a threat at all.  He was too soft on them, leaving her to be the tough guy.<br/>
