It also depend on the tv at ours; if it's Bill Bailey/Bill Oddie/any pathology programme you have no chance of shifting her off the sofa !

I dont think your being unreasonable willow mine have always been early to bed when its school .. luckily for me my daughter has never contested it and now shes left school i leave it up to her and sometimes she still pops herself off to bed at 9 ish .. but she is drifting closer to eleven now . but i think that will change a bit when she starts college..

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

I dont think that times unreasonable Willow, mine are little yet but the baby goes at 6pm and the 5yr old goes at 7pm, bedtime for her is when we say it is regardless of daylight its worked so far but probably wont last for much longer.
