She’s so happy to be there because she is s so bored of her life she needs a break from it. I knew someone who used to taker their daughter out 2nd week of June without fail cos he was a farmer and couldn’t take time off earlier/later in the year, anyway they used to take her in on the Monday morning so it wasn’t an entire week missed. A bit of a loophole if you will. Alfie was definitely in his uniform when they were walking up to the lodge. Granny pays for it and she makes chilli, bet Beggy hasn’t offered to do the meal one night. And as for a magical putting up of the Christmas tree, you’ve got one at home that you flung up cos you couldn’t wait you don’t mate-why not buy a proper one to enjoy there?!? She’s so busy waiting for each new thing in her life she’s missing what’s actually happening. Those boys are brain washed into thinking it’s the best thing that’s ever happened cos their mum is bleeping bored senseless
