Really sweet: Matty came in tonight and asked whether he could cook a meal for my friend Sally. So I made him phone to invite her and she's coming on 4 August. She's over the moon that he wants to cook for her. It makes up for the fact that he pretended he'd washed his hair this morning when he had a shower. Normally it's all bouncy and soft. It was stuck to his head, dull and smelt dirty despite the fact that we have some of that fab smelling Aussie Miracle shampoo. He swore blind he'd washed it but us mums aren't daft are we? I didn't push it too much as there will be far more important things to fall out about won't there? Rather than turning into a nagging mother through his teenage years you have to decide on the real important things to make an issue of.

He might have put on some mud or goo or whatever it is they call that thick gel these days??

It's hard enough to get him out of his bathrobe - I don't think he'd ever get round to looking in a mirror or doing his hair.

It won't be too long before you won't be able to get him out of the shower then from in front of the mirror and he'll be walking into a room following his aftershave (even though he won't really need to use it!) I agree, that there will be more important things to fall out over than his hair being washed, or not.
I think it's great that he wants to cook for your friend and I think you were right to get him to phone with the invitation. Sounds like you have "a good un" there TDS.

Oh Liz, you made me laugh, you were obviously referring to my son. Trying to get in the bathroom is a nightmare, but he does make the house smell nice - shower gel, deoderant & of course after shave, no need for air fresheners!
