Charlie was down for a nap on Sunday, I was alone in the house, and decided to go and pick all the dog poo up from the garden. Bearing in mind we have an alsation and it hadn't been done for a week, there was rather a lot. So, I stuck the baby monitor in my pocket and went out. When I was putting all the nappy sacks in the bin (a good 20 mins later) my neighbour popped her head over the fence. I stood gossiping to her for another 10 mins or so, then her phone rang, so I came back in. Only to find Charlie stood at the top of the stairs screaming his head off and in a right state! I hadn't turned the monitor on.
No idea how long he was there for, but it took 2 chocolate chip cookies and loads of iggle piggle on the tv to calm him down!!
(thanks for starting this thread Helen, it's made me feel so much better getting that off my chest - I hadn;t even told Stu!!!
