MUM & DAD

Dot’s mum. Runs the Com house with a “firm but fair” hand. Has usual mother- daughter rows with Dot about hair, clothes, makeup, going to bed and (not so usual!) spending hours on the laptop. Fun Mum at Dot’s school. Doesn’t know about Dot’s Internet voyaging either. Took up weight training in late 2003.

Dot’s dad. Works at Doggydo’s Pet Food in a range of jobs – including running IT, which he can’t stand. And that was how The Dot Com adventures started – when Dot offered to help him out! Plays in Saturday League football club called ‘The Swanley Park Sabre Tooths’. Tries to fix the car regularly, which usually means it stops working! Fond of buying gadgets through the post. Doesn’t know about Dot’s internet voyaging.
