Hi there, wonder how you got on over the weekend?

I'm just home from Aberdeen. We went up on Saturday, mayhem at Hillhead! My son is at Mealmarket Exchange through Unite so much quieter. A shaky start, he was VERY nervous about meeting his flatmates. He's discovered there's 3 boys and 2 girls on his floor and all seem nice. Saying goodbye on Sunday afternoon wasnt as bad as expected due to (a) I dropped him off at a bus stop so no public crying just a big hug and (b) he's home in 3 weeks time for an important golf match so doesn't seem too far away.

The house is creepily quiet although I am missing him and feel if anyone says anything nice about him I'll burst into tears!

How are you?

hi! Well I've had about 3 texts in total! Seems there is only one other person in her flat and since she doesn't do nightclubs or drinking, she's feeling very shy and a bit lost, but she'll find her way I guess and likeminded people. Terrible at keeping in touch though, I guess I just have to be there, when she decides she wants/needs to contact me? Just as I was when I left home at 17.

Glad her dad took her though, I wouldn't have felt comfortable just driving away and leaving her

The house is horrible quiet
