    Errant son finally rolled home last night at 9.30, only phone call we got was at 7 to say he was heading to (or from Chester) about 30 miles away - he has only passed his test a few weeks and so far has only gone to and from around a 7 mile radius. This morning we realise he has been out to collect a kayak he bought for over £400 - so most of his student loan gone in the 1st week. She he was driving yesterday on unknown roads in heavy traffic with a kayak on his roof rack, having never driven with anything on the roof rack before.

    So now he has 2 boats, neither of which we can store properly adn the season ends in a few weeks

    But at 20 you know everything.

    Super news and I bet you are so pleased and relieved .

    One son returns and happiness is restored a d Nikki and Nanny Lalas hearts are heavy with a son and g.son leaving (with a huge stash of bavaria) .

    You do help Tweets...you always post such nice comments :A
    It's just a shame that they are getting lost in amongst all the APG stuff :(
    Hope you and Poppy are OK....did she ever get her doggie cupcakes? Purdy keeps asking me where hers are :rotfl:

    I would strongly suggest getting a printer though....it would have paid for itself several times over by now :) Think of all those Iams Poppy could be getting :D

    Don't forget your local library Tweets,in my local the first half hour on the computer is free but you have to pay for printing x

    Mhoc I am so glad he is home safe. And yes, at 20 you know everything - it's not until you hit about 39 that you realise you still know naff-all.


    Glad your son got back safe, must have been a worry for you.

    Was going to say my OH is 26 and still thinks he knows everything, and isn't quite sure of the value of a £1 but he's getting there slowly but surely.

    thanks issyc but it's ok i'm a big girl
    I really don't wish to have to defend myself but it seems locarr is the big hero and no-one dare interfere:( An uncomortable eerie silence after locarrs post. I don't wish to bring the thread down into arguments however I do feel i need to defend myself here

    the comment i posted about locarr starting the apg thread was said as a compliment to him but again he uses it to have a dig.

    Instead of posting the extremely hurtful upsetting comment he made (which many people I considered friends on here chose to thank) he only had to pm me or report my post and i could have we could have sorted it out. IMHO his comment was unfounded and if you lot can't see the irony in his comment then:(:(:(

    I have stopped airing my personal problems on this thread and don't wish for sympathy or thanks for any of my posts, I go out to post my finds as quickly as I can and answer questions to the best of my ability because I love helping people as do most of the posters on here. However I do have a slight tongue in cheek type personality, if that is misunderstood then sorry.

    If I have said anything to offend anyone I apologise too
    Finally you have 2 choices you miserable lot either love me or you love me:D:D:D:p:p:p:p

    there was no uncomfortable silence I just chose not to respond to your post which was full of more digs and inaccuracies.
