Just ring her if you are worried, you dont need an excuse, you are her mother.

Her plan is to come home tonight after seeing friends and then tomorrow we are going to the theatre and she is going on holiday on Sunday from here, so if she just fails to appear tonight then it will be extremely worrying. Even more worrying if she doesn't turn up tomorrow as have theatre tickets. The show we are going to is something she asked me to go to with her. It is a bit more than just going quiet on the phone if you planned to be somewhere and then don't turn up.

I don't have any friends' phone numbers, there is no flat landline and I don't have the flatmate's number. That's how independent she is. I don't know any workmates nor the surname of the flatmate.

The bits in bold are getting silly. Please get a grip or she will be upset when she turns up.

I'm outwardly calm, jittery inside. When she turns up I will be fine.

I don't think there's anything wrong in worrying if someone's behaving out of character. Whether or not the OP expects too much in terms of frequency of communication with her adult daughter is neither or nor there. If she usually communicates and doesn't then that's cause for concern.

But... if you don't do everything in your power to put your mind at rest and instead come on the interweb and fret, you're a masochist. Phone her fgs.

Have you tried phoning her mobile yet?

Time of next train in?

Keep chatting here, it will occupy you.

I tried but it goes straight to messages.

Edited after last message - definitely something wrong with her phone then

She's probably just been rushed off her feet. Work, then seeing friends, then getting the train home to see you, probably having to pack somewhere in between. That, coupled with network issues, I imagine she might've just not thought to text you yet as she isn't coming home until later. Don't worry

She isn't coming from St Pancras is she? They had real problems earlier and were expecting them to continue for a while.

OP, you sound like a lovely mum, not overprotective at all. My mum's the same (I'm 27 too) and she worries loads about me. I'm sure she's fine and will explain everything, but at the moment you don't know what's going on and so your panic drive has gone a bit crazy. Just trust that the daughter you raised can look after herself. When she turns up or gets in contact, maybe put into place ways that you can work around this next time (ie. I've left my phone at home before and realised I couldn't contact my boyfriend at all, I had to email a friend to get his number).
