    LEJC and Di, hope I am sure everything will go well, your cupboards will be emptied, your purse/bank account raided....

    I have to admit that I think parents should be able to access counselling when their kids leave home/go to uni, it is so heartbreaking xxx

    I agree re counselling....my son is all packed up and ready to go....this is his final year but it's still hard to say goodbye...

    Totally agree. Just when you get used to peace and a tidy home, they land and devastate.

    We miss things like walking to the bathroom naked...:eek::eek::eek:

    We do not miss the telephone call at 3 am... the telephone call asking can they have a lift or them arriving home with friends in tow, them cooking at 3 am.... or try to figuring out how many people are in your house by counting the pairs of shoes at the front door... or walking into a living room to find strangers sleeping....:D:D:D:D
