Hello and welcome Lynne

I count myself very lucky, I started off with 20 days leave then after 12 months it went up to 25. Now after 10+ years I get 30 days plus 8 days public and priviledge leave and I can also build up flexi time too.

Hello and welcome Sian

Read a few more chapters this morning whilst sat in the hairdressers

Managed to read a good chunk of Jodi Picoult's Picture Perfect this morning

Hello, congrats and welcome back

Just read your review on Sam's book, it sounds like another great book. I'll keep an eye out for it

Don't get me wrong there are +'s to them leaving I.e. less washing and ironing oh and cooking and especially since Anthony left less mileage on the car (I was always dropping him off or picking him up as he was always running out of petrol!) although Hannah is making up for that with all the hockey and umpiring she does. It is also great to have the house to myself to just sit and enjoy the peace and quiet but given the choice I would have them back home if I could. Oh forgot the big one - more 'puter time

I remember being upset when Kat left home (a few years ago)even though she was only 20 miles down the road! But we had the hotel then so I was kept busy. Last December my son left home (he was 21) whilst I was away for a few days, I did know he was going he'd let us know a few weeks before, but I'll admit I cried buckets for weeks! even when he popped home I'd cry when he went back. He is loving it in Manchester but does kinda forget to keep in touch so I have to send him a gentle email every now and again. I've told Hannah she is not allowed to leave home lol
