Good done son. I wish him all the best for his life.
This space in your house would be a wonderful place for such a fire place. Closed, new and beautiful looking.
Nope never. Half the country seems addicted to it and I have never had the slightest interest
So that is it. My brood has fledged. Son is now in his rented place and has officially moved away from home.
Should I feel sad? I have an empty nest. I don’t feel sad at all... just pleased that they are ready to make their own way.

They claim no man is an island... but I'm not shore.
Sorry.
I’m just going to wave at you all and let you enjoy this while i book a trip to the Isle of Mann.
He sounds like a dinosaur!!

I can’t see the pic? Did you post one?
Good morning all.
So today, I am driving the "removal van" (aka my car) back to Hertfordshire with Son and the remainder of his things. He starts work on Monday.
That's it then. Both children will have fledged. I threatened to change the locks so we can enjoy our freedom [emoji14] They took it as the joke intended
Daughter is doing a course on Otter Ecology and Surveying today ... wading in a river in this heat seems a good move!
That is so cool about the otter ecology course. Those are amazingly smart animals. I wish I could be a fly in her pocket!
Oooh!
That is a good thing as the way I see it, that tells us that you have lead your own life and have not relied on your children to fulfill it.

It also means we have done our job, hopefully!Raised them to be independent and happily so. They know home is always wherever we are and that they’re always welcome, but we can’t and shouldn’t make them feel guilty if they’re busy doing their own thing.
(We may have learned a few things by doing the opposite to my in-laws
)
Hope it all went OK.Good morning all.

You won't get rid of them that easily.......they'll be back regularly for some of Mum's home cooking, I'm sure!
I would feel very proud not just of your children but of yourselves too.
A job well done by you and JoesDad.
You have big and very tidy mice over there!
Good afternoon everyone hope you have all had a good Weds.
I have been quite upset today as I discovered that not only have neighbours thinned my holly tree to almost nothing they have also reached over and cut an evergreen shrub that my Dad planted more than 20 years ago, so I have lost a huge chunk of that too. It has always been a very healthy plant, but this afternoon I noticed that it was looking sorry for itself, which I couldn't understand because I have been watering it, and when I looked I saw the cuts. They have made a real mess of my corner. I have printed off the pictures and will be going to the police tomorrow. I have had enough and what they have done is criminal damage.

Why are they doing this? Does the greenery hang over onto their side of the fence?
Hi Yvonne, no it doesn't I only trimmed the holly tree last week and made sure there was nothing hanging over, and I don't mind if they cut back to the line of the fence but to reach over into my garden and cut the stems is criminal damage. They have had a 6 foot fence on their side of the small fence in the pictures for the last 12 years which came down in the storms at the beginning of the year ,but they have only put 2 panels so far. I am so upset and angry about this. They waited until I went out on the weekend to do it.
They are just very spiteful people who think they can do what they want with my property.
Ouch... thats just not right. Geeze. To reach over and cut something thst large, just not well neighborly at all.
Good luck.
