Laura & CTB Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 My son who's been away at uni since October has just rung to say that he and four mates have found a house to rent for the next two years. The original plan was for him to come home after year one and commute the twenty minute car journey (yes I bought him a car) each day to save on the rent Now I guess he's found his independence and there's no looking back! I am really chuffed for him - he sounded so excited on the phone but even so...................my little boy's leaving the nest * now! what colour to paint his room* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Don't paint it yet Laura....they have a habit of keep coming back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucky1 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 My brothers at uni. He often has a way of just turning up at my mums with a very large bag of washing ! On the plus side - What to do with that room ? A 'craft room - a fitness suite (Too much like hard work) - a 'relax room.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 oooh I like the sound of a relaxing room - or maybe a cocktail bar and yes Egluntine you're probably correct about him keep turning up - * must change the locks* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura & CTB Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 and for lovely home cooked meals Not from me he wont - I'm a terrible cook Cooked a pork joint this week in honey and mustard, the pork was ok then the recipe said "add a little stock to the remains in the tin to make a sauce" yeah right - all that was in the tin was a black tar like substance that took me half an hour and a stanley knife to get out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Sounds like my cooking . I was kind of hoping my chickens would help to alleviate empty nest syndrome when it comes to me (possibly 2 years off ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 yeah right - all that was in the tin was a black tar like substance that took me half an hour and a stanley knife to get out Sounds like my late MIL's gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
