Don't we all know the feeling Caz! My youngest went on holiday to Egypt with her boyfriend. I wasn't too worried - she's a sensible girl. Tried phoning her once - no credit on her phone!! Her boyfriends mother tried phoning the hotel they were staying at - no record of them staying there!! BF's mother started panicking. I tried not to - after all no news is good news!! When they arrived home (late) it transpired they had run out of money. Not wanting to max the credit card, they had moved out of the hotel, and as it's all computerised, their record had been obliterated - hence it looked like they had never been there! They stayed at a hostel for 2 nights, then got the flight home, The flight was diverted from Gatwick (they had return train tickets from there) to Manchester, and with no money for the train fare from Manchester (which was more than their flight to Egypt!) they waited for a coach, which of course took much longer than the train journey from Gatwick! Quite sensible, all things considered. maggie

Hey what's wrong with octegenarians may I ask? Are you worried they might be spending your inheritance? Better the octegenarians than the government! ps - will let you know if my thinking changes and I am an octegenarians Clive

Hi Tina and Sally Just rang her at the airport and so far she has managed to stand at the wrong check-in desk for 15 minutes, she saw Paphos and thought that was where she was going!! Girls!! Best wishes Carol x

my daughter will be on her way back as i write this. she went on her own to latvia on wednesday to see her boyfriend. the only contact i have had from her was she had a bumpy landing and that it was hot! thats it nothing more. kids! tina x

Yes, I remember the feeling too....but after they have been away a few times, you get to feel that it will be OK....

Hi Sue and LLC, we never stop worrying do we? I am sure they will be fine. To add to the worry, she takes her driving test when we are away on holiday and is a bit miffed that we won't be here! Having said that, my mum still worries about me and I am 42!! Good morning to you all anyway. Best wishes Carol

know how you feel. My 17 year old son tends to sleep out a lot at friends houses and I have had to learn to not worry myself sick over that. But a few weeks ago he went to Hull and spent the night in a BnB and I couldnt sleep the night before or when he was away. He couldnt understand why I was worried. He kept saying if I didnt live at home you wouldnt be worrying. Tried to explain that if he didnt live at home I would still worry but I wouldnt need to know.lol

I know exactly how you feel, my son went away to Zante for a week (he got back last Friday) on his own for the first time and I had a week of worry, but he was fine. He came back exhausted though lol. Sue

Just waved goodbye to only daughter, 18, away to Ayia Napa on her first holiday without us!! Aimee and her friend Faye have left for the airport for their 9.00 am flight, all excited and giggly. I had planned to go back to bed, but mind is racing now, has she got this, has she got that, will she have enough money, will she be sensible!! Her dad has gone back to bed now, probably giving it zzzzz - oh the joys of being a mother. Will worry every day for a week now until she is safely back under my roof. Have a good time Aimee and Faye, mummy loves ya!!
