Jem has gone back to Uni and apart from the relief that he got back after re-sits and then the rush to get him back its actually a relief. I never thought I’d say that, when my friends sons went back for the second year they were saying how great it is without them and I told them they were terrible. how right they were. Its a pleasure to have him around but what a lot of work. No more cooking at funny times to match his funny hours. No more taxis at strange times (usually when I get in the bath). I’ll get some sleep as no one will be creeping in at 4 in the morning and letting me know they are home safe! and when you say anythiing the answer is “but you were awake” of course I am if anyone should open my bedroom door I wake up. It makes you realise how much you love your little birds and that one day they will need to fly away but lets hope not for good
