My husband's taken our littlest daughter (17 months) to Australia to say goodbye to his rapidly worsening father who only has days/weeks left.


I was quite sanguine about it all when I dropped them at the airport. Yey, only one daughter for a week, virtual freedom!


But....I miss them loads!! I'm such a sook.


Our oldest (4 in a fortnight) is the same, she misses them both loads.


I know they are only away from a week, but it feels like I've left my right arm behind somewhere.


I need to regain my composure clearly :)

Much love your way (and your hubby's for that matter).


I enjoyed hearing the word 'sook' as you don't hear it much in the UK. And yes, you are a sook, but you're entitled to be. You must now go and watch family videos and make yourself weep....in for a penny, in for a pound I say....x

Oh, sad circumstances for them to be away, sorry to hear that :(


Try to make the most of the time you have with your big girl, she will love having Mummy to herself for a week, and they'll be back before you know it.


"sook"... love it, a very common word in NZ but I don't think I've ever heard anyone use it here!


P x

You're not the only one you know, I've noticed a significant increase in moping from the lovesick mocklet!!


Anyway, chin up old girl, I was exactly the same when I was on holiday last week, spent the last 3 days of 5 in the big apple whinging to missus mockers about how much i missed the wee boy.

Awww thanks guys. Now I'm not sure I'll have time to think about them this weekend (yeah right!). Eldest Madam has me on a strict programme of cupcake and cookie making, princess movies, an ED (and surrounds) playground crawl - and then if I'm not on my knees by then, an extended visit to Scoop!


I'm not sure who is leading who astray here :)


There will be some happy kids at nursery on Monday with all the baked goods being crafted :)) Little mocklet included??

If it makes you feel better, I went out yesterday morning, with the in-laws babysitting - Bugglet (now 8.5mths) was on her morning nap and so would find them there when she woke and I was so nervous... I got round the corner and was already on the phone to hubbie saying I felt like I'd had a limb amputated and felt a bit choked :-$ (especially daft as I've had no problems her asleep with babysitters several times!).


Needless to say, I got home to find out she'd slept for nearly twice as long as she has done any other day this week, and wasn't bothered by my absence until my return!

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
