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!

    • Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore 
    • You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.      
    • Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.  
    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
