Kids off to uni? Join the club!

Our only son is about to move into his first student house which will be quite a life change for us as parents as well as him, and so rather than just sitting around moping, we're planning to get together with others in a similar situation to make time to try and and arrange to do a few different things - it could be anything from occasional walks, cinema/theatre, exhibitions, art group, pub quizzes, forming a kazoo orchestra, etc etc- open to suggestions. As a few friends and I are self employed and work from home, we're planning to do a few things during the day as well as evenings. I'm compiling an email list of anyone who may be interested, or we could also post 'events' here on the forum.

My son suggested the working title for the group could be O.A.Party (!!)

Cheeky boy!! I'll be watching this thread with interest. I'm training for a new career so don't have much spare time, but in my mind I'm saying 'yes! That would be great!'. The reality is I'm unlikely to make any get togethers, but if I know when & where then I might get lucky and be able to come. I think the

FREEE Party is a more appropriate moniker!

LOL. Count me in! Do you think we can all have a huge party the night they go????????????????????Then de-clutter their rooms.......look under their beds and find a whole set of crockery/glasses and cutlery.x

LOL at 'declutter their rooms' - you speak my language WOD...

my teenager is away - I found 4 glasses 2 mugs 3 teaspoon 2 plates and a fork in his room. All now washed. I also found a load of dirty smelly clothes in his laundry bin-including all his sports kit - I have left them for him :) ( because he does not need any of my help anymore................)
