Flying on a jet plane...
Mr Messy and Drama Teen set off this afternoon for their weekend in Germany. They rang to say they'd reached the airport safely, although had a nightmare trying to find the right carpark, and said they'd be in touch once they'd safely landed in Germany. TWO HOURS after they said they'd have landed I finally got a phone call to say they'd landed safely and were at the Exchange Student's family's house!! TWO HOURS!!! Well the stressing out, trying to block out the worrying was productive at least!! Me, Little Miss Sensible and The Boyfriend managed to get all the stuff into the attic that needed going in, including Little Prince's car seat, which I didn't think we'd get up there!! But we managed it, with a bit (well a lot) of huffing and puffing and some muttered swear words!! UPDATE: Hmmph!! Went to bed last night and remembered the bags of grown out of toys I'd put at the end of our bed - that should have been put in the attic!! Aaaargh I thought I was doing so well!!
I also cleaned out and sorted the majority of the kitchen cupboards, only a few left to do!! Amazing what a bit of worrying will do - Mr Messy did offer to not phone again for ages - but I persuaded him that wasn't a good idea!!! Not if he wants to sleep in the house, rather than the garden shed when he gets home lol
Managed to persuade Little Miss Sensible to sort out some more of her bedroom, ready for the big move to university - and without resorting to shouting this time AND we are still speaking to each other!! See miracles do happen 1) she is actually getting on with it 2) we are still on speaking terms lol You never know she might actually have finished it before she goes on her backpacking trip next week :-) Which is another reason for the manic tidying - stops me worrying about that too!!!

Hope they have a lovely and safe time.Us parents never stop worrying!
I'm sure they'll have a great time, we've spoken to the student and her dad and they both sound so nice. I was just getting so stressed that they hadn't rung 2 hours after they should have landed!! Especially since last time I flew with Drama Teen (on my own without Mr Messy) she fainted and had to be given oxygen on the flight!!!
Feel a lot more relaxed now I know they are there safe and sound though :-)
Love
Janet
