Well, he has gone. And I'm shattered, been up since 3am and not stopped all day yet. Deliveries. The furniture which should have come yesterday came today. I couldn't get it out of the boxes so had to phone a man I had never met. He came and within half an hour I had drove him mad! I kept adding on little jobs while he was here, 
. Flowers eventually came, post, Tesco, furniture man, tablets from chemist and saw a friend go by so had a word with him too. So sat in chaos now, furniture in, looks really good but off to bed for a nap in a minute and then I can watch some tele later and relax for a bit.
Ah yes, I have a son, don't I? He was in tears as he left, well, we both were, as expected really. It took them about 3 hours to get there (Aberystwyth) and then he unpacked his things while taking in his surroundings. He says it's a lovely place. I have spoke to him and told him to go and play with the others instead of playing on his computer on his own. Anyway, up to him now. He did sound ok though, even though I thought I had bought him a new duvet and it seems I didn't. [whoops]
Right now I feel good about it all. It's nice to be able to do my own thing without feeling guilty if I go for a sleep and not be around to chat to. Plus I haven't even been outside today and I've spoke to half a dozen people. The furniture man is coming back on Monday to do my garden for me too, so that will be good, getting organised again now. And my cleaner is back on board next week too.
Now, Strictly tonight, so off to bed for an hour. . .
I think this can be a difficult transition RubyLady for both of you. You'll may very well veer between relief that he's gone to empty nest syndrome of missing him. We're here to listen
. Ruby, I am glad things are going well for you. Enjoy your peace and I hope your DS enjoys his time at uni.
) and I won't be asking him to take anything off! Soops place of refuge and friends
