Light hearted antidote to the empty nest thread?

[Theas18]

All my threads sink without trace but I wondered what the upside for you or the kids pushing off back to uni?

For me, right now ,it's the satisfaction of knowing the bathroom is properly clean, the bath is sparkling and scum free, an I shall be the first to use it tomorrow - simple pleasures :)

( dd1 has been cleaning it, not very well but willingly , and using the bath and my bath stuff!)

Noisy, afternoon delight and evening delight

I don't have to buy any more cardboard food aka quorn/soya and any other meat free meat substitutes

More food, less laundry.
No arguing between dd2 and dh
Less taxiing here, there and everywhere
Its great! Seriously.
