Headofthehive re we've face timed at least three times. I'm having much better conversations with my DS over FB now than we ever really had at home. His answer to everything was "I don't know". Now he actually seems to have something to say. It's lovely!
August what a horrible thing to happen! DH got into trouble at uni (but not in his first few days - he was doing post-grad) because someone had driven a car across one of the playing fields, and the member of staff who reported it got the parking permit number wrong and the admin people thought it was him! He was going to get fined and possibly even lose his permit but he used to keep a diary in those days, and he could prove he'd been somewhere else. Eventually they checked the report and saw it was a different make of car (you'd think they would have checked that first). Not nearly as scary as nearly being thrown out because of mistaken identity, but maybe another proof that the "authorities" at uni don't always get things right. He requested a written apology too, and got it. Hope your DS is getting over the trauma - it sounds as if he has some lovely flatmates looking out for him so fingers crossed.
