26 hours til I leave my kids for the big trip home and I'm all ajudder

[suzywong]

That's it really

Butterflies in stomach, tetchy etc

Someone tell me that once the nice Singapore Airlines lady brings me my first G&T the feeling will go

Maybe not the first but by the 6th you'll not care one way or another.

yeah, you have a point SD
My mother has taken the order of a bottle of French Red and a decent bacon sandwich ready and waiting for me.

I'm feeling MUCH better now as it's a glorious spring day and we are all eating chocolate cup cakes and playing soccer in the back yard and MIL has gone out.

Can anyone, and by anyone I mean the legions of MNers glued to this thread, recommend a nice trashy yet not too dumb book for the flight?

If you haven't read "The Timetravellers Wife" it would be just the thing for a long flight as it needs to be read in big chunks or you get confused! Fab book, and not at all heavy. Good luck with the flight and have a great holiday - please tell me how wonderful Singapore Airlines are when you get home as I've just booked with them

I really enjoyed Never Let me Go by Kazuo Ishiguru (sp?) - not a trashy read though, but easy to read and unputtdownable (mindyou, you might arrive thoroughly depressed after reading it )

Hope you have a good journey back! (are you visiting Highgate?)

Have you left yet SW? If not what about Wicked by Jilly Cooper, or, even better, Pandora or Polo. You'll be fine after the 2nd G&T I reckon.

no to TTW but thanks, I loved NLMG and yes I have left and am in Changi transit lounge and I bought a steven King short stories ffs!! Dunno what came over me

You are a hardcore mumsnetter, posting from Changi . Post from anywhere else you stop off too, won't you?

I'm not missing them!!!!!!!!!!

yet but it's only been 30 hours

How long are you going home for Suzy?

5 days with my folks then 9 days in London

Actually, I do miss them now. Dds2 always says "Mum, can I tell you something? I lovr you" first thing of a morning which is usually about now. sob.

Mustn't grumble though, I'm off to Waitrose today. YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEE
