Our schools go back this week! I'll have 2 at high school. He's all excited, bag packed, PE kit packed, new stationery, new water bottle.

Then to top it off, they've had all summer to do road works outside the school and guess what's starting this week? The roadworks, where they switch off the traffic lights and without fail one child always gets knocked over because there is no traffic lights in place.

I probably need someone to slap me and bring me back to reality where he will be fine while I wring my hands all day.

He will be fine but I'll join you in the handwringing - my 16 yr old oldest baby is on a train/ferry trip to a week by herself volunteering atm. STRESSSSSSSSSSS! Grin

It's great that they're growing up and enjoying all this new stuff isn't it?

My dd is so self assured and would quite happily do things but my ds, he's still my baby lol.

He'll be fine!!! Tries to convince self!

Hope your dd has fun Northern.

I was a bit like that with dd2 as I thought she would struggle to cope but she settled straight in and has lovely friends.

Oldest dd is just about at her destination thank goodness!

He went off quite the thing this morning. I text him but no reply. No reply from dd either. However the school text reminding us that you can only use coins!

The no reply was due to his new phone having his granny's number under Mum. So she's had regular updates all day!

He's not happy though, he's been chosen to do enhanced french. He's in a right strop about that, but liked his baked potato with carrot Confused

Mine is off to uni in six weeks. I'm sure it was only yesterday she was off to 'big school'. Sniff sniff.
