So glad your little boy is OK Herb's - he looks such a sweetie on FB. I'm echoing everybody else when I say it's always horrible when your child has an operation, however, minor.
My teenagers seem, so far, on the straight and narrow, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed it continues. Mine, like QQ's hate these parties and prefer intimate soirées with friends. There seems to be plenty of dope and alcohol about though and a boy in DD1's year has been absent since October with some sort of dope induced depression. Quite shocking really, especially as I remember how cute and open he was when he was 12.
Hope you're bearing up Stropp's.
I haven't much to report as have spent most of the weekend surfing the Internet looking for a Holiday cottage in the Dordogne. All the best ones seem to be fully booked - I'm going to have to sort it in December next year, it appears the beginning of February is far too late.
