Well, that's the first grandchild off to university - only another two over the next three years (providing the government doesn't decide to make them all work down the mines) and I can relax!
-
I waited until the youngest of my 3 was 18, then instead of just changing the locks, I moved 40 miles away and didn't give them the new address! ;)

That's the problem with governments Vultch...no forward planning. All the mines are shut, and mills are a thing of the past. If it wasn't for burger-bars, childhood slave labour would be eradicated completely. Then where would we be ?
I do like your tactics Egg. I've got one at Uni at present who has declared that he's not moving out until he's at least 40 ! Think the fact that he's got a room with enough technology to run a small country and waitress service supplying three square meals a day (plus snacks in the evening) may be influencing his decision making.
Think we could end up with a "Four Yorkshiremen" type rant here. :P

Paint their room, or move their kit out. Mine is being charged for the privilege of being at home, and will be paying more in the new home.
-
I'm scared it may be booby-trapped. :'(

Vulch, what’s this not being able to relax until after GRANDCHILDREN go to Uni business? I am counting down to last CHILD going!

No, my children are in the forties now, the grandchildren still come to me to moan how crap their teachers are (classic from grandson's O-level maths teacher, "here's the book that goes through all the maths you need to know for the exams, if you have any questions, Google them!). Besides which, I like my grandchildren and will miss them when they've all flown. :'(

I'm with Diane, last child out and the curtains get shut and the "No Vacancies" sign goes up. Only problem is, Uni seems to be very part-time this weather. They spend more time away from it than in classes...wasn't like that years back. Lazy so and so's. ;)
-
Well, it appears that this whole week is 'freshers' week and drinking, mingling and running amuck(sp?) seems to be the order of the day. I've no idea where the education bit comes in. ???
-
Apparently they learn how to get drunk when they only leave home with £3.74 and how to phone for a lift at any time that isn't decent.
>:(

I don't think the university has an emergency 'mum' or 'dad' driver to pick them up, so I think it's shanks's pony for the lot of them!

So it's horse rustling now then.

Horse rustling is only trimester one. Second trimester they move on to cowpoking and bean eating.

...bean eating.
I've been eating. Nice beef stew.

Thanks for the compliment, but the name's Sandy, not Stewart.
