Maybe I can start to stop worrying about the sproglets

Minor Mayhem managed his first trip to the City sans adult perfectly well yesterday. Caught the train with his mates, went to the cinema, bought himself lunch, procured a new computer game, travelled home and helped prepare dinner.

Meanwhile Strident Student (recent commentator on News 24 re. 'the cuts' & re-elected Student Union rep....doing the proud Mum bit) looked after her sister and I very well during our visit to the Steel City. She'd made soup and baked sun-dried tomato rolls for our lunch, as well as preparing a gorgeous fish stew for dinner, proving that she can look after herself more than adequately. We had a really nice girlie day pottering round the City and showing Miss Sensible the Uni etc. before stopping off to purchase some scrumptious cupcakes from Fancie :o)

Delighted they can all manage so well without me...although perhaps that puts me at risk of redundancy...!?!
