    Gone to see the family

    Well as I post this I have just dropped my beautiful wife and son off at the airport as she is taking him to see his family in the Phils.

    Due to commitments here I was unable to go but the next 5 weeks are going to be lonely without them.

    I just know this has made her so happy as its been 6 months since she left the Phils and also a chance for our little boy to finally meet them.....

    Hmm, having done the same thing myself on more than one occasion...know what you're going to be experiencing.

    So good for your wife though, and you can imagine how proud she'll be, showing your son to everyone.

    Anyway....behave yourself, and don't forget to do some cleaning, otherwise your Mrs will give you a right ars-kicking when she gets back.

    It's what I would call a glad sad time.

    I'm sure she'll be so proud to see all the family with your son.
    You'll miss them of course. So keep yourself busy and as Graham says keep the place clean and tidy.

    Whenever I'm left to my own devices I become a terrible sinner.
    I'll cook myself roast lamb
    I'll cook some eye-wateringly hot and spicey curries
    dynamite chilli con carne
    and roast chicken smothered with a good coating of marmite and big ball of stuffing.

    I don't have to be concerned about the side-effects either

    Ah yes, and I upgrade to premium beers and lager.

    Yep, before you know it you on your way back to the airport

    I did Peter, but I miss my g/f and kids so much when I attend these events. Sort of feel like an 'outsider'. The atmosphere was brilliant and uplifting though, and so many CUTE little kiddies. Made me quite broody.

    I understand just how you feel Graham (except for the broody bit )

    Peter, Graham, Steve been in contact with Jamie my wife on a daily basis and can see how happy she is going back to see her loved ones there.

    I am so glad I have given her this oppurtunity to do this as I see how happy she is via the pics of her with our little boy and meeting his grandparents for the first time.

    The only thing she keeps saying to me is that she will be glad to come home to the UK as she prefers the climate here because the heat and pollution there as she travels daily to Manila from Rizal her parents home for studies for Ielts 7 for her nursing career here in the UK.

    It seems like a lifetime since I seen them last and I keep myself busy for when they return, 13 days and counting till I pick them up from Newcastle Airport.

    Thanks guys you were right the time soon comes around and this guy will be very happy to see them once again...

    That's good news.

    I think it really helps to keep your partner happy here if she knows that she can take the occasional trip back to the Phils....as well as perhaps helping to appreciate the pluses of life here.

    Sounds good to me Peter...next time your dearest goes back, I should pay you a visit for a month or 2

    I hope all goes well with you Mark.

    Well these 5 and a half weeks have certainly gone by lets say not quickly but I finally pick my wife and son up from the airport on Tuesday after their vacation in the Phils.

    I have kept myself pretty busy with work also getting a new lawn laid for the little one alongside decorating the downstairs of the house, my wife wont know the place when she returns

    I certainly didn't realise how much I would miss them (its like losing a arm) but this very special lady and this little boy have made me so happy

    Having been parted from my own wife and young child in similar circumstances, I can well understand how you've been missing them (and worrying too, no doubt).

    It will certainly be a great reunion for you all.
