I know how you feel Yvonne. Our only child, Dan, is 24 and moved out of the house last week. He is only about half a mile away and is sharing a house with a friend, but when he left I was wondering where all the years had gone since I first carried him over the doorstep as a tiny baby. Sob, sob! All those years in between just seem a blur; I suppose we're just too busy bringing them up, working and juggling our time to fit everything in, then all of a sudden they are grown up! Scary, really, where the time has gone!

PS Well done for reaching 30 years in your job, too. Which Bank do you work for; I used to work for Barclays, and then a little bit for Midland (now HSBC).
