Thanks for the support girls - this thread got me through the weekend.... the good news is they are safely back at home.. bad news is they will be back in a week or so...!!!
i know she has good intentions and generally we get along well, they are good people... that's why i started the thread so i could vent here and not show it all outwardly...
anyway, thanks again - i'll prob be venting again in a week or so.
