Depends if you're dealing with a howling sobbing 13 year old girl who's life has been completely ruined by her selfish evil parents

It was a real anti climax for me. I think because we had so much stress waiting to go, our house only sold 3 weeks before we flew, and we only flew out the dog on that day, and bought our tickets then.
I expected to be really excited, but because of the stress I just felt numb.

Hopefully it will be better for you.

It depends who I end up getting sat next too. I could be happy and relieved (fit young women) or extremely annoyed (fat smelly man).

I'm not going to the cinema in the next month so I can watch some films.

not sure yet but going to the docs asap.

When my youngest was that age we flew to Bahrain he cried nearly all the way for milk then threw it all up god it smelt awful, lucky it was on landing

To be honest I have 2 teenage sons travelling with us why do they always want to put their legs on me and not their dad, I would swap with you

Me too - with our 8 month old son and 4 yr old daughter! And I am a nervous passenger - at least there'll be lots to take my mind off it! My friend and my Mum used to be prescribed valium...... never quite feel that bad but use Bach Rescue Remedy which works a treat and less drastic.
