Mum Update

[fiat_knox]

Just to let you all know, Mum's now doing okay. There was a bit of a delay in her planned departure for my sister's in Weston super Mare, due to the traumatic incident on Saturday depriving them of cash and credit cards, but she spent the time on Sunday out in the back garden just chilling with Dad, watching the birds in the hedge. That helped her get over the anguish and the stress from having her purse snatched.

She eventually managed to get the cash she needed for her holiday on Monday. She and Dad took off Monday afternoon, and they're currently enjoying the stay with my sister and niece.

I'm passing a message to all of you from Mum. She thanks you all for your concern and your positive thoughts.

And so do I. Thank you all, everybody. :)

Just a thought - if I recall correctly from your previous post, the thief/accomplice posing as 'concerned citizen' actually came round to the house to return the purse, didn't they? (Presumably they found the address on a driving licence or similar in the purse?)
In which case it's entirely possible they were having a quick 'recce' to see if there was anything valuable there - so it would be worth keeping a watchful eye on the house while your parents are away (especially if the thief might have overheard a conversation about them going on holiday).
Maybe I am being over-suspicious but better to be safe than sorry.

You're not being over-suspicious. That was my first thought, along with the idea that they may try a ruse, calling the folks and luring them away from the house so they could burgle the place.

Thing is, the concerned citizen showed her face to the folks, and Mum recognised her and the person she was with from Argos. So anything that happens can come straight back to them.

Besides, I'm shuttling back and forth between my place and the folks' house sitting while they're away. But thanks for your concern nevertheless. :)

I'm glad...

...that your mom's feeling better. Your family, even though I haven't met them (or you) in person yet, mean a lot to me, especially your mom since she's always been so compassionate toward me and my family without knowing a lick about us.
