OMG just read this I am so so sorry that his birthday trip was spoilt!! Big hug for you all Pink xx

Hi Daisy, only just read this, what an absolute nightmare though glad it's all sorted now. Andy

thats awful! glad he is home and safe now though xxp.s got your emails, not on my pc at mo on someone elses...will reply asap xx

Sorry BC missed your message. The only bright spot this weekend! Daisy

Well he hasn't lost his sense of humour. Just asked Tom for his dirty washing (to which he gave me a dirty look) and then as he put his jeans in the washing machine, I reminded him to empty his pockets. 'Someone already did that for me Mum!' Daisy

Glad everything turned out o.k. Daisy (AND Arsenal won!) XX BC

Glad they're home! Bet you gave him huge hug when he got back. Love becx

UPDATE: They're home!! Judging by what they've told us, they were almost certainly 'targetted' and had their drinks spiked. Tom just has the clothes he's standing up in. The police and the British Consulate contact were staggeringly unhelpful to them. When they went to report the theft at the police station the policeman just said 'Baja Beach?' and shrugged his shoulders. The English woman from the BC said 'We're not open. Don't you know it's the weekend?' I'm furious. By the time I've finished on the phone tomorrow she'll be lucky to have her job! Ryanair and a desk clerk at the consulate were brilliant and Tom actually took a name and address so that he could write and thank them. Another brandy I think! Daisy

Daisy How ghastly! I had my handbag picked when I was 19 in London. It made me extra 'street-wise'. I am always telling my 13-year-old not to wave his mobile about, keep his money safe etc. nell

daisy by the time you read this hope tom and his mate are home safe give him a hug

No June, no hangover. My limit is two drinks anyway! Seems to have got to me a bit this morning but I'll feel better once we've picked him up this afternoon. At least it's taken Ellie's mind off her SATs tomorrow! Daisy

Daisy, I'm so sorry that the lads have a rough time, the only consolation is that they are safe. I hope you have not got a hangover with all these drinks, lol June xx

Daisy, Thank God they are both safe, I too was robbed in Barcelona 2 years ago took kids to Aquarium zipped bag close to my side, stole my purse credit cards etc, when I reported it put stop on cards told to check bins in venue as this is regular occurence, police just told me to report at local police station 2hours drive away where we were staying, apparently Barcalona is known for it. Lets hope boys get home soon . suex

Daisy, So sorry to hear this. I hope they get back safely. Gwynne

You just can't trust those foreigners ! Oh, I forgot, we're all Europeans now, aren't we.

Morning Daisy, hope Tom and his mate get back safely today, how awful for them, and for you :)

Daisy, So sorry to read of what happened to your son and his friend but glad they are safe. I sometimes kids are easier to look after when they are small - trouble seems to follow them around as they get older and I always worry about my lad even tho he does not live at home now. You must have felt so bad when Tom called you but lucky you knew how to cancel everything quickly. Take care.

Oh Daisy, hope you've had a chance to calm down and relax a little. Keep pouring the brandy.. Jo xx

Daisy So sorry for all the upset. You'll be glad to see them home again tomorrow. Love Helen

Hi Evie Lovely to see you on the boards! A cruise - lucky you! You will love Barcelona. It has everything and I don't just mean all Tom's belongings! lol Hold your bag like a baby and don't sleep on the beach and you'll be fine! Daisy (a little more relaxed after a drink or two!)
