Hi Daisy Sorry to hear about your son. At least the yare safe. We met last Saturday at the History Fair in London! I'm off on a cruise on Wednesday and we are spending a day in Barcelona, I'll keep everything very very close. Take care Evie

Hi Robert One bad experience won't colour our view! We really like Spain and I'm sure Tom still loves Barcelona! It could have happened anywhere really. Daisy

Sorry to hear about your bad experience of Barcelona, I live in a town in Andalucia where crime is almost non existant, so don't be put off Spain, just don't go to Barcelona!

Lynda A document strap worn under the shirt might be a good idea and double check the hotel booking!!!!! lol I'll ask Tom about the big club by the beach. Open until 6am and the barmaids wear bikinis. Daisy

Really sorry to hear that Daisy, hope they get home ok. Maz. XX

Pat - Anglo Saxon!!! Daisy

Daisey,I do feel for you as we too have just had to bail our son out of Aus.He is now on the plane coming home at this moment ,thank goodness,but the past few days have been hell- Much sympathy Rose

Yeah Daisy I was thinking although it's a terrible thing to happen it would have been much worse if they had woken up. Seen as Tom has been to Barcelona quite a few times I didn't think it would put him off it is a lovely City and as you say Daisy these things happen the World Over. By the way what language was that rude message in LOL. Take Care Daisy and all the best Pat x

I am so pleased they slept through it rather than confronted heaven knows what by being disturbed. These things happen the world over and it is a lovely city. He won't be put off travelling, but he'll definitely find a more secure way of holding on to his possessions. Prior to cancelling his mobile phone, I left a rude message for the thief! The phone and sim card are now deactivated and completely useless, all the cards are cancelled, the passport too and although they've got his digital camera at least it was insured. Daisy

Probably just as well they were asleep, imagine waking up while they were getting robbed? It is a terrible thing to happen to them but at least they are safe. Thinking of you Daisy and sending you all good wishes x Lots of love Pat x

Oh Daisy, what a shame, a least they are both ok, you hear so many horror stories. How on earth did they manage to sleep through,somebody emtying their bag's as thay slept on them? Were they given a whiff of something, or were they on 'very large brandy's' lol Marion

Poor Tom - I hope it doesn't put him off travelling. Is he very shaken?

Have some of my medicinal Brandy, Daisy...so sorry to hear of the upset....but thank God the boys are o.k. XX BC

Thanks Everyone you're very kind! Wendy, Tom was 17 last week and his mate is 19. This was Tom's birthday treat instead of having a party or going clubbing, because he loves Barcelona!! He was there a few weekends ago on a travel challenge for the Pink Fund, we all went last year and he'd been with the school three years ago. And this weekend was going to be so relaxing! lol Daisy

Hi Daisy, Sorry to hear what happened to your son and his mate, glad they are ok though, your poor heart must have been going 10 to the dozen, take care love Anne xxx

Daisy, that must have been horrible for them. How old are they?

Hi Daisy Glad they are OK just shocked to put it mildly. Is it just men that sleep that soundly? I don't think any of the men/boys in this house would have noticed either but me - any slight movemnet & I'm awake!! Penny PS Sorry no brandy but you can share my Baileys

Here's a double for you, and two extra double's for your son and his mate. X XX Dancer x

Daisy, I'm so sorry to hear your bad news. But pleased that the lads are ok. What a terrible thing to happen. Jenny.xx

Oh Daisy so sorry for what has happened to your son hope you sort everything out for them! Davex
