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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pat - Anglo Saxon!!! Daisy

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

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

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!

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

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 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!)

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

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

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.

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

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

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