Tia found out mum was planning to take it for the plane and then chuck it out when they got to Heathrow...Tia was mortified that mum could leave this pillow in a foreign land after it has spent so much time in our family and therefore holds so much sentimental value......honestly...if mum had never told her, she never would have noticed it missing! I believe then someone labelled it the 'travelling pillow', which then means mum HAS to keep it for the rest of the trip and take the obligitory 'travelling pillow' pics in front of prominent icons. oh dear :-P Not what mum had signed up for! :-D
