    I guess if he seems fine in himself no need to worry, can't beat mother's intuition though. Does he really look like Murray? :D

  • He seems totally fine, she reckoned most parents wouldn't have picked it up - in the nicest way, she thinks I'm a bit neurotic - and I'd rather that than the alternative.

    Just googled Murray and baby does have a very similar mouth - though I guess Murray has teeth!!

  • Bit of a hopeless morning, spent a week on and off trying to invest money for the children, and now I'm told I can't do it online, grrr. Did some advance present buying at bodyshop, great 50% off the sale price, thanks Martin:money:

    Plan is lunch, dogwalk, crack on with AS marking as......

    GCSE marking all complete :j:j:j

    Doc says to not worry just yet. Also reckons baby looks like Andy Murray...

    Hopefully you will train him better than Judy did- that boy needs a shave and a haircut lol!


    My son usually comes home from uni needing both, but have nagged him to get it done this week. I pick him up Sat and he has a job interview on Monday ;-)
  • Has he finished for good, or just for the year?

  • Reporting a £48 overpayment, sadly house is losing value as fast as mortgage being paid off.

    House prices are so unpredictable aren't they. Luckily 2 houses on my road have sold recently for fair prices so that should help my LTV when i renew mortgage deal in April (that has come round so fast!)

    Well done on the marking, you must feel brilliant now one set of papers are out of the way.
