  • It does suck doesn't it.

    I am the same lovely but I don't know how you manage especially with mini-monz - parents totally deserve a medal!

    8 days feels like forever right now but will be here before we know it.

    Exactly Abba! It is the best way to be... considering my boy is six and already age 9 clothes lol!! He just grows all time and I am only 5 ft 4 and at below my shoulders lol!

    I was took a back last night this boy in his class who is Scotlands national team champion and in the World Championship (12 and most polite boy ever) asked if he could have a picture with my as he was so proud of him to have as his profile pic. I honestly could have hugged him my boy sees him as his hero and if my boy turns out half like him i would be so honoured. His mum messaged me saying her lil boy loves my son to pieces and his number one fan... its so cute!!!

    week today to payday xx
