  • Hi lucky I hope you don't mind me joining your merry band of followers?

    I am in total awe of you and what you have achieved. I started to read this diary after seeing your supportive posts on other people's diaries but then read your first diary first and came back to this one. It's been like riding a rollercoaster following you. You deserve a medal. I am a little scared though - I have two boys (6.5 & nearly 4) and your diary has given me a condensed idea of what to expect - all ready dreading the teenage years :eek:

    You have been my Christmas reading - suppose I ought to go back to the book I downloaded to my kindle weeks ago :rotfl:

    Looking forward to cheering you on and supporting where I can. :D

    Love BB50 xx

    Hi BB50!! You are very welcome to join us. Infact, I’d love you to.

    Can’t believe you’ve read both diaries!! Back in the beginning it seems like it truly was a rollercoaster, thankfully it’s a bit calmer now. Not dull, but calmer.

    Don’t dread the teenage years, just get lots of wine or gin in in preparation :rotfl:Xx

    I was only shown in a clip about the new series starting next week. Not sure if that means our full interview will be shown during the series.

    SA, I too was multitasking and suddenly thought “I know that voice - it’s me!!!” :eek: Xx

  • DS2 went back to school today. He says the new building is fab :D.

    DH and I have just had a quiet day today and watched a film while the boys were at school. I donated blood yesterday and it’s made me feel a bit wiped out if I’m honest, so have just been taking it easy. Did a bit of ironing but not a lot else.
