Went to visit some of Robs family today. Was a lovely sunny day for a change so we were able to sit out in the garden.
The little ones (Robs niece and nephew) played nicely, most of the time. Apart from when the boy had what the girl wanted - we got this shot and I think her expression says it all - Don't mess with my stuff boy!
I say Go Girl - start as you mean to go on!!! LOL
I came across this at Beth and Cory's Mum and thought I'd give it a go.

Want to give it a go.. go here
My youngest daughter (19) bought her first car today. It's a 2002 Vauxhall Corsa. She's worked hard and saved hard for it so I'm rather proud of her.
Of course being a Mum it raises up worries for her safety but I know I must hold them back and be happy for her. No more struggling on and off trains back and forth from uni.
I know her sister (24) is probably a bit pee'd off as she's not been able to save for hers yet. Her time will come no doubt.
I really should learn to drive myself, the older I get the more afraid I get..

Just received the good news that my son is coming home for a visit from Dubai on Friday.
He will be staying for just a week, but it will be wonderful to see him, it's been 7 months now!
Just a pity I'm working all that week :(
Well here we are, my partner and I settling down for an evening on our own. No blaring music, no bickering, giggling, no mobiles ringing every few moments, it's oh so quiet. It's nice but it's not.
My youngest daughter went back to Brighton today for her 2nd year of uni, her dad took her down...
I had plans for this afternoon, to go the London bike ride (which I will describe in a later post) but first I was unable to hold back the tears. I had a good cry as I came back into the house from waving her off. This wasn't the first time I cried, last night as I went to bed it all got too much for me and I cried (maybe a bit too much) feeling I would never be able to stop, but sleep took over and I awoke this morning feeling a lot better.
So now, got to get on with things as an individual rather then a mother of 3, which is what I have been for over 26 years!!
I know I'll always be their mother and they'll be back for holidays and weekends before I know it, but it's a major change and will take some getting used to...
