It's both sad and exciting when your baby girl, now aged 34, tells me she's pregnant! !Makes me feel sooooo though

Ahhhh the memories of the drawing on walls, cutting of hair so they have ZERO fringe the night before school pics,enscribing the alphabet in CAPITAL and small letters on the new windowsill with a nail. My personal favourite was my eldest using my toothbrush to clean the soles of her trainers!!!!!

Having an egg fight, cause they thought it was fun, cutting the dogs hair, dyeing the dogs hair...I kid you not, and this was recent!!, shaving eyebrows...why?? I ask,and my eldest piercing her nose and thinking I would not notice...to be fair I had not noticed until we got into the queue in asda while she was helping pack the shopping..I just saw it glistening, walked up to her and said what is that as I pulled it out of her nose...ahhhh the joys.

I can relate to Arlo!! Fi's post also fills me with hope. At the moment in our house...... toothbrushes down the toilet, scribbling all over the 'newly painted' hall, my lipstick usually ends on the walls, toothpaste/bubblebath/shampoo etc down the toilet, washing the windows with baby wipes, postman delivers letters through the door, Matthew puts them back through the letterbox, omg I could write a book on my boys!!

My daughter is 11 and just started year 7 this time, she has grown up so much. On Thursday we have a cooking night where we make tea together, pizzas, chilli etc. I'm quite sure she couldn't do a roux sauce though!!

My eldest (15y/o) is going to France, from Australia for a whole school semester in June, all by herself! She's been working two jobs to help pay her half. Jeez they grow up fast.

Her name is Hannah and although she has her moments, she's pretty great. Since she started in P7 this year she seems to have grown up so fast - I think the extra responsibility they are given at school,helps.

Your daughter reminds me so much of my wee 4 year old grand-daughter! Yesterday she decided to cut one side of her hair! Guess who is taking her to the hairdresser tomorrow hahaha

That post fills me with hope. So far, my eldest daughter's idea of helping is covering her younger sister's head in sudocrem, drawing works of art all over the walls of our (rented) house, and mixing water, milk, juice, a banana skin and some paper in a jug, and calling it lunch. Still she's only 4.
