I'm just setting the eldest and her boyfriend up in a place, they were gonna make a few mistakes but we talked about it, and they saw sense, I'm now happy to help....I've certainly realised you never stop parenting!! Loved the excitement of the little one and her mate last night, they took it in turns on my shoulders.. backs f****d today lol.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
