Congratulations from me, too, prettyxcool and wasn't it supposed to have been harder than ever this year? Never met any other members but I too, had assumed you were much younger!

My sentiments exactly, and I told you when we met up in May, that you didn't look old enough to have a son of 18. Where is he going, and what is he studying? Congratulations to him! o/

Thanks so very much everyone!

Geez, you guys - you've brought tears to my eyes!! As I said before what a wonderful forum we have here, so supportive and so much praise! o/

He is going to City University to study Maths and Finance, so a real big achievement, as he is not very academic.

Yes, Ms Thrifty, apparently it is much harder this year, and as my son is more artistic than academic, it has been more tough too!

Well, I never hide the fact that I have two grown up sons! hehe, it just never came into the conversation. I am just so very lucky I have very good skin, credit to my mum, and I just love life.

So yeah, about the hot date, although we were out on a date, we were not strictly speaking dating! ;)

I like the way Fire and Stone says there's no such thing as a free lunch, when they gave people a free lunch/dinner a few weeks ago!
