6 days to go!!!

Well it's only 6 days until I get to see my son and bring him home for a week! Hurrah! These six weeks have dragged so much and I'm so looking forward to seeing him and having a proper conversation rather than snatched snippets of conversation on a mobile or text message.

I was on the Jeremy Vine show this week on BBC Radio 2! The topic was, 'would you let your son or daughter join the army and fight in Afghanistan?' I basically said that no matter how painful it is for a parent you have to let your children go - fly the nest, grow up and make their own decisions. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n2w3z It'll only be a live link for 5 days from today - the army discussion is one hour in for half an hour - my 30 seconds of fame is about 25 minutes through the 30 minute section.

My son has to pass 3 tests before he is allowed to 'pass in' to the Army next week. The little one has dubbed this the 'Tri-soldier challenge' as in the Tri-wizard challenge in Harry Potter!! He has passed two so only one to go. Fingers crossed!

I'm going to be one of the proudest Mum's there on Friday!
