I think we all write ...Fhina - where's awoni gone ? I think we all write like we talk and we are all inbred ! and sound the same<BR/><BR/>Shirley - everyone was way too polite and I have masses of faults but I'll restrict myself to my main ones ! Jeez - even my main ones will take a while<BR/><BR/>DJ - oh they're a laugh a minute my crew !<BR/><BR/>Berthdu - they got to read theirs and then all did a little bit on me, far too polite<BR/><BR/>Tim - all their own words, but I am blessed as every single day they tell me they love me, and I have told them every day too,even on school trips when they're away I put a little note in the spending money envelope with a little funny quip and an I love you and I miss you, we are a disgustingly loved up family ! My parents didn't say it really ever but I knew they did, they weren't kissy huggy either so I seem to have gone completely the other way with mine.<BR/><BR/>Lisa - and I always say it, I am indeed lucky and I am truly grateful for them.<BR/><BR/>Frankie - it's manic, loud and messy and I hope when they remember their childhood, they won't remember that I couldn't cook but they will remember the laughter and the love. We have worked really hard post seperation to learn to be a 4 instead of a 5, and I am much less strict and routine driven than I used to be but the upshot is we seem to be closer. I think I know that the clock is ticking and I'm on the last lap with them and I want to make it count. xx<BR/><BR/>MM - With my hand on my heart, I asked them to write about me for my blog and they opened up a word document and just typed, although it pained me not to correct some of the spellings, as I didn't want to the world to know how thick I've reared them, it is all their own words.auntiegwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03605486752049211743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-55481069075539082262009-01-14T15:51:00.000+00:002009-01-14T15:51:00.000+00:00A charming and ingenious post, but you can't kid a...A charming and ingenious post, but you can't kid a kidder, you know.<BR/>;0)Mean Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829239249872290230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-70834162005955504222009-01-14T15:26:00.000+00:002009-01-14T15:26:00.000+00:00Love your post Auntie, I could never do the same! ...Love your post Auntie, I could never do the same!
