Playing the waiting game.....

......but only 3 sleeps to go! Yes, results day is getting nearer, slowly but surely. It has been a long time coming and we are trying to keep as busy as possible at the moment. Both boys are now a little bit more tense as the days go by and I will just be glad when it is finally over and we know where we go next. I must admit I haven't felt like this for years...all butterfly-ey inside (that's not even a word, is it?) and twitchy. To be honest I don't care where they go, as they have both worked hard and couldn't have done any better, but I think it is that feeling of not wanting your children to be disappointed and to protect them from the nasties in life. That good old 'mothering instinct' is kicking in with knobs on. Anyway I will let you all know on Thursday what the outcome is.

Here is one of my recent layouts. Very plain and simple which is what I wanted really. Lennart is the eldest son of Claus and Gabriele who visited us recently from Germany. He was just so lovely I could quite easily have kept him here and added him to my own brood!
I spent ages thinking of a title but in the end just used his name!

Some really good news though. Thomas passed his driving test last week! Yeahhhhh. He is now eager to get a car of course. We are going to have a look at a couple of garages this morning to see what sort of ting is available. He needs something small and efficient. The cost of insurance is absolutely horrendous for newly qualified drivers and to be honest neither me or John thinks it is worth it but as is expected Thomas won't be talked out of it. He has some money saved for a car but would need to pay the insurance monthly which will obviously impact what he has left for socialising at Uni! Still I suppose he will have to learn from experience!
