He's home on leave at mo before leaving for afgan on the 4th of april. I'm so excited cos we're going to Rome for a few days next week-can't wait! Be fantastic to have some quality time alone in such a fab city! People who've been have been telling me i'll love it, and i know i will. Only down side to is that he has to go striaght back to work when we get back :( Just have to make the most of it!

My oldest son just celebrated his 14 birthday!!!!!!! scary he's that old, i can still remember vividly being 14 myself, can't possibly be so long ago can it?? He's gonna be a giant of a man if he doesn't slow down his growing, he currently is 6ft 2, we're a tall family thou, i'm 5ft 11 myself. There all off school for a week, so have seemingly millions of teenagers and other kids flowing through the house, eating all the food lol
