Share a piece of wisdom.
'This too shall pass'
If you could change anything in your life so far, what would it be?
I would have let PD go before Isobel was born and dealt with it with greater grace. I treasure every second we spend together as a family and love sharing her sprecial moments with him; I will always wish things were different but they aren't and I can't change that.
So ladies, the game is, you answer the questions, changing one question for your own, then forward to ? others - who is left!.

I didn't realise you were an Island girl! It does seem to be the way though that anyone born here wants to run a mile (usually as soon as they disembark from the Redjet in Southampton) and those of us who were born in the Smoke find it just charming and delightful (that's me).
Anyway, thanks for not minding about being tagged. I loved your answers - it's great to find out more about one's fellow Mummy bloggers. Particularly liked your wise words, "All things shall pass". Such a useful - and optimistic - thought when thing seem especially rough.
Have a great weekend on the Isle. The sun is shining and the sky if cloudless - as ever...
