...the point of no return....

The hardest thing about being a parent is letting your children do things for themselves....crossing the road, walking to school, going into town on Saturday, going to parties when the parents aren't there....!

No 1 and No 2 are off doing their own thing at the weekend, only returning to be fed (and get more money!). It's nice when they come back in a whirlwind of bargain buys, panda eyes, hormones and hair spray.

Meanwhile No 3 has taken the plunge and is now cycling without her stabilisers. She was very very proud !
