Hey FionaJill,
I actually PMSL at what you wrote! Lol, thats is actually something I'd expect like my brother or my best friend to say, lol. I'm still having a giggle.

I'm sure what my mum meant was that it can be a struggle and a trial sometimes, no matter what your age, and you should make sure you are ready for anything.

She's apparently gone out to dinner right now to tell her. I hope she doesn't say it while my mum is driving or anything. ooops.
