Even after four years of blogging, it never ceases to amaze me when I get a mention on the press or when I get featured on a site... my mother, like your mother I'm sure, suffers from acute 'child pride', an affliction many mammies have and which I believe is an occupational hazard.

Mam and I talk on the phone every week, so she keeps up to date with all my news. A few weeks back she told me that while she could boast with her friends about all my achievements, she couldn't show them anything as she's not on twitter or facebook, so I put this together for her. If your mam, like mine, suffers from this terrible affliction, I'm sure you'll understand!
