My son has one more year at school before his GCSEs and leaving 'do' - so now I know what to expect! He will always be my baby (but don't let him know I said that LOL). Mandy :)

Oh Patricia I know how you feel. It was my turn last Friday to have a tear in my eye. My 17 year old daughter looked like a princess going off to her prom with her friends in a limo. All the lads had kilts on and the girls their ball gowns. Hope your son has as good a night as she had, she said it was the best night of her life. Christine

Now he is really grown up.. Hope he enjoys himself.. From a tearful... Pat Just got back from seeing them all of, eight of them all started school together , Few more mums with tears in their eyes.. So many photos taken.. Got a bit uptight car was 30 mins late. never mind they all looked hansome..
