I had just moved miles away from my parents and home with my daughter. She then at 5yrs old started school and I bawling my eyes out the night before, even though she was coming home back that afternoon. Teenage years hit and she would go for a stay over at a friends and I would cry with relief that I had some peace…
The buns looked great ❤ I have cried when all 4 of mine went on residential, and I still cry now when my 22 year old daughter leaves to go home to Sussex, she lives there now and it's 3 hours from Norfolk and I just miss her so much. I like to keep my brood together xx
It's so hard being a mum, you want all your babies with you all the time, bit they have to grow up and do theirnown thing. I'm going to find it SO hard 🥺xx The buns were so nice!
Awe I hope Zachary had a fab time at his residential. It's so difficult when they go on their 1st residential and I think it's even worse when are kids with additional needs are away. My son in p7 had his 1st residential & it was hit & miss until the last minute if he would go, as he flip flopped. He enjoyed it but found it very very stressful, but his teacher was fantastic with him...he was away over his birthday so I got a special cake made ..blooming £75 & his teacher took videos & sent them to me...I cried more. I completely empathise with you Claire, it really is hard but just the start of a different chapter, and it is BETTER FOR THEM to have freedom from us and to fix their own basic problems. It really is so difficult for us watching them grow up, particularly boys. Enjoy your weekend Claire xxx
Awww bless you Claire, I fully understand you got emotional , I felt exactly the same when Freddie went ❤I hope he had a fab time 😊Freddie did he loved it ! What a lovely vlog, I actually want to bake now, I may do something later , sending lots of love to you, love your vlogs so real ❤❤❤xxxx
Hi Claire He will have a great time. I cried when 2 of mine left home and I got 2 home with me. My eldest is 31 this year and I still cry but letting go for them to enjoy life is the best gift a mother can do. They will always be our babies. ❤
Awww Claire, I know exactly how it feels. But they go off happily and we're a blubbering mess 😂. Sending you lots of love and it shows just what a brilliant mom you are. See, even as adults we have to be the brave ones sometimes ❤❤❤
Aww Claire, bless you , big hug 🫂, I totally understend, I'd be exactly the same, your babies are always your babies no matter what age they are❤I hope he had the most wonderful time and I'm sure you were soooo glad when he got home and that you loved hearing all his stories of his trip away 🥰
What a selection of pretty little sandals for lilly to choose from ..... some i would have lived for myself lol. Hope u having a good weekend honeybee i am still down in the dumps lol px
Such a lovely vlog as usual my love. Wish I could give you a big hug when you get emotional, we would be two blubbering messes lol as I’m very emotional too and probably more than you 😂❤❤❤
It crazy how every day we always have so much to do, i always wake up with a to do list running through my head of everything i need to get done or where i need to be. Yum, lemon curd is soooo yum! little girls shoes are so cute. how funny yesterday i went shopping with the fam shoes shopping and we all got wellies to. yes to stressful shoe shopping, its so hard!, its so annoying and hard. The weather over there looks so nice at the moment. nice to see you all going to parks and having lunch out. How exciting for Zac to have a trip. I think next year when tim has his first camp with school i will be the same. its scary for us mums, but they will be fine and he will have a great time and its good for them. you are allowed to feel those feelings its normal and ok! yes let us know how he goes, i bet he has the best time. and i bet you did ok too! xx
Aw yes I love the summer! The weather has been pretty good the last couple of weeks! But the warm weather has been slow to come this year!! Zack had a great time away, but missed home too. It was really odd just having the two kids at home for the week! You're absolutely right, always SO much to remember, the list goes on and on doesn't it. Hope you guys are all ok xxx
Aww we've all been there it's so hard the first time a bet he had a great time and it just gives them a little taster of independence a bet it's harder when you only have one as if you have other children it helps as you have got them to focus on hope you have a wonderful weekend take care lovely 🌹❤❤❤
😊hope Zach has a lovely time it's always sad for us when they go on school trips he will have an amazing time. My two oldest have been on several trips now and both have loved it
Omg he has a hellfire bag!!!!! Massive Eddie fan here & I have a hellfire hoodie 😂…..I’m 35 & want that bag lol. Tell your son he’s cool 😎 😂. Hope he has an amazing time!
I promise you he will be fine. It is one of the hardest things to do as parents to let our children venture out into the world without us. But they tend to surprise us with how well they cope. Trust the foundation you’ve laid for him.❤
Oh Claire he will have a brilliant time my daughter will have her trip next year I’m sure I’ll be emotional plus she is travel sick I worry about that to seems tablets and travel bands don’t work I wouldn’t worry half as much I’m getting emotional watching you get emotional he will be okay I totally get it hun ❤
😢flipin heck Claire made me cry my daughters goin away for a week next week as well to school camp trip 😢first time away 😢 ❤I wish i could have gave u a hug 🫂 🤗 he be fine 🙂
First I’m proud to be an American where we don’t have to send the kids anywhere for a trip. Second I think that is probably why they want you to send the kid on the trip, so they have to solve problems themselves.
Oh we don't have to send them, it's optional, but it's lovely if they can and want to go, and have the experiences - especially as they did activities that we wouldn't do as family - caving, kayaking, rock climbing. He had a lovely time but he's glad to be home! 🥰

Haha it's so funny how things change as they grow 🤣
The buns looked great ❤ I have cried when all 4 of mine went on residential, and I still cry now when my 22 year old daughter leaves to go home to Sussex, she lives there now and it's 3 hours from Norfolk and I just miss her so much. I like to keep my brood together xx

Hope zacky enjoys his residential trip away! I remember bawling my eyes out when my oldest went away to London in year 6 for 3 days 😂xx lovely vlog
It's so hard when they go away isn't it! You know they'll be fine and enjoy it, but you want to keep them with you always ❤️
Such a lovely vlog as usual my love. Wish I could give you a big hug when you get emotional, we would be two blubbering messes lol as I’m very emotional too and probably more than you 😂❤❤❤
Aw yes haha! Two crying mummies lol xx
Is because you clean it effects parts of our bodies,I wear a knee brace some days!! Madness.❤
You're probably right! Xx
It's hard when they go away, you're right there are some things only mums can do. I hope he had a good time though xx
He had a great time thank you, but he was glad to get home! Xx
I know how you feel, my 9 year old went on his residential in April and I was an emotional wreck but he loved it and I’m sure Zack will too xxx
It's hard isn't it! He had a great time, but he's glad he's home lol xx
Hope Zach week away was amazing . Sure he is telling you how much fun he had. And your happy to have your boy home safely ❤
He enjoyed himself- but he was glad to be back home too! Xx

Hi Claire, Did you post the recipe for the buns? I want to make them. They looked delicious! ❤️

Claire, You have a busy weekend. Is Zack home yet? I hope he had a great time on his school trip. ❤
Zack is home now! Came home Friday evening 🤗 he had a lovely time but was VERY tired! Xx
