My son's girlfriend (they are getting married some time but don't know when.) is a sweetie. She is a very down to earth aussie girl, from Perth. The kids live in London so although she is onto her parents regularly by skype, she has had to become a surrogate daughter too. She is the kick up the backside my son needs. They bicker like hell but it works. Don't get me wrong, my son is adorable - very bright, lovely dry sense of humour, comes out with some brilliant one liners but is so laid back he is horizontal. If the chips were down, she wouldn't hesitate to ask our advice. We have helped them onto the property ladder andshe was the first to thank us. It's also nice for me to have another female as with 2 sons and OH, I have always been surrounded by males. Finally, the icing on the cake, I now have a beautiful grandson because of her.
