... and congrats from me too Katie; even to be invited to interview there must be a feather in any boy's cap. Best of luck to him on the day!

Had a phone call last night from the Eton headmaster offering Jamie a full scholarship 
I can't quite believe it yet, am just so happy for him, its an amazing opportunity, so glad we decided to give it a go, life has a way of throwing these extraordinary things in our paths sometimes  |

That's just brilliant news! Well done to your son - you must be so proud.
I hope you're good at sewing on name tapes!

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh - well done and congrats to him and to the family. You must be in shock, cos I bet you were secretly telling yourself that it won't really happen, but it's a great experience...... 
PS name tapes - I gave up with the sew on ones when it got to no 3 and went iron on. But that's probably not good enough for Eton.
