well, here it goes! cant believe ive won the competition, i no i can have a wild imagation but didnt think mine was that good! i have never done a blog before so not sure what to write, but bear with my while i blog on and hopefully il come up with something interesting!

im a 15yr old carer who looks after my mum with a mental illness after she suffered domestic abuse from my dad.  Hes now in prison for a very long time and now its me and my mum.  Didnt ever think i would be a young carer, thought a young carer was someone who looked after their blind parent or deaf relative, but now i no that you can be a young carer at any time, when you least expect it and it happens to the people that you love the most.  Its hard and i thought i was on my own, till i have found this site who have helped me so so so much THANK YOU

Well ive just got back from my holiday with my mum and her 2 friends, we went to gran caneria for a week to give me and my mum a break. Sun was hot and the pool was great!! spent most my time in the pool, made some friends and hung bout with them, but still could keep an eye on ma old mum!!  wasnt sure how mum or me would cope being in a foreign country for the first time while she had a mental illness.  Coped quite well really, she even managed going down the water slides, but her friend kinda got her bikini top twisted and flashed the whole pool, she was slightly embarrased!! lol

Now back in Sunny England freeeeezzzzzzzzzing!! skool tutor cumin 2moz :( at least il have a tan tho!! got 3 million pairs of socks on in front of the fire!!
