Love you Meekie #33.” “I’ve another baby due in five weeks’ time and my other youngest daughter is turning five in December, plus I’ve my eldest daughter back in Northern Ireland. “I want to walk away now when I can rather than keep going for the sake of it, and I want to spend more time with my family.”
