Paula Hynes: The girl who doesn't hang about

We had a birthday girl in the house this week as Becky turned 17. It's a milestone she had simply been waiting for as she already has her theory test passed and her provisional driving license. No doubt she will have a crack at her driving test as fast as possible. 

She never really was one to hang around and always preferred to get a move on. She was born on Friday 13. I remember saying to Pete at 8am that morning that I thought I might be going into labour; we timed the contractions, and during a quick phone call, my GP informed me that I’d want to get my skates on and get into CUH maternity.
