I'd like to ask:


Which single qualification (your BA, Grade 8 etc) would you never want to be without?

Which one means the most to you and why?

I know this is not letters after your name but the 'qualification' I'm proudest of is Mummy. There are only two people in the whole world who can call me mummy and it makes me feel very very very special.
