Hi Alex's Mum, Don't take this the wrong way, and welcome to the forum btw
but how can we know for sure you are Alex's Mum? Not saying I disbelieve you, but it's just that any one could join and say they are so and so's relations of some sort. You are very brave joining here if you are Alex's mum, as housemates can get a rough ride on forums as well as in the BB house at times, and relatives of their's would need quite a thick skin to participate in discussions.
BB9's winner Rachel's mum posts on DS, and she is so nice and takes such a lot of flak by some on there though.
