Mum could have been saved
Jenny Oakes, 39, Birmingham
Stifling a giggle, my mum sat as still as she possibly could.
It was 2005 and we were in the middle of my exam for a Beauty Therapy course.
My mum Jacqueline, then 43, had bravely volunteered as my model.
But as my hands shook with nerves, my fingers fumbled on the eyelash glue and, suddenly, it shot out quicker than I’d expected.
And Mum’s eyelashes stuck together!
“Don’t say anything,’ I hissed, sorting the mess out.
“OK!’ she mouthed.
Mum never let me down.
I passed the exam and, just a few years later, I opened my own salon.
