THE North-East's first millennium mum has another reason to celebrate after passing her post-graduate university exams.

Donna Watson, whose son Andrew was born three minutes and 15 seconds into New Year's Day, has passed her legal practice course at the University of Northumbria.

Donna lives with husband Andrew, 32, and two-year-old daughter Katie, at Ushaw Moor, near Durham City.

"I'll learn what grades I got later in the week," she said. "I'm really pleased and I'm just hoping I can get a training contract with a firm of solicitors.

"Andrew is the most important thing that's happened and this is the second most important."

And she added: "Andrew is six months old now and he has got two teeth and he is biting everyone. He is gaining lots of weight and he is full of smiles."
