  • flippin' nora Bun. 6 kids..........that's :eek: , imagine the chaos at breakfast! I'm the eldest of 4 and that was mad!

    Here's me and my family on Christmas Day 1987 (it says 88, but I'm sure it's 87!) - have to say Christmas was always lovely. My dad is a milkman, so went to bed on Christmas Eve at 7, got up and went to work at midnight, came home 7am Christmas morning so he could watch us open our presents. He then had a snooze before Christmas dinner.

    I think back and wonder how they afforded presents as they had very little money, but I remember the Shopacheck lady making her weekly visits, so I guess that's how...:rolleyes:

    (I'm the one blowing up the balloon for those trying to work it out!!)

  • Ah, lovely picture BB.

    I would love to have been in a big family-but not to have to raise/cook/feed/GIVE BIRTH to 6. Talk about Donkey's yawn!
