    She can't spell that well herself, so don't worry too much ;)

    Personally, I think she is just some little 14 year old sitting in her bedroom dreaming big dreams. (or an alter ego of a pole we all know)


    I totally agree to!

    What confused me is why she is taking one thing, the most special thing in the world and make it to be such a chore!
    If thats the case, why want them...?
    Future goals:
    Become debt free.
    Beat Depression.
    Be happy & healthy

    OP congratulations you must be thrilled. I hope you are throughly enjoying being pregnant.

    I am 35 my DH is 43 we plan to have a baby soon (fingers crossed) we are lucky we are financially secure, we both work, have 3 good cars between the two of us, I have horses a beautiful wagon to transport them, and yes we have good savings....

    However I plan to either give up work or work very small part time hours once we have our baby. Only working when my DH can have baby. I would never want to leave my baby with someone else. I acknolwedge why some have to do this however I can only accept people who do this for necessity i.e. put food on the table not so they can try to live the same 'extravegent' lifestyle they had before baby....just my opionion though

    Hope you don't think I'm being rude but why do you need 3 cars between the two of you?

    I have 2 cars galvanizersbaby.......and im single:) (well i will explain....)
    One is a wheelchair car and the other is a mpv!!
    I need one for my DH, who is in hospital.....and has been for over a year!(He had a RTA almost 5 years ago.....in hospital for nearly 1.5 years, a nursing home for 8 months, then home for 1 year then back into hospital again) And the other is for myself and the kids and their friends and anyone else who decides to come along on days out, soccer, karate, guitar lessons, swimming ect:)
    A lot of my friends took over my parental duties when DH had his RTA and took our kids to their various clubs, while I maintained a bedside vigil for well over 18 months!! (DH was in a coma)

    I was just gonna say I assume that Penny has a 4x4 for transporting Wagon for horses or even for going up to the fields and then a nice car each. Am I right??

    Not at all mumoffour
    I can fully see your need for 2 cars - for you it really is a need where as I suspect for others it is more just a nice to have
  • OP - congratulations!!!

    I think Grace is a troll. Since February, she has won back her husband, quit her job to look after her dogs, having a surrogate, setting up her own business and started an Avon round?

    WOW!!!:T:T

    WOW!!!:T:T

    As well as rent out one of her houses (which she owns outright at the age of 29 btw), though setting up a proper tenancy agreement with an inventory was beyond her despite a close member of her family being a solicitor.

    She's also rented out some farmland for her horses.

    Been approved for adoption.

    A very busy bee that Grace :rolleyes:
