    As I said, the house insurance renewal came earlier, then just to add a bit more pressure to our already overstretched budget DD told me which blimmin mobile phone she wants for her birthday in just over 3 weeks :eek:

    I keep thinking what a lovely job it must be.

    There was one episode where a woman grew up not knowing her dad and ended up having three half sisters and they were all so happy to see her - it brought a tear to even my cynical eye!

    The kids will be old enough to take care of themselves soon so you and hubby will get a bit more time together. at least you've got them and DH - not all bad:D! I know you miss your family though :grouphug:.

    Not had time to catch up but Jacs did you get your cheque?

    They're old enough to be left for an hour or 2 now Skinty, but we enjoy being with them. We did all the going out stuff before we had them. DD is getting to the age where we go out together now, she'll be taking me to the pub in a year or 2 :D

    I would still like some family though :o
