I never had any before getting married but now I (OH really) have a tenon saw, hacksaw, junior hacksaw and a pruning saw. (I'm not sure I've ever used them - I get him to do sawing jobs since they're his tools.) If your OH doesn't have any, I would've thought his parents would have some.Buttonmoons wrote: »Oh um no Susan, I don't actually own a saw....(should I?)Any question, comment or opinion is not intended to be criticism of anyone else.2 Samuel 12:23 Romans 8:28 Psalm 30:5

Yeah but then that means travelling 30 miles to get a saw, I could just put it in the oven lol0

the older 2 are a good help as you will probably see tom, Abi is a grump charlie a nighmare and Erin is just her own little self that wanders around happily and likes her bottle and cosy when she gets tired! oh and i may add that my lot like their food esp Charlie!scruffy96uk wrote: »Yay benjamin well done
Caz ur off ur head. i take my hat off to you taking them all on ur own. I know their ur kids and you can cope I'm sure but OMG!!! What kinda car u got?
I have a ford galaxy 7 seater which is a godsend for the kids and all my crap lol!What's for you won't go past you0 -
missed this before, are you near leigh at all? My old CM is near westleigh high, I liked her...
went looking at nursery's today, didnt like it
going to look at childminders, but no1 knows any local so its just a case of taking a risk.
this childcare thing isnt as easy as i thought!!!
lol Ed followed Chris to the stairs then cried because he could get up them, I held his hands to walk him back to the lounge but he just kept trying to lift his leg up to the step but was a good 4 inches off...
Rhys likes the stairs and was trying to lift his leg to get to the next one but sadly his little legs are just too little for the amount of effort he was able to muster :rotfl: Think we'll have to practise that one! We need some of those prop steps photographers have for practising at home!
I was thinking more from Rhys' health point of view
We've been warned lots of times although his kidneys are still improving, there is a high chance they will start getting worse again at some point but no-one knows when that will be. I don't want to book a flight over a year in advance without any backup should he be too ill to go
It might not come to anything yet - ILs have a timeshare in Tenerife that they've only ever been to twice in 20odd years of having it because they (somehow!) swap their time there with other people in their "club" and go to other places instead - mostly America and Barbados! :eek: I know OH would absolutely LOVE to go to Canada too :cool:
I knew what you meant about the insurance:cool:
lol I know in the grand scheme its no biggy, I never went on any holidays like that growing up. It's more that if we stick at 2 we could probably still afford it but having a 3rd child would push it too far so I feel like I'm being selfish having a 3rd IYSWIM...
I'm sure there are plenty of other things that you can find to do which they'll enjoy just as much. I've never been on a ski trip and I don't feel like I've been deprived....

lol I like mfd's new fone too 
Well I finally have my new pram!! :T:j:j OH was totally fine about it (I didn't tell him what it cost :cool: but he did ask what I was gonna do with the others because no one needs 3 prams apparently
) 0 -
Visit was only a twenty minute affair... She mentioned Canada and was telling us all the things there are to do around where they are thinking of staying, then said "so you could go do something and [OH] can stay with Rhys, or [OH] can do something and you can stay with Rhys but we WILL NOT be babysitting. He's your son, you chose to have him and we're on holiday too". Riiiiiight, well at least we're both in the same frame of mind then cos there's no way I'd let her look after my son for five minutes, let alone a day/evening! :mad:0

Sami - tell your OH I have 3 prams/puschairs and have no intention with parting with any of them anytime soon just in case.
MFD - I'm watching too, my problem is I've read the book quite a lot so I know that there is a lot missing.Proud to be dealing with my debts
