So ladies I was thinking - what's out average age on here? I get the impression we've all got a good dose of maturity on our side - either through age or experieince!

Am I allowed to say "quite a bit older than I'd like to be" and also quite a bit older than you!!

I do have 4 children from 22 to 29 and 6 grandchildren (inc Step ones) but I started young too!


Todays lists - so far I have:

• run DW overnight on cheap elecricity
• sorted out chookies - only one egg so far but it's early yet
• checked banking
• checked surveys
• spent 2 hours in sewing room so far

And I will also:

• collect DGD from Nursery and look after her for a couple of hours in exchange for a freebie dinner
• spend afternoon in sewing room
• write menu plan for next fortnight
• write shopping list based on above ready for Mr T tomorrow
• have an NSD - 9th this month

Will have an expensive few days next week as I'm doing another course so there's diesel, B&B, meals and course materials to pay for. On the up side,the actual course fees were paid back in December and it's the last one I need to launch my business. :j

Ok my list today:

HC on line
Made sandwich for work (scoffed)
Banks to check
Update electric before switching back to original provider -used quidco and money supermarket so got £20 tracked for changing back before I move out
Sign up with normal provider at the new house and do the same once its all settled
Start to change addresses on things
Take cuttings of house plants to sell on ebay - only spider plants but I've got millions of them
Start to clear out the potting shed
Wrap up lego etc in attic and move to new house until have time to sort for ebay sales etc
Take a load out to new house in car or Darwin to save petrol
DD to arrange lift to music festival on Saturday to save a double trips worth of petrol
Clear more of garage
Ebay to check - no sales and some unsold plants - maybe I've hit 'peak alpine strawberry sales'??????????
Amazon book sale to post
Old house land lord post to post to him (ask him for the money back?)
Watered tomatoes at new house - pinched out shoots
Need to figure a plan for the remaining XXX tomatoes to be planted - I need to find all my window boxes (I'm not telling how many cos I'll be shocked myself) its not in double figures anymore!
Water greenhouse at old house and plant up some tomatoes in that as well
Grass to mow later and mulch on the veggie garden
Charity shops at lunchtime to cheer me up!
Meeting later about extra work at weekend (teachign gardening course)
Extra hedge cutting job over weekend - couple hours need to sort it out
Spare milk into freezer
More willow cuttings soaking for a 'free' hedge for fuel
Lift more perennials at old house to take to new house IYSWIM
DD has a fund raiser thing tonight for the fencing club - bingo so that's my evening sorted!
Speak to lodger about lift to ferry on Sunday at 8am am (there is a bus - I've checked) so don't see much point in driving back and forth just to be kind when it will cost more than the ticket (she's only away for a couple days - is that terrible or sensible?)
move some money - PAD to one CC £100
Update amazon prices
Declutter some of my bits at office which could also go on ebay.

What's everyone up to this weekend? I'm gardening and teaching - not much else.

Ooh I like these 'tell all' games! A great distraction for actually doing some work

I'm 26 with one husband, one dog and many disucssions about when to start trying to hatch an egg - probably end of next year as I will be fully qualified career wise then.

Thanks La E and DNMS - the motivation is looking at wedding dresses. Not only do i need to lose weight for the wedding but want to before looking at dresses!

right on the 'tell all' topic

I am 26 (well i will be on sunday:j) and i have been with OH for 8 years. Engaged to hopefully be married next May!! We have 2 sproglets both daughters aged 7 and 4. Though the 4 year old is 4 going on 18- all she wants in life is apparently boobs and babies!! I started pretty early too!! No pets as i can't be doing with the mess!

Triangle - love the way you have phrased that too!!!! LOL Also pleased you just have the ONE husband!

Fay - love the little whispering small font!!

Brightening up my lunchbreak ladies

I'm 28, getting married in October (in case you haven't noticed me [STRIKE]boring you[/STRIKE] talking about it on here :rotfl:). Live with my H2B in a poky little flat, which I'm hoping to sell next year. No idea where we want to move to or settle down though... Maybe we could just miss our return flight from honeymoon!

Hi guys - can I join in?

So today I charged phone and ipod at work for the weekend.

Entered two competitions online in lunch break

brought own lunch in.

Walked to work.

Got permission from my boss to take on some out-of-hours nursing shifts.

Had a wash instead of a shower I only needed to wake myself up!

Don't seem to be doing too well so far but I have big plans for the weekend!
