I agree, I'm just not sure where to find the spare. My income is maybe a third what it was then
Oh heck, good luck with it. What are you making?
It never crossed our minds to go without the kids - wouldnt seem right somehow. Is that really bad
No not bad at all...but now you have taken them out I am sure it would be nice to get out just the two of you. I do love it when I get to go out with OH...after the initial :eek: of what are we going to talk about we usually manage quite well..:TQuality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford

Flat packs only take ages if they are from Argos. The Ikea ones have understandable directions AND there's always a few extra screws and stuff.** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

make sure you send then back as recorded delivery, so that if they say they never received them back, you can say that they were signed for!Cats don't have owners - they have staff!!

It's not bad at all Spud - it's lovely that you enjoy the company of your children. The dynamic is just different when it's just the two of you. Knowing you....you'll probably end up talking about the two of them anyway :rotfl:No not bad at all...but now you have taken them out I am sure it would be nice to get out just the two of you. I do love it when I get to go out with OH...after the initial :eek: of what are we going to talk about we usually manage quite well..:T
Going back 10 years, when we had the occasional child free evening, we used to lie and say we'd been out, but actually we'd stay in and just enjoy being together
I guess we both realise that they wont want to come out with us for too many more years. We do really enjoy their company and want to make the most of them being with us before they go off and make their own lives.
Oh god, the thought of that made my eyes leak :eek:Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

Hi All - sorry not been only much of late, but those of you who know me know of my loss. It was the funeral yesterday and it was fantastic, sorry if that sounds an outlandish thing to say about a funeral, but I had really wanted the day to go as planned and it did to the T. She had wanted a Wedgewood blue coffin and that is what she got, with silver handle and a silver plate. The flowers on the top were just from me OH and my fine sons and two other close friends. So I made 7 blue card hearts for us to each write our own message. I was so touched by what my sons wrote. Then my darling OH and sons carried her into the crematorium. I WAS SO PROUD. I had chosen Gretchen Peters "When You Are Old" for her to go in and at the end "I Knew You By Heart" Eva Cassidy. The words were so appropriate. My Personal Tribute seemed to be so fitting and lots of people told me afterwards that I had it just right. Then it was over - all the planning and that's it. But we went on to celebrate over a glass and plate of food - and everyone seemed to think she would have loved her day. Then in the evening we went out for a meal as a family and raised a glass in her memory. There is still loads to do with regard to sorting out her estate, but i know feel that I have turned a corner and am looking forward to writing the thank you letters and ensuring the next part of the process is done properly. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR THE THOUGHTS - you are a great crowd. Billie xx:j I belong to Mike's Mob :j0

I am exhausticated.
DD2 and SIL hinted at a nice dinner for today last night. I did a trolley dash round Morrisons at 10am, took Mum to Donnington Market, got said dinner on the table (Mum and Dad stayed too) for 4pm and have just finished clearing up.
Nice day though.0 -
