    You could sympathise with my Dad and Step-Dad then. 3 of us - 26 (me), 23 and 21. And before you ask - we don't get better as we get older :rotfl:

    No wonder both of them are Whisky fiends...:p

    Ah squirrel,

    You've made my night, our oldest is 26yrs; then 25yrs; son of 19yrs and baby daughter 18yrs.:rotfl: :rotfl:

    You thought I had a young family.:T :T :T

    I've got grandchildren at school.:D :D

    I honestly though that your kids were teenagers! Your oldest is the same age as me then. Hopefully in a better situation!

    I always imagine Richard as a Richard Dreyfuss lookalike.

    You've all seen what I look like :)

    Fermi to me is a scientist type. Think Grissom

    BTW SP something else we have in common, sort of, is I am an archeaologist.

    Just the luck of the draw squirrel;:D she's really competent, but give her some of the opportunities I've had and she'd be gambling everything on a business being a "sure fire" winner.

    As it is, she's a stay at home mum, but does lots of work that fits in with the children and hubby has a good job.

    It was the only subject at school that caught my imagination; my English teacher used to ask me to write poetry for her. She'd give me a scenario, make a few suggestions and wait for the result. She rewarded me in some of the most amazing ways.:o :o:D

    Thanks tigerfeet, although I've no idea who Richard Dreyfuss is.:D :D

    I loved your family video; we were looking at it tonight; fantastic.

    I stayed at home with Rebecca for 3 years - only looked for a job cos I missed adult company (ex was working 14 hours a day). Fell into the job at CCCS by accident (cos I couldn't pass a credit check for anywhere else - even for my old job at UKI!). Apart from having Becs, it's the best thing I ever did :D
