    I'll be 37 too Kavics (turning 38) Hopefully with a little one (or two) and paying the mortgage off as quick as possible - they won't evict us to the mfw board will they? I like it here too!

    ((((Hugs)))) Kavics.

    I'll be a few weeks off 36 in 2017. I better have gotten my PhD by then! And I'd love to have a family and a job in the field that I love (preferably one that pays me loads of money for 3 days per week :p).

    :rotfl:

    I'll be 36 too and I think I'd really just like a dog by then! (Of course this is dependent on buying a house with a garden and having a flexible job, preferably one that I love... :D and a family and some travels if we're lucky...)

    Ah Star, it made me feel pretty small and heavy too :o But it's so brill to read everyone's goals and see that this doesn't factor as a priority - happiness and health above everything :)

    Glad Grace had a fab first birthday with some threadie special guests :D

    Neh, they can't evict us, we might be old but still have the strength to deal with youngsters:D. Though the debt can f..k off :o.

    Awh no, I'm looking forward to the MFW move! They're like hardcore huggers. They use the dodgy hug smilie and don't even care it looks like an orgy!

    37 isn't old!! A woman was complaining she was old turning 50 this year and I'm just sat there thinking "113 is old" My Mum is 50 and she's awesome, certainly not old. But my Gramps is 81 this year, still crackers as ever so 80 isn't even "old" to me anymore. I think I've just lost it ;)

    What height and weight talk, is that what I started on Tete's thread? So sorry :o No matter what height or weight you are you shouldn't feel bad about it! (which is something I probably need to remember myself!)

    I like the idea of having a dog as an aim instead of kids :D I can't wait until we've bought a house, with more space, bigger garden and surrounded by lots of land so I can sneak another pooch into the mix - it's a no go at the moment as Ryder is crated, so the other dog would have to be too and we don't have the space here.

    Happy Thursdaybasicallyfriday Everyone! :D I'm working today and tomorrow then I'm off until Wednesday :j

    Ah was it on tete's thread? :o I'm confused over diaries! Either way you are all taller and thinner than me :o

    Dinah I don't think I can make the meet up. York is twice the price than Leeds would have been and I'm away the weekend before working so its not fair on the kids for me to be away two weekends in a row. Maybe next time
