Where are you buying 65p ice-creams from? I want one! Most seafront kiosk charge £1.50+ for an ice cream without the extras. If you buy a chippy tea and bottles/cans of pop throughout the day, candy floss etc. (some parents just can't/won't say no) and some fairs charge by the ride at £3 each a go then add on the money wasted in amusement arcades... I imagine it adds up especially when you add in parking/petrol etc.

It's why I have cats

in Skegness they're 65p on the sea front!! :j

i am sooo hungry, i hate dieting!!! well it;s not even a diet i'm jsut trying to eat better and i am sticking to calorie limits because if i didn't i'd probably eat about 3000 calories a day :rotfl: huuungryyyy

This must be heavily dependent on location, by the time you've paid for parking somewhere like Brighton and each had an ice-cream and some chips not to mention all the !!!! your kids see and MUST HAVE you're looking at a second mortgage :rotfl::rotfl:

You see the more you all talk about the financial strains,the pregnancy, and I see my sleep deprived colleagues, the further back I push my kids having age :rotfl: I used to think 27, now I'm thinking 33... Maybe 36....

Everything you say is true, and you can add stretch marks and dodgy pelvic floors but on the plus side you will never laugh so much as when you've got children. They are incredibly funny and laughter is the best medicine :rotfl:

Yes we had our first at 27, I'm glad we did in so many ways but I am one of the youngest mums at the school and I can see the older parents have much more financial security. This is a very affluent area though so I try not to judge against other people! We went through a stage of that and living up to other people's lifestyles and my sig shows what hapened :mad::eek: Silly us.

To be honest there is never a good time to have kids, they will always ruin financial plans!

Pretty sure I will be one of the oldest :eek: most people in my school year, the year below and the year below that have least 1 child, some have 2. (I'm 22 now by the way!)

My best friend and her BF are about to start trying, they've got the house already so no need to worry about that

I was 25 having my first and while I was in hospital, looking around the other mums were either 18, 19 ish or in their 30's. seems its not cool to have kids in your mid twenties anymore :rotfl:
