    I'm quite lucky my dream was to "retire" & become a full time househusband & raise my son (I missed a lot of DD's life due to 'unforeseen circumstances' but it all worked out in the end) & in an estimated 89 days I will truly be living the dream

    I was also lucky enough to be a stay at home mum after having our third, I thought I had retired at 24!

    But they grow up, and do to OH health we had to swop, but he get the years when the youngest was 6 and never quite got used to cleaning, budgeting and anything else.... We both enjoyed out time being stay at home parents, but I only got 6 years, he got 13 and is still counting!

    Hello dip:wave:
    You ok?

    Hey bubbs.
    Hard weekend of sorting out again. It gets harder as the house gets slightly emptier and the 'more important' stuff makes its way into boxes :(
    I know it needs doing :o

    How's your hand. Not been catching up to much :o but think you said you're using it a bit more now :T

    Having a tidy out this weekend. I'm sure I've said before its usually hard to declutter :(
    Bags full of clothes, old car seat and travel cot, all going to the tip for recycling/using/selling.
    I know they'll all go to good homes and have been gathering dust for a few years here but it still pains me to get rid of stuff I could 'one day car boot' despite knowing the chances of actually getting to do a car boot are small :o
    I need to stop clinging on to things :o this would be so much easier if I could :o

    We all cling on to stuff me included:eek:

    It's like they want me to have cold hands and no shoes on my holiday

    Right, I'd better make a start on the knitting, then. What colour gloves do you want?:)

    Dear TrulyMadly,

    We have investigated your recent order and unfortunately we have had to cancel it. You will need to lose at least a stone if you are ever to fit into those size 10 pink yoga pants. Putting it simply. Your bum is too big. Sorry.


    Sorry TM but ya had me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
