Don't worry Q , sisters are always show offs. I would have loved one though.

Maybe you could consider getting up the duff as a huge surprise

Yes it is mahoosive..it's called a second marriage...to another twat! She has a 22 yr old and 20 yr old, she had a son last year, who turned 1 last month. She's a glutton for punishment.

And I wouldn't change her for the world...the husband yes her no.


And heck NOOOOOO....I like sleeping too much.

My mother asked if I was broody (I have teenagers and spent last night with his two eldest (13 and 9) as well) - phnarrr!!

And coincidentally a friend produced her son at 10.22am. Today has been a crash course in baby gifts.

Life throws us the curveballs but I'm happier now than I have been for a long time so all good ! And I can afford nice holidays !

10 years younger eh That's where I'm going wrong! Mr skive is 15 years older than me lol. He has 2 boys who are both in their 20s so I've never been a stepmum. He treats me well though so I guess I'm happy too.

and

'dont back chat the old bill if you get done for speeding' Bit late now innit

Thats the biggest regret I have, not finding out 'til I was well into my 30's I could not have kids thanks to my lovely (not) ex, I would have so loved to have had at least one as my husband would have been a fantastic dad.

Still I have my niece and nephew, who I suppose I do spoil, I was asking for advice yesterday for a treat for my niece who has passed her GCSE's and got her college place sorted out.

Gets her the treats, finds some DVD's out, tells Mr PB to work late and bring us a curry in and the little madam phoned me at 4.45 to say she had had a text from her boyfriend (who she had had a row with on Thursday and never, never wanted to see him again!!), that she was going round his house with a couple of her friends tonight and would I mind if we did the pampering thing tomorrow night?

What could I say - I said of course and then gave the little madam my key to be able to let herself in, she hadn't better be late!!

So I suppose it's not all doom and gloom really as my nephew goes to football with me and is staying for the week at half term and he eats me out of house and home!!

I thought either end of kids scissors were equally blunt? I'm suspecting this is less of a kid thing than a bloke thing Queenie.

'Sliding doors' feeling is a good way of describing it. Whatever expectations we had as children go completely awry as time goes on. I guess we should all just be thankful for the lives we have?

I have a friend at work who went through IVF last year, she's only a few years younger than me and we spent many a drunken hour crying on each other's shoulders. Anyway she got pregnant with twins about Easter and at the same time her hubbie got a new job so she handed in her notice to re-locate. I was, am, so consumed with envy that I avoided her for her last few months at school. I couldn't bare to see her tummy growing bigger and of course that's all she wanted to talk about. I would never want to take that away from her and didn't want to somehow spoil it by being so bloody jealous so I kept away from her. I'm glad she's moving away cos I won't have to face the entire pregnancy and birth on a day to day basis.

I know she feels a bit hurt that I haven't been more gushing about her good fortune and I feel bad for that but it just eats me up so bad that it's better if I avoid it.

I think if I let go and just concentrate on what is good then I'll maybe stop having that sliding doors feeling and get on with just living the life I have got.

Been there, know exactly how you feel. I've lost touch with a close mate because of the the same thing.

Time will make it easier honestly.

Yes...they are my life

You're having a curry tonight?

I've had my niece at my house for 2 weeks, she went home yesterday, step dad problems and I miss her. I said she could stay here for good, but she doesn't have her own room and she would miss her friends.

Don't they say natural yoghurt is good for that.

I have a cat with cystitis at the moment. She won't even take the tablets. I've shoved them into everything ... paté, chicken, the most expensive Whiskas I can find. She just sits there smirking at me.

That's it isn't it! Let it go and get on with living. There's a Harry Potter quote (I know but I like HP ) that I've been running through my mind a lot lately. Something like 'it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live'.
