This is a good place to chat, I hope you enjoy being here and feel it's stimulating. Have fun. The more you write, the more you get to be a part of the place.

They were all under five years old at one stage. That was fairly hectic, it got less so. We staggered our start and finish hours at work and hired a nanny after the second was born. By the time they were all at school we shifted to four-day weeks at work and staggered the other three days. By that point we'd learned to drive and got a car so we could ferry the wretches between their innumerable after-school activities (they were close enough to walk to and from school but the evenings were packed). Why anyone in their right mind would encourage their offspring to get keen on gym, ballet or taking over the local scout troop I'm not sure but that's how it turned out.

Go on, tell us about yours, what they like doing, how they get on together. Mine have always been good friends, and four's a neat number because there's never two "in" with each other and one out in the cold, they can form shifting pairs whenever there's any friction.

Sunday's a good day to have chosen to introduce yourself.

I hope you enjoy the Garden and spot is absolutely right, the more you post, the more enjoyment you have. Of course with me the more I post the more strife I get into but that's because I'm an inveterate smart-arse. :D


Strife :confused: i hope there's not to much of that around here . I don't like arguements :(



edited to add = sorry i didn't say hi so hi .

Its a well documented fact that the English enjoy eating children. Do you have any "special" soup recipes you would care to share ?

Hello from California, Nicky! Well, we know that your life is never boring :wah: but you can always find someone here in the garden, since we seem to be located all over the world!

It can take a long time to figure out how to get around the various forums here, etc...so, if you get confused, just send someone a private message or open a new thread & someone will help you.

There are some very good people here...I know.
