Hi Mumof6 it does tend to get quiet in here a lot lately! When i first joined this was my favourite thread! It was full of great people and we always managed to find the time to get in here. In saying that we have all gone on to have more children and i think time is just not something we all have a lot of now.

I will be trying to make an effort to get in here a bit more, although i think once a day may be pushing it for meat the moment!

Anyway everyone I have decided (FINALLY) what it is I want to do with my life (apart from raising my beautiful family). I think having my eldest DS leave the nest has made me realise that thats how its going to be now, rather than bringing more into the family home they are all going to start leaving the nest every 2 or 3 years. This saddens me greatly but if they all leave with a good head on their shoulder and a wonderful heart like my eldest than i will be a very happy and proud Mummy. But it has made me think long and hard about what it is I want for a career. I have decided that what i really want to do is become a Midwife! I will have to do a ATPP course first but thats only 1 year. So my dream is that within the next 7 years i will become a fully qualified MW. The saddest part is that I will have to leave my babies to do it as being in the country i can't do it here, so in about 3 years i will leave my home to achieve my goal. If i can convince myself that my children will survive without me that is!

Ok well i have rambled heaps and now have to get back to writing invites for my DS 18th that is coming up at a rate of knots! I hope everyone is well and hopefully we will get a bit more chatty in here over time.
Night All
