We've got plenty of land to build on, but our house has already been built onto over the years and it was never really done right to allow for extra adding on in the future. The catholic school here doesn't cover much at all - parents still have to buy ALL stationery including pencils etc from Kindergarten plus their uniforms and at $1000 per term per child I can't see how that is a value for money education kwim?
I don't know that I want an extra bathroom - more cleaning for a start but I grew up in a 4 child family with only one bathroom and it was never an issue. Sometimes an extra loo would be great though.
ETA - hey Bek! I missed your post. I did feel like that a few years ago because I was at the stage where playgroup alone wasn't cutting it for stimulation for me but then we started with preschool and then school so that's kept me busy being involved with the preschool committee and I have found other areas to get involved too - I was a part of a reunion committee for our district and published a book on the area and now that they are older I am looking to go to uni and I'm starting a summer course next month to give me better standing to apply for a degree course in 2011 as the kids will be older then and I will be looking to do something just for me by then I think. Plus going to uni will give me a career just in time to combat the empty nest LOL - by the time I finish it DS1 will be 18 and it wont be long after that they will all be gone.
