Thanks Sherie, That makes sence - I'll have a go... in a few months... LOL

MD ~ I grew up like an only child & i have to say the only time it bothered me was when i had no one to go on rides with at amusement parks or have fun with on holidays, I had alot of really close friends always at my house as a kid though. My sister is 10 years older then me & we're best friends... She made a massive effort to keep close to me though, even when she was going through all the teenage years, moved out of home, had her own family & all that so i guess if she didn't we wouldn't be so close. DF & Bil are also 10 years apart & we make a huge effort to include him in our lives so the bond is still there.
