Also see you DONT make cakes. Neither do I - I can't bake without burning. I either buy cakes from our local farm shop and put it on a paper plate with my name on it or get my friend who runs a catering firm to do one.!!!!

AND ANOTHER THING... they are all lean with flat stomachs and proper hairdresser haircuts! Call me shallow, but that's just not natural, after you've hatched several small humans and then spent the years running around after them!!!!!
I don't do the cake thing, - but I always end up on the ruddy "grotty second hand soft toy" tombola at the fair... d'you think they see me coming!?!

YES. They probably do see you coming. Strangely, you have just described the village I live in - I'm totally on your wavelength apart from the haircuts. I have to look half decent for work so have to go to a proper hairdresser and pay a fortune.

Re: Women over 40?
again - I feel the same way although my kids are only 14 and 10 - I have also the thought of starting a new career or even not a career at all - would be good that my husband will earn enough for me not to work ... being 40 has definitely got its benefits.... you become a lot more bold in decisions ... hence us all wanting / being in Oz... never knock your age ... we only get one chance in life and what better way to take that chance but going to Oz.

The South Coast meet is a group of us getting together to meet, some of us for the first time, and exchanging tips/stories etc or just a good gossip!
This is my first one so not too sure what to expect, but apparently they're good fun.
It's called the South Coast meet because it's being held near Portsmouth. Look out for the thread called "South Coast Meet". Very apt title don't you think?
All the details are on there. 3pm tomorrow. The Farm House (Hungry Horse), Burrfields Road, PortsmouthJULIE

Go girls I admire your spirit
Its more about changing yourself than country tho
as Hevs said OZ has a very scary housewife mentality :scared: can just imagine you lot trying to break free in a country where women still wash up, collect tupperware, bake cake, and get the men a beer
