cheers, when someone emails you something, you have to copy the URL of the emailed item, not the URL of the email. This has happened before - if you copy the URL of the email, we all just get sent to a Gmail log-in page, because we don't have access to your email account.

For all of you over there in the Uk, this arrived in my inbox. Wish I could take advantage of it.

Thought I would try to keep this thread going! The Queen will be 60 years on the throne tomorrow.

They were just talking about that on the news. Queen Victoria was on the throne for 63 years, so I wonder if she will beat that record.
My middle son turns 18 tomorrow.

Pauline, do you want to feel young??

My daughter was 40 last November and my grand-daughter was 16 in January and has just got her L-plates this week.

Doesn't seem 2 minutes since she was born and now she will be tearing up the highways!!

Mummy in the foothills

Yes they do tear up the highway don't they. Alex is already driving has been since he was 15.5 and got his full license at 16. He decided to take the day off school tomorrow and go to the pictures and lunch with his girlfriend, not sure what her parents think of that she isn't 18 till summer.
She is one smart cookie, has got into every uni she has applied to, including Cornell, so she's raring to get to Uni wherever she decides to go.
Of course I still have my baby at home, she's 7 now.

My daughters are 36 and 34 - makes me feel old although I had them when I was young (I'm 58). Grand-children are 6 and 4. Today's young women take their time before having children - not like we did. In some ways it's better and in other ways it isn't. I was reading an article recently regarding the increasing number of twins being born in the USA. Apparently a lot of women are waiting until their mid to late 30s before having children, and then find out they have fertility problems and then have fertility treatments - hence the twins. Several managers in the company I work for have had twins in the past year - all women in their late 30s having their first babies.

My daughter is 42 Bee! I was married at 19 and had her at 20. Funny because I used to tell everyone that I wasn't going to marry until I was 40. My baby is 31.

... and may there be many more!

I was married at 18 oh foolish me!!! My baby son is 37.

Mummy in the foothills

I'm really not that much different in age, I just started late with the kids. I'll be 50 next month oldest is 23 next one 18(today) and little one is 7 (bit of a mid life crisis there I think) Many of my UK friends are already Grandmas too.

That reminded me of our next door neighbour when I was growing up in England. She had 3 boys and then suddenly in her 40s she was expecting another. My Mum was giving those meaningful looks when she discussed it with people so even though I was a child, I guessed that it was some sort of surprise. It was a girl! and Mrs H. was sooooo happy.

I thought this article might be of interest:

How sad for these families

cheers

Were you better off 8 years ago?

What I see is a lot of people are out spending money like they have never had it so good. I don't get it?
