Just seen topic "house swap". Thought I'd introduce a new one - "life swap".

[ssd]

would anyone with even a semi fun and interesting life like to swap my dull, boring one?

sorry but you get no days off, no childcare help, you have an elderly mum to help out, a great dh who has a crap wage, no holidays and hardly a night out in 3 months. Oh and not 1 night away from your kids in 8 years.

I'd like to swap for an interesting job that actually pays decent money, a wide range of friends, a hobby I could do and enjoy, relatives nearby that helped you out with the kids and gave you a break now and then, the same dh even penniless!, the same kids cos they are great even if we spend 24/7 7 days a week together oh and a size 10 body for my fat and frumpy size 14 one.

Any takers(don't all rush at once)

[LucyJones]

could you check on netmums.com for a babysitter so that you and dh could go out?
And size 14 is nothing to be ashamed of.... the average size is 16 so think yourself lucky!!

[foundintranslation]

size 14 is not fat ssd!
got the interesting (but frustrating) job, a great dh with no wage, no relatives to help though, sorry. The top half of my body can sometimes fit a 10, if that helps.

em sounds like my life, except my family are near, but never offer to babysit.

[misdee]

you could have my life.

[ssd]

is yours what I'm looking for misdee?

and thanks for saying a 14 isn't too bad, but team it with 34H norks and 5 foot tall and it's pretty dismal

I'll swap with you, but you have to type pro Bush posts on mumsnet. No family nearby (and they are all crazy anyway, you'll prefer it this way). You will be out of the house and busy all day, but you can forget about a hobby. The kids go to bed at 7:30, and you can do what you like with the rest of the evening, but be too long because you have to be up at 5:00am to get ready for work before the kids get up.

The good news is you can still type on mumsnet at my work so long as you appear busy when the right people are walking past your screen.

Do you still want to swap.

[ssd]

Uwila, I couldn't post the pro Bush request.

I guess thats a no!

wouldn't mind your nanny for a few weeks though!

ermm dont think you would want to swap with me either.... agree about getting a babysitter in.
