To buy a trampoline as a childless adult

I have recently bought my first house... always loved trampolines as a child. Have seen someone advertising a secondhand trampoline on Facebook at a good price. WIBU to buy one and put it in my garden? I'm single and don't have any kids. My next door neighbours are a retired couple and I'm worried they would judge me bouncing in the next garden over!

I imagine they'll be too busy offering up Holy Novenas and goat sacrifices in grateful thanks for you not bringing in a horde of screaming kids to ruin their blissful retirement peace.

Absolutely. But it now!

Have you been on one since being a kid? I’d maybe see if you enjoy it as much as a grown up. Sometimes I have a go with the kids and it’s really not fun anymore!

Go for it! Love a shot on my kids trampoline when it's free. Who cares what anyone thinks?

Go for it! They are great exercise.

It's the things we don't do that we tend to regret, rather than the things we do...

She doesn't have kids, it'll be in great condition.

Might not be after the trampoline.

What about your pelvic floor?
