My children only exist because of....

[nojellybabies]

Swan Lake. My children didn’t know I liked it till tonight so I told them it’s the reason they exist.

It’s like this:

Lonely musical little girl spends a decade dancing to the record
Is intrigued by the romance and mystery of Russia
Tries to go there
Gets as far as Prague
Meets man
Has babes

You?

My job. Started new job, met DH, had baby. Bit duller than yours I'm afraid.

My friend having a successful blind date in 2004 - my husband and I met at the friend’s wedding 6 years later!

Fertility assistance, sadly. (sadly because it's not very romantic. Do appreciate that without it, I wouldn't have her at all!)

At 37 single, working hard and partying harder. Have PCOS the pill did not work well enough and then I found out I had a very happy surprise.

The internet

Because the bouncer wouldn’t let me into the nightclub I’d been going to every Friday night for most of my teens/twenties cos he said I was underage (23) Had to go to a different one and met my husband there.

Because my first pregnancy I ended and I vowed no matter what circumstances I was in I'd never go through that again.

A Malibu promotional night hat in a terrible nightclub that me and my best friend went to on a whim. He had a hat on. I wanted it.

My randomly assigned university flat mate. She (through her then boyfriend/now husband) introduced me to my DH.

The World Cup.

Despite the fact I hate football I went to a friend's World Cup Final barbecue party - it was a sunny weekend afternoon with booze involved so that's why I went. That's where I met DP.

My parents needing to borrow a van. We called in at my friend's grandmother's house to ask to borrow the van and my now husband was visiting there. After that he seemed to pop up everywhere! We got married about a year after we first met.

Modern medicine. No way there have been a good outcome in olden times!

Clomid and ovulation tests!

...my fucking awful taste in men.

My children only exist because of our kitchen tiler.

We were having a new kitchen out in. Was meant to take 2 weeks, finishing up the week before Christmas. We were meant to be going to PiLs fir Christmas.

Except the tiler was much slower than anticipated and didn’t finish until Christmas Eve, which meant we were at home for the weekend, when we should have been in twin beds in the PiLs house (yes we were married, but still). Which is when DS was conceived.

My youthful self deciding to leave the country for a while to clear my head from thoughts of my ex... Definitely got more than I bargained for! Met DH, and 17 years on we are still very much in love...
Also, problems getting repeat pill prescriptions, but I will not be telling them that.

A level maths where I sat next to DH

I'm not suggesting you can get pregnant by sitting next to a man :o

A power Cut!

Vodka, my children only exsist because of vodka

By working on a cruise ship.... we meet at a crew party after a couple of beers.. and four years later baby number one is on her way!!

Because of a teacher in school who had faith in me and told me i would be able to achieve entrance into university despite me thinking otherwise - so i applied, got in and met my DH there!

I went round to my friends' flat. They were all too busy to go out with me. I was all dressed up and keen to go out so I condescended to go out with their nerdy flat mate instead. 30 years and five DC later...

I fell in a hole.
Twisted my ankle.
Went to the pub to recover.
Met DP to be.

4 years later gp decides I should change my contraception.

So it's cos of a hole and a dodgy GP!

In the case of the eldest three, being locked in a garage with a boy at a party when I was 16. Married him at 20, had three babies. Divorced at 28.

This little one, copious quantities of very nice stout. Spent five tipsy hours talking to DP, then I jumped on him. Have been inseparable since.
