I may be mad but having just had my fourth baby 12 weeks ago I am seriously broody again. Feel we may be permanently broke from now on anyway, wondering how Ill ever afford childcare to get back to work but due to 2 mcs my baby feels a bit stuck on the end - other 3 are 9,7 and 4. Seriously thinking about just not using contraception and seeing if a 5th happens. Is this just coz Im nearly 37 and hearing my biological clock for the first time? Or am I just mad coz Im postnatal? would anyone else go for it?

We're getting a traveliner, 9 seater with quite alot of room. Hope I can park it ok . I'm hoping to give them all an allocated seat to stop the "Can I sit in the front/middle?" crap. Drives me crazy.

largeginandtonic · 01/01/2007 23:47

we are getting a vw transporter any day now! 8 seater!

kittyinwaiting · 01/01/2007 23:53

We though about a transporter but it doesn't fit under multistory car park height things. Well in theory, ours will, but I won't be able to park the thing or turn those tight corners

CatherineEarnshaw · 01/01/2007 23:54

ours does!! we checked that and saw one in one the other day!!!!

CatherineEarnshaw · 01/01/2007 23:55

its just under 2m high without roof box and multistory in leeds 2.58

kittyinwaiting · 01/01/2007 23:55

kittyinwaiting · 01/01/2007 23:58

Well ours makes our Zafira look like a mini coupe, ho hum, guess I'll get used to it eventually. What colour are you getting?

CatherineEarnshaw · 01/01/2007 23:59

silver there was not much choice - i am very nervous actually

CatherineEarnshaw · 01/01/2007 23:59

what is yours then? what make?

MamazonAKAfatty · 01/01/2007 23:59

im eldest of 10.

my youngest brother is a year younger than my son (bro is 5)

I would say that if your happy and healthy and both you and your partner can offer the love and stable homelife for an extra child then go for it.

there are far more important things in life than money. as much as we all moan about having a large family i dont think there is a single one of us that would want to be an only child.

kittyinwaiting · 02/01/2007 00:00

Silver's good really, you don't have to clean them and they don't look dirty and the scratches don't show up nearly as much
