anyone got five children?

[rosylizzie]

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?

I think it's going to be a maroony/ red ( doesn't bode well for scratches and cleaning) and a mercedes Traveliner 9 seater. We thought about the transporter, but this was just a tad smaller.

Off to bed

yes we NEARLY got mercedes viano bt our older 3 are 10,12 14 and getting big so room is important!

Yes the vaneo thing is too small and sounds like an ice cream!!

May be largeG&T, but not easy to find someone; it's much harder to if you've 5 chidlren, work full time and support them all than if you're the ex husband on whom all the ex wife's money was endowed as it were on the divorce settlement, with all the money and none of the financial and practical responsibilities. Rich single man with no responsibilities v full time working mother of 5 with big debts. I know who I'd prefer.

On cars, more mundanely, we have a 15 year old Volvo estate with seats in the boot which therefore seats 7, but if you have a wide range of ages it's quite rare that you all travel together anyway and we tend to use the tube or trains to travel. In fact the older 3 all passed their driving test at age 17, one of my achievements of the last few years.
