My sister had 4y+ between hers and wouldn't have had it any other way.

Astarte · 13/01/2009 15:50

Ooh citing...what dosage etc?

idobelieveinfairies · 13/01/2009 15:51

I have a 5 bed victorian house with huuggeee rooms..apart from the kitchena nd bathroom.....really we should have a 6 bed but we are ok here.

Dropdeadfred · 13/01/2009 15:54

so how is the sharing worked out I dobelieve? do they all still live at home?

idobelieveinfairies · 13/01/2009 15:55

Yes, oldest is only 15.

i have 6 boys , 2 girls...the girls have a room each as there is an 11 year age gap.

3 boys in 2 rooms..and then my room.

idobelieveinfairies · 13/01/2009 15:56

does that make sense?!

Dropdeadfred · 13/01/2009 15:57

yes....sorry i did read the age range so should have known they were all still at home!!
Do you have a dh/partner? (just wondered as you said my room?)

largeginandtonic · 13/01/2009 15:58

Am taking 30c, two at a time every 3 hours. Second day of it so will do it tomorrow then break for a couple of days.

We have a 5 bed but could do with a 6 really. Next time we move.

idobelieveinfairies · 13/01/2009 15:59

And i always get told off for saying my room..my house etc....by him.

Astarte · 13/01/2009 16:06
