Well its finally happened, my eldest kids have moved outta home!!!!!!

Now i know ive been waiting for this day with anticipation,,,,two spare rooms, means a scrap room, smaller food bills, no worrying about them being out late, no arguements and no more sibling rivalry...

But....

But,,,,

im feeling very lonely and ...hmmmm, childless.

Yes i know i have two others at home, still when i think of my babies..lol, out in the big world, i feel a page of my lfe has turned, a chapter closed....

and when i told craig just how i felt, with my little chickens flying the coup...

his reply was

......lets feather the nest with more chicks!

Now i do hope he means the feathered variety, or perhaps a puppy or kitten....

But i really cant complain cause they have been home every day since they moved out on Wednesday..lol..

Phone rings..."mum how do we put on the electricity?..."..

Phone rings... "mum could you come over and bring my clothes out of the washing machine...?"

Phone rings....."mum how does the washing machine work?"

Phone rings....."ummmmmm do we have gas or electricity????"

car pulls in drive way, all the kids pile out...'mum can you make us a list of all the things we will need in the kitchen....

"mum do we need a shopping list?

what do we put on the shopping list?

how much will it cost?

how do we pay bills?

can you come shopping?

yes this was day one and the others have been pretty much the same...

and this is monday and still two kids are here, getting dinner, cause they havnt planned out who will be cooking what days... using the dryer, the computer, asking for some money...

Hmmm so much for moving out....lol..
