My husband  (passed away now) was one of a set of twins born 9 April. His parents then had another set of twins born 24 April 2 years later so they had 4 kids two and under!  The neighbours  formed the village to help raise them.

I have also noticed all the gambling ads, particularly during the evening news which is prime time I guess. I even complained about them to the ACMA who said they are following all the guidelines so bad luck ( basically).

I knew I had Irish roots, but this just confirms it!!

I don't watch MAFS very often because I find the whole concept so disturbing on so many levels. I also feel so sorry for these contestants ( probably not the correct word) as they seem to have such unrealistic expectations of what a good,  meaningful and realistic relationship is and I'm pretty sure they are going to be so screwed up in the head after going through this toxic environment. Just YUK!

Oh you poor little thing losing your sister. My advice would be to try to treat your sister's kids the same way you always have. Children are very resillient and while the little darlings have lost their Mum, they have a life to live and surely you would want that life  to be joyful. Certainly it will be tinged with grief, but having a person to bond with who loves their mother as well will be endlessly good for them, especially if you can talk about her and keep her memory alive.

I dropped a day working last year to 4 days a week. I work for a Tradie and also start work early so I an finished  at lunchtime each day. Fantastic boss and I love my shorter working week.

You can bet your life they would cause health problems if we all walked round bleeding all over the place. This has been an absolute disgrace since the GST was introduced. VERY sexist Government attitude.
