Unfortunately now for some of us, having ticked off mortgage, marriage and babies we have now graduated to 'divorce'. That was never in our original plans.<br /><br />Perhaps for us we need to look ahead to a treble part 2 9The Sequel!) - divorce/remarriage/step-children?!<br /><br />Lovely blog xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272181942422526971.post-66820175343629048622012-04-02T08:44:05.506+01:002012-04-02T08:44:05.506+01:00Thanks for your comment.

Ive got the mortgage and the baby but no rock constituting the marriage (although I'm working bloomin hard on that one, let me tell you!) And it does indeed make me feel very grown up!! It's actually a little scary when you put it like that!
