You need alot of room to play some of those games. With mario kart you just need the wheel and can sit on the sofa. Bowling requires you get off your arse adn pretend your really doing it. Your arm will hurt for a few days, but hey, it's exercise.

I've got 4 godchildren here...3 girls and 1 boy. Christmas was a tad expensive for those ones...and two of them have birthdays very close to the big day.

Since Chris found his 'blood' family - he was adopted when he was 6 months old - we decided that we could only send birthday cards, otherwise we would be bankrupt, there are soooooooo many relatives and they are all very close. It's very nice I must say, but could be terribly expensive if you weren't strict with buying stuff.

I have approx 40 neices, nephews, great nieces and great nephews. I have truely lost count. We have a rule in the family that once they reach 16, they don't get birthday or Christmas gifts so we can concentrate on the younger children. Most of mine are teenagers. I haven't a clue who they are talking about or what they are saying except for the stroppy 'Yeah, whatever?????' All are fantastic kids with good college records and jobs except one. Bailing him out of his local police station has become the norm. He has been arrested 10 times in one year. I just don't get it. He's been brought up exactly the same as the others. He gives his seat up on the bus for a lady, holds doors open for the elderly and will always look for a bin for his rubbish. What is it with him???I can't even say that he's in with the wrong crowd.......... he is the wrong crowd.

nice place you have here, but that monkey has to go!

Hi Oscar !! Wow what an extended family you have !! I suppose every extended family has to have a 'black' sheep (oops dark grey ). Chris's side have one of those , languishing in jug doing a second stint of porridge - can't get off the drugs, mixing with idiots etc. Seems to be the usual thing for causing them to go off the rails. I thank goodness that none of my side have one of those.

Hope you are OK Oscar, and looking forward to the 'meet' at the weekend, it's a shame that poor old Jimbo is incapacitated (not through drink ) - of course it may be that you frightened him to death with your promises of practising your karate on him ! But I will warn you that he is my fave FG fella Mrs.................. , he has a big heart !
