This is the thing, treasure those days when your kids are young ,one blink and there gone.
Mine are in their mid twenties now and I don't see one of my sons for weeks on end (ones coming round today as it happens) the other has a family of his own.

I'm 28 at the end of the month, but some people I work with are sometimes as young as 16- they don't know who Paul Daniels or Barry manilow are!

My wife, seriously just sat next to her looking at her haggard face and withering body, makes me thing st she's the good looking one. Now bless her she couldn't pull in a rugby locker room.

But still it could be worse she still has all her teeth.
