I'm 23, mammy to a gorgeous 9 month old boy. Hes my world and I don't know what I'd do without him. Hes keeps me busy but for some crazy reason I'm really really broody!

Delighted for you and your missus and new baby Stovelid:)

Well, a year on since I last posted here I think and not too much has changed except the 4 kids I have (16,13,11 and 8) have gotten soooooo much bigger but thankfully not any bolder!!

Finished my 2nd year of my science degree and got the results I'd been aiming for which made me very, very happy!!!

On a downer note my 8yr od was diagnosed as being dyspraxic (Developmental co-ordination disorder) which is being sorted by Enable Ireland but on an up note my eldest won an National Irish Championship gold medal rowing for his school!!:)

All in all, we as a family are not richer in terms of money since last year but we certainly are richer in terms of happiness and contentment and I can't ask for more than that:)

Hi all, I'm a 38 year old single mum to the best daughter in the world. I have just moved back to Ireland after 11 years in the UK and am loving being back home.

Now that I have my daughter settled in school it is time for me to start back on the job hunt

Khannie

Welcome home.

Good luck with the job hunt. What do you do?

Thank you, it's so nice to be back

I'm looking for any office type work really. Worked as a Business Analyst for the last couple of years but was an Ops manager before that and have done a lot of customer service work and logisitics. So can really turn my hand to anything. The problem seems to be that most vacancies are for people with a second language and unfortunately that is 1 skill I don't have :rolleyes:

I'll keep applying though and fingers crossed something will come right for me

Suppose I should put a bit about myself in here.

I'm 30, married and living in Galway. We have one son, James who's almost 7 and a half months. He's a cool little fella, has a smile for everyone and is full of life. We hope to give him a sibling at some stage in the future but my god, not yet!

Knit wit

I'm 34 married mother of 2 (11 and 8). Just when u get through the toddler years, along comes puberty! This forum is very useful ... Will try my best to contribute more

Kimono-Girl

im 24, engaged, we have 1 daughter Emma 14 months, not planning on giving her a sibling (she seems the type to stick stamps on the new baby and try to post it) so we're sticking with our one attention loving daughter!:D (she's not spoiled honestly)

i am currently a stay at home mom although im studying accountancy by night! J2D2 is 23 works in the pharmaceutical industry here in cork. Dotes on his daughter.

all in all i couldn't ask for more!

Isnt it great that during the "Doom and Gloom" that the children (ours 21 and 16) in our lives put a smile on our faces and they are free!! :), Life goes on, keep smiling. You spend the first 2 yrs teaching your child to walk and talk, and the next 16 years telling them to "Sit down and be quiet"

I know that feeling. We have had chest infections in the house for the last 3 weeks, it was like a cascade fail as one by one we succumed. Both kids have been off school with it,
7 school days missed so far. Hopefully they will be back in before the week is out.

Seven days is rough. Hope they're better soon. Were you all suffering the same time...

Our four-month old has tonsillitis and both me and his mum caught laryngitis and a chest infection off each other. Doctor bills all over...

Not as bad as getting all at once though.
