Welcome to my Home-On-The-Web
for larger families in the U.K.

If you...

• find yourself counting heads constantly whenever you have a family outing...

• are on first-name terms with the receptionists at your GP's surgery...

• find that people carriers do just that - you haven't any room for musical instruments, sports kit, pets or shopping once you're all in...

• discover that insurance companies are firmly convinced that all vehicles with more than 5 seats are plying for hire as minibuses...

• notice that health & education professionals tend to assume that there is an inverse correlation between the size of your family & the size of your brain...

• find that even professional photographers have trouble getting you all in shot...

• think you'll strangle the next stranger to say,"Haven't you got a telly?/Are they all yours?/However do you cope?"...

• suspect that "Leisure Time" and "Disposable Income" are concepts dreamed up by underworked & overpaid popular psychologists...

then this is the site for you!

***   Apologies!   ***

For some puzzling reason, I seem to be rather short of time for updating the site just now!

But I'm working on a major re-vamp - please bear with me for a while, and visit the Forum for more inspiration from other people living with the same kind of joys and disasters!

Tips & tricks that have helped me stretch my budget...

*** A trouble shared is a trouble halved? ***
Exchange ideas, info & goods with others in the same boat...

I have defined a larger family as four or more children, however acquired, as according to the Office for National Statistics, as at 16/05/2002 the "average" family in the UK has 1.64 children, and standard houses and cars are clearly not designed for people with more than 3 children. We are always being told that households are getting smaller - well, not mine! I'm not advising more people to have big families, or saying that the Government should give us more money - though wouldn't it be nice! - just hoping that by exchanging ideas and information, we can make life a bit easier for ourselves. Your input is vital - please email articles, ideas, tips & tricks for me to add in.

Perhaps you offer goods or services that might be of interest to us? For example, large vehicles with long interest-free payment plans?! Or membership of cash & carry warehouses? Contact me with details & I'll pass them on provided it is a genuine offer.

There are links to other sites at the foot of most pages; please let me know if any are broken.
