You can never have enough...

Hi ladies
Long time lurker (even from back at the trade me days)
I love reading all your posts and hearing about what your all up to
I'm in hawkes bay, early 40s, 3 dogs, 1 13 year old daughter and a hubby
Love crocheting, gardening, being a slave to the three dogs who rule the house and timeline during the day.
I'm just having my morning tea break at work so decided to post instead of lurking all the time

Zoe, you have my sympathy - a 13 year old daughter! At one point I had THREE teenage boys...so naturally I now have grey hair & massive amounts of wrinkles.
But you do get through it. Eventually.
And in the fullness of time with any sort of luck they grow up & you get grandkids, a massive bonus, being a gran is the best.

And of course...the other thing is that eventually, you get to see your kids dealing with their very own teenagers!

Hi Popeye,
I have induction, love it, very quick and very easy to control. Had ceramic prior to this, I liked that too. The ease of cleaning, for me, is great. I cook and bake a lot, and I am messy!!, the only thing I found a little annoying is if I have dropped or spilt something while cooking, if the cloth is a bit too wet when wiping up, the whole top shuts down, safety feature apparently, but a bit of a pain if your are doing something that needs constant stirring at a regular heat. Should teach me to be more tidy, but it hasn't.
I think you will like it.

Hi Zoe,
I am  long time lurker as well, occasionally post, but I also love reading about all the antics the regulars get up to.
I am in my 70,s have two dogs, one cat and a parrot, it is like a mad house here some days, but not boring.
I probably lurk more because i am not a gardener, do not sew, I can, but don't, I can knit but again don't, love cooking and baking. The dogs are St John therapy dogs, so that keeps us busy, but that is being discontinued next year.
Have a great day.

GJW, me too as to the age thing but I have just one dog & one cat - I know when I'm beaten.

I can also knit & sew & have done so in the past but don't now, can't be arsed but also harder to see. Have gone off cooking but still do some gardening.
Hope the two of you stick around.
