I had to look up 'midlife crisis', I wasn't sure what it actually is.........I have been accused of having had one, been in the middle of it, and will be having it soon...all in the space of the last four years!
If it's where you go out and spend hard earned money on 'stupid things' like sports cars, flash holidays, flying lessons, new clothes, radio control 'bits', toys, power tools etc., then I'm guilty as charged.
BUT - I'm 52 next birthday, our last child is off at Uni' (albeit with our 'sponsorship') and we finally have free time, the money that was always put aside for the kids is now 'spare'. Seeing as we had children from the day we were married in our case it's more of a long overdue honeymoon - not a crisis.
We decided that we have done our bit for family it's now our time to grow old disgracefully......but we have been told recently that we are to become grandparents early next year - so that may well throw a spanner in the works....but as they say life happens, bring it on - a grandchild could be another excuse for more toys!
