It sure beats working for a living though eazybee and I know who gets the last laugh and it aint us.

I could put up with it Nonnie . I have worked with my DH for more than 25 years, I have "bite your tongue" in front of the paying customers off to a fine art.

Probably a rest from people criticising everything she does, says and wears, and gearing up to do the same with the Royal Wedding.

Just imagine having to look your best all the time, never being able to give your DH or children one of those 'looks', having to be polite to stupid people who are saying the same thing you have heard over and over again. Nope, not for me.

Well, it isnt the planet Real Life, that’s for sure.
But I guess it never has been has it?
I don’t think I’d like the rest of my life planned so rigidly for me though, and my childrens, and their childrens.............

Phew glad you found an answer ooopsadaisy12 I was really very puzzled .

My DD (who is also 33 weeks pregnant ) is still working 40 hours a week (on her feet the whole time ) , travelling by public transport another 8-10 hours and starts her ( short) maternity leave on 15th April.

I wonder what planet these royals are on?

Yes, I always love to hear that the Royals are going on holidays ....holidays from what ?

I read something the other day which reported on an event, saying she had attended with her baby bump. What did they expect she would leave it at home.¨hmm

Royal Duties? It's a hard life grin

Oopsadaisy12 Wed 21-Mar-18 12:14:42

Hold on, I’m racking my brain, I’m sure there’s an answer to that somewhere.........
I guess that it’s a break from getting up in the morning, have someone dress you and drive you somewhere, where people will bow and scrape and expect you to smile?
Oh and give you gifts, lots of gifts.
Yep that’s it.

I am easily wound up at the best of times and The Daily Mail are really quite good at it, but this headline is just a step too far for me today !

It's easy being green! Pregnant Kate looks blooming in mint as she attends a child mental health symposium in London ahead of her maternity leave

Maternity Leave ??? From what? confused
