Looking for a mid-life crisis theme

Knit one, purl necklace one.

Yeah, that's the best I could come up with, too.

Mine was giong to be something along the lines of only needing one knitting needle but thats not exactly a compliment thinking about it so will leave it.

Really?? Where is our invite for a night out then? Beats having a first beer, getting caught looking at the totty out of the corner of my eye and have an argument for the rest of the night.

Anytime. The weekend will be starting on Wednesday evening this week going through until the early hours of Sunday.

Fancy swapping lives for a bit?

Learn to fly, buy a wee plane. Doesn't require any strenuous exercise, cheaper to run than a boat, visit lots more exciting places than ports full of the yellow welly brigade.

You could go to Florida and get your license in a couple of weeks but spend some time with an instructor back in blighty to get used to the local area and weather.

Do we get to swap clothes as well?

I have five years on you, OG.

I've been looking into moving somewhere 'exotic', but am having a hard time convincing Mrs LS to do the same. She's very risk averse, and likes the safety and security of predictability and familiarity. Having no children helps from both a financial and mobility perspective though.

Locations we've considered include Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Ecuador, Panama, Argentina. Still a work in progress.....

Mrs OG is keen to move as well. She only came to the UK for 3 years and has been here now for 17 years. Financial imperatives mean that we need to work (at least one of us). Her profession is more mobile and mine is better paid so we need to find a magic solution.

Having kids isn't meaningless

No but it is bloody expensive.

Get them jobs, make them pay their own way.

Turn them into profit centres.
