    Good on you! . We went through it 3 times. Seeing our first one off to Otago Uni was a bit traumatic (for all of a few days) but by the time the 3rd one left, it was getting better and better. Jennie celebrated not having to run little parasites around by buying an MX5 - maybe you could do something similar???

    Only one downside though.... the kids left but we are still a storage depot for them. Don't make the same mistake or you'll have stuff forever, haha.

    Enjoy your freedom!

    Mind you, between them they contribute about $400/month in board, so I'm only down by $800/month, or $9600/year.

    Iffen I got rid of them, I could afford a new bike...
    Charge 'em market rates. You will be doing them a favour in the long run and speed up the bike renewal process.

    Find a chick who’s just been dumped and comfort her by massaging her shoulders, and soon, she’ll be massaging your prostate.
