Ahh the life as a kid in a big family.

I was one of 6 as well hun...we used to put plastic up over the windows in the winter cause it was too cold. Tea time was get in get your food or else someone else will eat it. No time for anyone to be fussy. My sister was told everything was liver for 2 years or else she wouldnt eat it.

Sounds like I could of written that myself! Youngest of 6 also and many of the hand-me-downs were more like antiques, my eldest sister is 17 years older and the closest is 5 years older. That was the only thing I can think of though, I guess we were pretty lucky.

Can’t say I would have it any different really, I had a fantastic childhood with never a dull moment.

My auntie is due her 6th (planned) baby in a couple of weeks, I don't get to see them all very often as they are down South, but when I do it's a bloody madhouse - 4 boys, 1 girl and 1 bump.

I'd of loved more than two.

We were so poor our dog had no legs

During the winter we all used to sit around a candle, if it was really cold we used to light  it

We couldn't afford shoes, my mam used to black our feet and lace our toes up
