I don't get to go out with my girlfriends as often as I used to but now that the twins aren't as little, I try to take some time for myself every now and then. I love playing pool.

Timorous me

Round 26: Spring 2023
last update/next update

Betsy and Kimberly Carmody are both 52 and Susannah is 13.
(Sarah is 18 and Malcolm is 13)

Narrated by Susannah Carmody

Note: for clarity's sake, Susannah calls Kimberly "Mama" and Betsy "Mum".

My parents want to take a family holiday sometime, which I really don't want to do. Who am I supposed to hang out with? There's no way Sarah will want to go and they're not going to let me stay home either.

The Draper-Gottlieb wedding

Round 26: Spring 2023

Rose Draper and Joanna Gottlieb are both 28.

Joanna and Rose's wedding day comes almost exactly a year after their engagement.

After fending off protests from both sets of parents (who wanted to hold a more lavish do), they've been able to have the wedding they always wanted - a simple ceremony, in their backyard at home.

In limbo

Round 26: Spring 2023
last update/next update

Julian Sitko is 73, David is 41, Kirstin is 39, Camilla and Lila are both 10 and Adelaide is 5.

Narrated by David Sitko

Since Collette's death, I think everyone in our household is coping as well as can be expected. Dinner was very quiet the first couple of nights but I just wanted to make sure everyone ate something. Kirstin and Julian didn't have much of an appetite.

Lia's baby bump is barely there but it is, finally, there and she and husband Gordon couldn't be more excited!

(Claudia and Victoria are both 22 and Tessa is 14)

Narrated by Rebecca Kirby

I wish I was old enough to live on my own. I love going over to Claudia's house. She's so lucky. It must be awesome to have your own place to completely fill up with all of your stuff.

Tiny spark

Round 26: Winter 2023
last update/next update

Lake Draper is 66, Kendal is 47 and Chris is 8.
(Patience Draper and Calvin Clarke are both 21, Rob Ashton is 22, Rose Draper is 28, and Zelda Benton is 48)

Narrated by Kendal Draper

Our new house is smaller than our old place in Exeter but it's absolutely beautiful. The fact that it's smaller makes it feel a little less empty. But it's definitely drove home the fact that we won't be having another baby, which I'm still feeling a little wistful about.
