I should try to make more of an effort really.

Are you from Albert Square? Or Hollyoaks Village?

..I have a huge extended family..my dad was one of 14 children..my mum was one of 9...they're scattered in every corner of the world..I couldn't possibly keep track of them...I'm probably related to most people I meet...

...my OH was born near Filey btw..as a child he used to holiday there most years...a very popular place by the sound of it...

I only really see aunts/uncles/cousins at events like weddings or funerals. I am very close to my brothers though and I think my kids will see more of their aunts/uncles/cousins then I did

None at all. My immediate family isn't even really

Not at all. Family feuds pretty much killed off all family contact. One of my cousins was in my year at school and we're in the same group of friends but because our families don't speak I don't even consider him family, just as a friend. Also when I was on holiday last year in Corfu, I bumped into another cousin of mine in the airport there waiting to fly back, first time I'd seen her in over 5 years and it's in a Greek airport. Weird!

I only have a fairly small family. My mum was an only one and dad had one brother. I hardly see my brother either as he lives down south and works away a lot. Don't really see my cousins even though they live around 20 mins away....just get texts from time to time. should make more of an effort really but like others on here there was a big family bust up years ago and everyone drifted..shame

Most live in London/outskirts so yes.

I have one aunt though who moved to Oman about 12 years ago with her husband and her kids were born there. Last time I saw her was when I was really young and I've never met those cousins.
