Help them when they help themselves, thats my motto This is pretty much our aim too. Growing up we were not at all well off, and so as soon as we all hit 14 and 9months or whatever age it was you could start working, we all got part time jobs. I think it made us appreciate the value of money and working towards something, not just expecting it for nothing. Hopefully we can instill the same values in our kids (although I already think they're way too spoilt and materialistic but that's a different rant Gees 6yr old girls can accumulate a lot of crap!) Instead of being jealous of people's homes on this forum, I just copy their ideas Isn't imitation the highest form of flattery? But I'd love a big fat pool right now too, totally over this over-30 degree weather!! its November for crying out loud!! Caz & Co ALL MOVED IN!! Now comes all the hard work-decorating....

I must admit, I packed up the lower bunk and set up my queen bed around a month ago.... I couldn't take it anymore. So his top bunk goes across the end of the queen bed now. There has been advantages. I think we would have been far more disconnected than we are now if we hadn't been sharing and getting a chance for a chat. I am very removed from them down here. I'm on the computer all the time.... there isn't enough room for us all to sit in the lounge... I even eat tea here and I can just block things out. My fat, waste of space brother, watches TV all day every day... constantly war docos, stupid Ice Road Truckers or some such rubbish. Then if by chance I ask to watch something (yes, ask, in my house! ), he sits there with his head in his hand and sighs the whole way through it, so I don't bother anymore. Oh I will look back and laugh I am sure..... but at the moment Now, stop being so envious of my living arrangments. I can feel the jealousy seeping through the screen... I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

I watched that Ice Road Truckers ....once it was so stimulating. Truck goes across the ice truck comes back across the ice Does bro have his own tv room in the new abode. Re: Why cant i have that....... 66Nov 12, 2009 8:08 am No SuH, he cannot have his own TV area.... there will be three TV areas though. He cannot be anywhere where he can close the doors, because then he smokes. He doesn't seem to understand or care that there is NO SMOKING inside. Someone has to be home at all times. He hits the dogs (I just can't prove it, but I know ), and if left alone, we come home to an empty fridge..... no matter how much was in it. Oh.... he is such a pleasure to have around. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

Priceless. Still laughing at your last comment SuH Hi All, I just wanted to close this topic out with an update.
