Freaky because you have a sensible son? (:shocked: :eek:)
I know someone who works in a bank and occasionally has to deal with people who are in financial trouble. The amount of people who put down "Sky" as a necessity never ceases to amaze her. And not just any Sky - the full whack...
Hope your son stays like this throughout his teenage years. Well done him. :T"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

He wants to sponsor a child and gave my dad's pal a lecture on how much money sky cost (dad's pal is about 75). quite sweet really but he thinks that if everyone sponsored a kid instead of paying for tv the world would be a better place - maybe it's simplifying things but at least he has a heart. Then again he would probably spend any left over money on Percy Pigs...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I think they wear out really easily Beanie, especially when they are full of heavy stuff and they throw them around. My DS is counting down the days now till Friday lunchtime!Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
