    Well I am hoping to get them for normal price of £32 each but we will have to factor in the cost of a hotel in Manchester.

    I paid over the odds on 2 occasions now to get close to the stage tickets, I just hope that I get a ticket before all the touts snap them up.

    1st time I saw him at the Sage in Gateshead I paid £170

    That isnt a quiff Zed

    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    But it's not you being unfair to her - it's them. It's not you being unfair to you - it's them.

    And let's face it, being cruel to be kind might be the best thing to do. It's easy to motivate someone to learn to swim when their lungs are full of water.

    But my dad doesn't care. He's dropped my mum in the proverbial stuff before, we nearly lost the house then due to his selfishness and he did nothing about it but wallow in self pity. She tried to go out and work but with me and my brother both under 8, she couldn't without him looking after us and he wouldn't :mad:
    So if his lungs are full, we'll be out on our bums pretty quickly.

    Gemmzie, I hope this doesn't seem harsh as it's not meant that way but what's going to happen if you move away or meet someone and have your own family to look after (a bit down the road yet I know) are you still going to manage his finances then? he's going to have to grow up some day.

    Yes he should but I can't think of a way to make him without hurting my mum and me in the process. Then I feel like it's all my fault.

    It's not harsh, you're right. I just wanted to start getting them out of the hole so they could manage it themselves in the future.
    I think it's the low likely-hood of that future that makes me worry more, I have no idea how long I'll be stuck at home for and that really is the way I feel about it now. Stuck here.
