it's funny though, my early childhood was quite similar but then again I never remember them worrying about money either - think everyone else was in a similar boat. The thing that makes me realise how hard up they were though is that my dad grew his own veg for years and it's only in adulthood I've found out he HATES gardening! I thought he was doing it for fun...:oMortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
