Spud, there wasn;t much money flowing around when I grew up, no foreign holidays and often 1 or 2 new outfits a year and the rest were hand-me-downs etc. Money was prioritised to mortgage, utilities, bills, food and anything left over was saved up for the next round of needs!
My memories of childhood are good ones. We had everything we needed and often we'd get a couple of the things we wanted as well. Family picnics in the local parks, day trips to the seaside (usually by bus that we'd have to catch at 6 or 7am) etc. Course there were things that I hated but 20-30 years on and I can honestly say I had the best childhood. The only thing I hated was having to wait until my younger sister was old enough before having my ears pierced! I don't feel like I missed out on anything... well apart from Ballet but that's a whole other bitter twisted issue...DFW Nerd Club #545 Dealing With Our Debt

I have done in the past, Shell, but I'm satisfied that I'm offering the best I possibly can without popping it all back up on here again. Besides, it's all extremely complicated due to various things so it's far more drawn out than a normal I/O statement.shell_girl wrote: »Looks good to me cap'n

He wont go, says it's too much money and anyway he prefers me doing his hair :rolleyes:Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
