This reminds me, have you seen 'On the road' - a very upsetting movie about an apocalyptic even where people have run out of everything (no food, no vegitation no nothing). At the end the boy whose dad died knew he can trust a family because they had their dog with them - they had not eaten it! Firewalker

Do you mean http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0898367/
as this http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0337692/ will be out next year and it's a whole different kettle of fish!

And I'm sure my Mum felt exactly the same about me, I know I got on her last nerve on a weekly basis:rotfl:

MG, you'll have to find a 15 year old for advice on the bum cleavage thingy. (Wanders off muttering about the unflattering nature of teenager trousers and why on EARTH would they want to walk around looking like they have filled a nappy...)

Firewalker

Yep, sorry the movie is called The road (the book is better).

My dear Happy, the advice on this boards can be extreme sometimes - but then many people are rather extreme and believe seriously that this is the way to go forward. I never posted a SOA for the following reasons:

1) I find that it is not very useful as a tool (too static) and not specific enough to help me make decisions.
2) It asks to say how many adults there are in the household - who is to say who is an adult and who is not. I am a grown up but an adult? Oh my!
3) I refuse to have people tell me to give up my expensive haircut - the balancing act of budgetting is my own decision. My haircut is what gets me earning - I cannot present to Prime Ministers (no kidding, have done that but it was a smaller coutry PM) having cut my hair myself. Apart from everything I will feel like !!!!!

What I am saying is - don't upset yourself. Any decision about money is not about money at all: it is about your life. And it is your life - just need to create the different kind of balances that bring about financial and life health.

If you want some support doing this one go on the other side and post for help - I doubt anyone will advise you to give away your pets.

Hello This talk of pets ties in with something I have done today. I took some cat food to our local cats home. I was there last week and the fellow who runs it was telling me that they have 45 cats and kittens in there and more are being left with them each day. I met a couple of the "inmates" including a gorgeous black boy called Phantom. I wanted to take him home there and then, but hardly have space for my current 3. Anyway... when I went shopping this week, I got an extra box of cat food and more cat meat pouches and left it at the shelter. They need all the help I can get.

.

Well said about the SOA - I havent posted mine just because its mine and mine alone and nobody would have a real handle on my personal circumstances - hair cuts and the like!

I am a huge animal lover - wouldnt have a house with out them and our moggies (1 from a rescue centre and another from a friend who stupidly,IMO, let her 2 females have kittens then was stuck in finding 10 homes :eek:) are well looked after, but I am not sentimental and if it came to the difference of say losing our house and keeping the cats................. and I would only have them re homed. No self respecting vet would euthanise a healthy animal. My children would love more animals - but we have told them we cannot afford to take them on.

At our harvest service at school this year we asked the children to bring food and pet toys for a local rescue centre - rather than dubious tins and weevil infested pasta that we would have to sort and bin most of after :eek: we had visit from a very well behaved boxer X staffi and its resuce centre owner and the response was over whelming - lots and lots of tins, chews, toys, rabbit food etc etc - and none of it rancid - not sure what that says actually.

There was a method in our madness: too many of our families would be considered to be in poverty and high levels of debt they cant manage yet a great deal have pets;lots of pets; lots of exotic expensive to keep pets; lots of status animals; lots of children being "brought up" by the state - the message was about responsibilty and the true cost of caring for pets - emtionally and financially - we had one family 'give up' 4 of their 5 dogs and 3 more booked their cats in to be neutered. IMHO - a result.

Apologies - its a bit of a soap box topic of mine - I dont want to offend anyone:o

Well my house is still a pigsty, no one seems to want to do any cleaning, and I'm !!!!!!ed if I'm going to do it again, although I have cooked a roast pork dinner and loaded, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher and sorted 2 loads of washing.
