    Mr M do it for free if you buy fuel

    Is that a false economy? Our local @sda is *always* the cheapest place for petrol in our part of Ggow.
  • House sounds great. The thought of moving and packing it all up should be enough to stop you buying junk.

    Food for thought ? Would the oldies like to live with you?

    They are keen. Recent events though cause us to seriously worry about their judgement and that their judgement might have a negative impact on the smalls.

    Just caught up. Totally love the image of pony plops licking car mirror as it passed. What a star !!
    Enjoy a holiday full of pony fun, wine brewing and restful days:)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • Oh dear. And that is not something that is likely to get better as they get older. Probably best to stop looking at farmhouses then. Hope pony behaves better today,

    It's hard when you're in the middle trying to look after the generation above as well as the generation below. But I agree with Squirrel that you can't let the oldies do things that are bad for the smalls. :(

    I had that conversation with my Mum at the weekend

    She is worrying if anything happens to my Dad then she coudn't live alone and would have to move in with me

    I dont think she appreciated the reply back from me "That she would have to learn to live alone"

    I suppose it because she has never lived alone at any time in her life
