Who Would You Swap Your Life With For A Month?

I don't bother with celebrities really. I'd quite like to swop with someone who never has to worry about money though, just to see if life is better.

No, I can't say I've ever wondered about that.

But I do admit to being a tad curious why you use a capital letter at the beginning of each word in your thread titles.

that is what I was taught was the proper way to capitalise a title.. every word but not conjunctives... it is the one thing blue does correctly!

Well, Bluelass doesn't really do it correctly.

Bluelass capitalises every word in her titles.

Your link says this is right:

The Last of the Mohicans

Bluelass would have written 'The Last Of The Mohicans'.

THE MAIN WORDS ONLY

In title case, do not use capital letters for:

• Articles (i.e., a, an, and the)
• Prepositions (e.g., at, under, near, upon, by, of)
  (NB: This includes to as part of an infinitive verb, e.g., to run.)
• Conjunctions (e.g., and, or, but)

The first word of the title is written with a capital letter regardless. For example:

• The Last of the Mohicans
• Have you seen "About a Boy"?

More correctly than the majority of other posters then .. haha ..

The_Last_Username

Back on-topic ............. and (sorry) not a celebrity.
Not even human, in fact.
Our dog!

Yes, really; fed regularly but no cooking or washing-up.
Treats in between meals. (Healthy options, naturally.)
Warmest bed in the house (quite possibly the most comfortable, too).
Regular exercise - often upon request.
The only "work" is barking when the postie delivers the mail.


Hhmm .......... why stop at a month?
:rotfl:

I would never want to swap with ANY celebrity. I would not want the constant intrusion into my privacy.


It's like the quote at the end of the film Amy, when she says she'd gladly give her talent back if it meant being able to walk down the street again.

eeewwww no... I could never be a dog..

You cant get food if you're hungry or a drink if you're thirsty.. you have to do your business on demand.. and lick your anus and genitals ... no.. thank you very much!!

If the dog has a comfier bed then you need a new one!

Some 'celebrities' court the media (for obvious reasons) but some prefer to keep their lives private.

I would swap with my sister in law (as long as I get to keep my own husband and kids!).

That way I get to take my kids to and from school every day and have the rest of the week to myself running my house and looking after my family at my own pace and not worrying about paid work. Not having to deal with delivering projects and improvements to impossible deadlines, team restructures, corporate rubbish and people management issues.

And I can tell my 'swapped self' how I can't possibly find a job that fits around the kids and the housework and how 'lucky' she is to earn what she does, whilst completely disregarding all the hard work it entails!

Yes, I am a little envious of her lifestyle, particularly when I have a weekend of work to contend with:o . But we make our own beds, don't we! And when you are used to a certain household income it is difficult to make the adjustment down and even more difficult to convince the other half to!:D

If work's making you that bloomin miserable it might be worth trying to live on one wage for a month or two just to see if it's feasible.

OK you won't get to go on holiday to far exotic places , nor pay for half a dozen after school clubs. You might need to shop on EBay for clothes and learn how to live thriftily. You'd need to simplify your lifestyle.

BUT.. you'd get to bring up your child (as opposed to paying someone else to do it) and your quality of life would improve.

It's like you say, you make your own choices.
