i’ll tell u summet sian…..i look back an life was fookin hard then but we were happy wiv what we had. nowadays its all take take take.
I try to keep an element of it at home, I make them work for the rewards as I have said before dad is back seeing the kids, jeeze I am not liking the spoiling side of it to say the very very least! :twisted:
Both go golf, new golf bags and all the kit, new laptops coming for birthdays and now it’s kiteboarding and let me tell you i don’t even want to mention the bloody quad bikes!!
My eldest has sky in his bedroom, but he now pays £3.00 per month (half and half with Dad) for Chelsea TV, and he is happy with that.
I was 14 before I had the teeniest portable tv in my room, it has really changed, but then again electrical gadgets have come right down in price. Even with the current credit crunch those types of items are not affected, so you can still get bargains.
