My wife ,when working in schools, used to go (voluntarily) to pick up a 5/6 year old boy ,give him a clean set of clothes that she had washed ,bring him in to school and give him breakfast. His mother who had about 9 kids couldn’t give a toss ,was now into her new baby. Guess who’s paying for that. Luxury :D ....... My wife can recall when she had to live off one tin of beans for the week :$ ....... Whilst we lived on a motor yacht 8-) ......... We woz proper Poor back then :D .......... You never had donuts then ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which reminds me of when standing next to an enormous pine tree in one of my previous houses garden , a squirrel,suddenly landed with a thump right next to me on the lawn. It slowly turned its head towards me and very very slowly crept across the lawn. I can imagine how that feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
