I wish I still had mine!
I hate you.
I've just had the stepdaughter on the phone crying into her wine glass, totaly drunk, bemoaning the loss of her comfortable life. Telling me how she can't afford the mortgage or posh 4x4 car repayments, or afford a holiday abroad this year, and Turkey prices are out of reach. She didn't take well to my suggestion to sell the car, cancel the holiday and have something other than a Turkey for Xmas lunch.... and stop buying wine!!!
She's been so smug about how well she's been doing, how she'd improved herself compared to how I live, and I was a lazy *** for not working harder and improving my life, she has never had to do any hard physical work like I've done. For her, it's been a cushy well paid job and never a struggle.
Hitting home hard now for her.
I still have the tin bath, a woodburner and a plastic clothes horse... so I know I could manage comfortably.... she'd be horrified!
Sometimes, the old ways of being content with less, pay off.
Dry logs, a fire, water, a tin bath...what more do I need?...a wooden clothes horse and a mangel.
Sorry for the thread hijack there, just a bit upset and had to vent somewhere. Forgot where I was for a moment.
