Thanks Lucy, its food for thought as they say. I know my kids dont know any different at the moment and will love whatever surroundings we put them in, it plays on my mind that we dont have a proper house to give them with proper bedrooms. The shed is certainly not glamarous, even though we have carpet on the section that we live in it still is quiet dirty because of the dirt driveway. And the roof isnt insulated so its damn noisy when it rains or if its windy.
We still have all the mod cons though like Foxtel and Internet, hot water etc etc. They do have full tummys and a warm bed to get into every night but there parents are at a loss as to whats good for them.
I was so stressed and i had to get out of here when it was on the market, but now that we are giving it a break Dd and I have been out makeing gardens and putting vegie seeds in. When we do that together i think how lucky we are to have what we have, i know DD loves it here. She will one day get that pony when she can look after it herself and im sure DS will appreciate having his own bike track down the back.
