Hayley - Wow your story is very inspiring, you two have done so well to be where you are now. In a way I know where you are coming from, my dad was homeless from the age of 13 - 17 yrs, he had a pretty radical childhood too, he doesnt talk much about his parents but from what he has said they were just horrible. Anyway to cut a long story short, he says being homeless made him who he is today and it makes you realise the important things in life. And you are so right, material things dont even matter, they make you no happier. All these 'rich' people with their flasho cars, probably just have a mountain of debt hehe!
Noni - Dont get yourself down about it, you will get there eventually. You are still young, you have plenty of time. And you will appreciate it more as you have had to work extra hard for it. We had a helping hand into real estate, our little unit we bought off my parents for $20,000 cheaper than it was worth. Then we got our house that we are in now, we had no help with that, but we couldnt have done it unless we had had that help from the start from my parents. Dont get me wrong DP and I worked our butts off to pay our mortgage (DP still does), parents never helped with that, nor would I expect them to, we have definately put in the hard yards ourselves. Sometimes you have to struggle to get where you are.
Renee - Haha growing drugs! Sounds like the neighbours are just jealous. Havent found anyone yet that Maddie takes a dislike too.
Anyway I have to keep this short, sorry to everyone that I missed out personals on, in laws are coming to stay tonight and house is a mess!!!
