Laptop 4 month old

this advice might not be much use mike but when times are really tough, they sometimes reveal something in you that you never knew you had....one day you will look back at these tough times and smile and think about the person it made you become!

keep fighting and keep going mate theres a door in that wall somewhere, and if you cant see it, just kick the bleedin wall down, works for me

ps, hope your little fella had a good birthday!!! he's got dad to be proud of and dont you ever forget that!!!!

I wish I could come up with words like that Ed.

I hope your lad had a great birthday Mike and I hope the future holds good things for you.

Pleased you managed to give your lad a good birthday

The kite idea is a good idea,things like that do mean a lot more,my lad still remembers card board castles and wooden carts we built together when he was younger,often it is us,the parents who put the pressure on ourselves to get things for the kids and not them,I realise now the most important gift you can give your kids is...time...and I failed there,spending to much time at work trying to provide long term ,useless material things

Anyway,hopefully that wall is about to come down,think most have been there,I have,
Good Luck!!


Now get out there and kick some butt !!!!

Dont be too hard on yourself, when the work is there you have to do it, its a catch 22 situation. I have spent years working away from home but needs must.

kids mean more than anything else mike, they dont remember fancy pressies they remember the fun they had with their dad

one year when the kids were small and I was struggling to pay the mortgage I made my son a farm out of scrap ply I picked up from work and later in the year my daughter got a cooker made from scrap ply

I couldnt afford macdonalds so I bought mince and made burgers for them

thats the birthday they both talk about and the farm and oven have been passed on to other kids, they have never mentioned any other birthday
