When we first had a mortgage on a tiny flat we could barely afford to eat at times, very often my other half would smuggle buffet food out of promo events he was attending with his first job....they would be our dinner for three or four days after at times.
Tinned tomatoes and beans on toast was our staple diet for months on end for some time.
But looking back we have never been so happy as then.... |

money is not the answer for people like us.when you go food shopping do not wear any under wear.
think up role play fun. sex in the shed or the car being happy is all in the mind .we have had times when we have had £900 a week coming into the house hold but also £200 .when we sit down and chat the best times are when we had less |

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt...........  |
