Yes, you may be right Still, was fun while it lasted

@PM: Wow... Hope not

Hard to say really, just think avoid the word clan. If you havent thought of anything by time im back from work in 5 hours i will have a think.

The word Clan might be putting people off. As they dont want to get yelled at if they arent as good as other people etc. When people say Clan others think competition and serious gaming etc.

As you well know i can never know for sure when im going to be playing online personally so couldnt commit myself to any set times or days. However your more than welcome to get this going between the community. ^_^

Might be an idea for some people. Just have to make sure everyone can be incorporated and no-one left out as some games only allow say 7 players etc. Never been big on clans myself but wouldnt mind playing with some members from time to time.

Only coz they run too fast :lol:

We've only managed it because sadly Steve has lost both his parents in the last 3 years and they left him almost everything they had which he in turn has invested very wisely indeed and won't touch it unless he needs to - which is the sensible thing to do. Plus we live further north than the rest of my family so things are generally cheaper here - what we payed for our 3 bedroom house wouldn't get a one bedroom flat down south, so if we lived anywhere else we'd be as poor as churchmice :lol: Had a choice when I was getting married - dream wedding plus honeymoon or somewhere to live without the stress of a mortgage. I like to think I made the right choice there

We simply don't spend money like it's going out of fashion - if people need it, we lend it. If we need it, we spend it. Otherwise it stays where it is unless needed - neither of us like expensive holidays or getting the latest whatever every five minutes so we just be careful. I've never had any money and I've been ridiculously poor before now so it's neither here nor there to me as I've managed on far less, but that doesn't mean we should be silly with it. It's just nice to be able to pay for replacements to things that break down, for example, without having to save for months and months.

Unfortunately, people hate it when you're doing ok for yourself with relatively little effort - but hell, we'd rather have Steve's mum and dad back than an inheritance any day. What he makes doing websitey stuff more than covers our basic needs, so the inheritance is treated as life-savings and barely even looked at except when it's time to pay our tax bill each year - but it grates on me that people assume we've never worked in our lives or that we probably have gold-plated toilet paper. We both have jobs and gold-plated toilet paper ain't half hard to flush so we switched to Andrex

lol - you'd be more than welcome :lol:

Yeah, I've got one sister and 7 cousins and they've all "done better" than me - except I'm the one with no mortgage, no debt, a substantial disposable income and a family. Neither Steve nor I need to have a job (although we both do) yet it's never good enough for my family. All they can see are all the things I've done wrong in their eyes and it gets more than a little tiresome after a while. I'm doing what makes me happy - if I want to work, I do. If I don't, then I don't. I can literally spend each day doing what I like, as can Steve, and it gives us the kind of flexibility that any family with kids would envy. I think that's ultimately what every working family strives for, really - the ability to down tools when you want and spend time with the people who matter most. Just so happens we get to do that in our 20's rather than our 70's.

Bugs the hell out of my sister no end - we get on very well but when she has her tantrums from time to time, up comes the whole "at least I work for my money" thing - I just say "yes, as do we. Difference is, we make our money work for us. It's called saving. Try it some time." Never goes down well :lol:

Ooh, just like the times when I used to get dragged to seeing family when I was younger to be told I was a this and that, not as good as cousin Up-His-Arse and how my father should have married someone else of a better "calibre" for producing offspring...

Or even better, Christmasses with my dad and sister after my parents split where it was all "you do know you're not my favourite daughter, don't you?" and "compared to your sister, you're such a disappointment" closely followed by "You've ruined your life, do you know that?"

Happy times :lol: Tell you what, you should have Christmas at ours next year - quiet, peaceful and you can do what the hell you like all day long

Well, she's had a couple of presents which shut her up so for now she's being relatively well behaved...:lol:

Christmas was quiet, uneventful and pleasant, thank you. Just the three of us and that dratted dog of Steve's, with no unwanted family to get in the way :lol:

Even though you're not a big fan of the season, how was your Christmas?

I have nothing nice to say to that Sir, so I guess I'll keep it zipped :lol: But... At least you're happy now

Tis the season to be unhappy?

Merry Christmas ^^

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Everthing - just being in the same house as her right now is doing my head in :lol: Nah, she's just in an uber-destructive mood these days and keeps breaking stuff "because she feels like it". I could happily strangle her sometimes

I think when it's Christmas, no one gets anything done - I've been trying to fill my monthly quota for work this whole flippin' season and nothing's happened - it's so frustrating I could have a temper tantrum - but I won't. And even if I did, the internet is a crap medium :lol:
