That's sort of what i do as feck working my life away as it goes to quick to spend it earning just money,i go without some of the grander things in life but the time spent doing what i want to do without worry is fecking priceless.I earn until i have enough to see me through a few months then take time off and live my life,the family don't go without and the kids have all they want and when i'm bored of them all i go back to work.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ginger beard 4,652 Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I want to cod fishing in the fjords apart from that a few pints on a friday and go walking/skiing/camping or shagging. I'll probably get thrown out after some anders brevik jokes. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
