Camper Update

[tazinnz]

Hi Reid, thats the plan, I finished up at work 3 weeks ago and doing a few building jobs to raise cash for vehicle servicing and add ons and fuel and then we're on the road for 16 months going where ever the price of fuel allows (with the current price probably only get as far as Seymour) and its ta ta to the boys  mind you when we get back they'll still be expecting mummy to get their dinner

Lazy Buggers give them a gentle SHOVE out the door my dad did when i was 18 best thing he ever did it made me stand up

yep times have changed, I was homeless at age 14, wouldn't really say it was the best thing for me but hey I survived. Mind you its not unusual these days for late leechs ... um I mean late leavers, .. they've all been out on their own but keep coming back !!  you can still see the scratch marks on the front door jamb when they were last pushed out in the cold
