The Move Home- How has it been for you?

    On this island(otherwise known as cesspit of doom and gloom) many of us have had to leave behind our independent lives in numerous metropoli of this little state and return to our homesteads due to lack of employment in the former.
    The question i pose is this, how you keep yourself occupied as you watch the grass grow? I'm all in favour of some sort of organisation, it could go under the name of 'The crowd at home' or summit, an organisation that suggests activities for us to involve ourselves in that will kick start this nation back into action, maybe jam making or basket weaving?

    you might also like to add in holding ball of wool for your mother while she knits you a christmas jumper? :D

    seriously though i live in fear that this will happen to me, it's good to have the rents to fall back on and they're good that way but i'd hate to have to move back into dependence on them, must be difficult for anyone who has had to so far :(

    Bide your time, save your money. Be smart, don't expect things to happen for you if you don't put in the effort. If you put in everything you've got relentlessly, things will happen for you. Losing is for those who stop trying.

    In other news, I have my own home and money and not working because I can. I've religiously saved for years and I'm in f/t college now. Its not a look a "whats I got statement", its a "you can have what you want if you want it bad enough" statement.

    Perhaps you should ask, 'how has it been for them?'
