STAMP YOUR MARK

I moved Helen's son out today after we had been for breakfast , we also bought him a brand new microwave and a brand new deep fat fryer and a swing bin for his kitchen .we have also given him our sandwich toaster and our George Foreman grill .

It is a bit like the wild life rescue programme where they have reared a orphaned young animal and are letting it venture back in to the wild , you know you can only do so much then it is down to survival instinct and hopefully the will to survive kicks in , well it is down to him now.

We have also given to him two settees , two decent tv's one is a Samsung 38 inch which was donated by his younger half brother Liam , along with two cast iron beds with mattresses , two tv stands soft furnishings like towels bedding quilts duvets and rugs , plus three lamps with shades and a bedside cabinet , plates and cooking utensils even a hand blender a cheese grater a tin opener and potato peeler .

When i got my first place i bought six set of drawers to go down one side of my bedroom wall under the eaves and  i had a mattress on the floor , no i am not Japanese ,  and my stereo system including a  tape deck amp and tuner along with four speakers which resided on top of the drawers  , a red neon alarm clock and a few plants and posters.

 The  the living room i had a leather settee two custom made wrought iron and mesh  trolleys that where powdered coated black which i used for my tv and video player and ghetto blaster there was no such things as dvd or blue ray player and a laminated pine wall unit that filled most of the back wall and that was it ,on the stairs i had  cork tiles glued on to the treads because i could not afford a stair carpet and rods .

 In the kitchen i did have a brand new electrical cooker and a fridge with a decent ice box compartment .I had beaded curtains up in door ways and wicker roller blinds on the windows as soon as you personalise something it becomes you and you take more of a interest plus you look at different art and different sculptures lamps mirrors anything to make it individual and not main stream something to catch someones eye you try and stamp your mark .

 Plus i had a pure black tom cat called Buster mainly for company he ate all the spiders , and use to sit on top of open doors and jump on you when you passed , scary stuff specially late at night when it was dark. .
Outside i had parked  a one year old Ford Escort with a very decent cassette deck , extra shelf and door speakers and graphic equalizer , but  most of all i had a job and i earned decent money a few months later i had a girl move in me who also earned good money , it is always easier with two specially  if you are both pulling in the same direction.

In the next few weeks we will be out shopping buying new stuff we need for our place this will be different to what we have now we will buy less but buy quality goods that will hopefully last and age with out dropping to bits thing is i cant wait bring it on i am excited and ecstatic i want to change and life differently new beginning's i did not get that impression from her son today he is going to be boring and cant be arsed attitude well if you cant doggy paddle your going to slowly sink or if you really cant be like throwing a  stone in a lake you will sink fast.
