Into the fridge, she put a packet of cheese and one of ham, a bag of tomatoes, half a lettuce, three avocados, half a bunch of celery and a small bag ...f carrots. She added the two litres of milk, a six pack of Rum and Cola UDL cans and a six pack of water bottles.She put the whole, cooked chook and the three containers of mixed salads on the table with the flat buns and butter.

I was smothered in my parent’s money and negligence. They’re weren’t so much my parents as they were wardens of my house. Oh, don’t get me started on my house. It was their throne of glory. Glory of how much money they had. It was a dream house, the kind people walk through and dreamed about. Three stories, clean carpets, newly painted walls, a confusing lay out that would get Christopher Colombus lost, stairs every where,. It wouldn't take more than fifteen minutes to reach the house."I'm looking forward to driving," Lucy said. It wasn't that she minded Ken picking her up or taking her home, it was the shopping that was uncomfortable. She didn't like trying to buy a present for William with Ken waiting around watching what she purchased. It wasn't true, but she felt that it undermined the surprise. When she bought a new dress, she wanted William to be the first to see her in it, not Ken."Same here," said William. It was a period in her life when times had been very tough. She told me that she could remember standing in line for hours just to get some of the basic items they would need to survive.I tried to imagine what it would be like to be unsure of where your next meal was coming from.

The lake we visited had always supplied.
