[If I do]

Yip, I will provide for them, help them with their studies, ensure as far as possible they want for nothing as they grow up.  In that way they should be fully capable of buying their first car and paying for their own wedding - I don't know one single person who didn't pay for their own wedding - but if you are that loaded fair play to you.

I didn't pay for my wedding, I was lucky enough in that her parents (very traditional and smart with the money they worked hard for) paid for it all, I'm probably a little older than you so it wasn't strange for the daughters parents to pay for weddings, different now but I'll be putting money aside for it just in case. As for being loaded nope certainly not. Two good enough wages but lie everyone else mortgages and credit cards bills leaves us with not much to save.

But you are missing my point, If I do have the money to do it then I will give them that helping hand. I've had to pay for everything I wanted in my working life (bar the wedding), my kids will tell you themselves they are bored of me telling them about hard work!!

Yeah read this yesterday, great place to be on Munster final day in Thurles, we managed a pint in it last year also so good to see it's not being lost

Yip made me work hard to get what I want.

Course, well done, the hardest worker on the board. But you are being silly to suggest giving your kids a helping hand is wrong

Not wrong MR2 but I remember lads at uni who didnt have a loan and instead got Mum/Dads handout every week which was double what the rest of us had. Needless to say they didnt use it wisely. All depends on the individual and how they manage their money though.

All depends how you bring them up surely? I never had a washer and going to college was never going to happen. Left school and worked (continuing to) hard all my days, so the value of hard work (while my friend students at the time did feck all ) isn't lost on me or my kids. But if (big fecking if) I have the chance to give them a helping hand then so be it.

Zip you said your kids will be buying their own car wedding and college fees, fair fcuks to you

[pay for college fees,]

I've different conditions to yourself as in my kids will soon be 14 and 11. They are only looking you to give them money and drive them places and then sit in the other room on the phone all day !!! ah the life of a teenager lol.

But I've always taken a chance with a job, I suppose I've been lucky in that my industry has been very busy and there is a lot of jobs in that sector, so if my new job goes tits up I'll be not too hard pushed in getting back to same job

Whatever you do look at it long term, will I be making more money down the line to pay for college fees, able to buy them their first car, their weddings and the ability for a nest egg for when you retire. The kids will still love you regardless you'll make even more time for them at the weekend

Anyway good luck, and not bad to be in a position that you have the choice of work

Sweet Jesus, are you for real, like myself my kids will be buying their own first car, paying for their own wedding and taking out the loans for the college fees!!!

Why wouldn't I? If I have it they'll get it. I've never had that luxury but would love to give them that. It may not be the case but I'm willing to put myself into a position that if they need that something extra then yeah.

And well done you on the car wedding and college fees. I'm sure its made you a wonderful person

Won a match against a 12/1 team, was never in doubt really lol

What price were MK Dons..?

Wins a win. Should never have been in a position to drop points after the first goal so late on. A lot of new faces in who haven't got going just yet and Coutinho struggling for form. You can't expect an exact replica of last season given the changes. Given time though I think they same style will develop over the coming months. Lovren a good buy. Mario had a lot still to do for the goal. Would like to see him contribute more.

5/1 But hey don't let me ruin the party. Solid performance from a title chasing team

Wondering if any Antrim clubs are going to sevens tournaments this weekend?

We are

I live a half a mile from the school...forgot to mention that.

Feck!!! What is the world coming tooo!!!!! Let them walk lazy feckers

Would you let  a 9 & 6 year old walk by themselves to school along a main busy road?

When I was that age I walked to school every morning (with my two younger sisters) down the Falls road during the troubles, why are we so hung up on this? Yes my girls get dropped off as the neighbour works in the school. But on Fridays (my day to get the youngest, whos' 10) she walks home. Mental how attitudes change. Did you walk to school?

Edit: Jammy fookers lol

What possibilities or opportunities can it open for you? Thinking long term is the key.

I'm just like yourself in that regard and have handed my notice in, I've been teaching 14 years in various training colleges and just in March moved to a very good nationwide training provider with plenty of scope, but a friend of mine in the medical sales area offered me a post and I've taken in, I've no sales background at all but he's every confidence. I've six months training in England so like you all that comfortable stuff of getting the kids to school, collecting them and general stuff will be gone.

I've taken a leap of faith and going for it, I'm looking at the possibilities that it can have and while it will be tough I'm up for a new challenge.

I think if its something that you have done (career wise) you should go for it and see where it goes. And get her to learn how to drive!!!

Good value so far for the 12/1

Seen a lad today at the car park at work, he parked too close to car beside opens door to get out and slams car beside him, I'm sitting in space beside him watching and he gets back in car and drives off, not before I take his number and give it to the receptionist in building I'm working in, total tosser. Prefer the screwdriver method though.

Also a PT at the gym I go to every time parks in the disabled section, its right at the doorway and this lad is serious fit, could train all day long but has the audacity to park in a disable spot, I'd report him but he's one of these cage fighters and knock my fecking pan in lol
