not really spoilt at all - anti spoilt in fact
When i were a nipper, my rents didnt have a great deal of money and in order to fund a house that could accomodate the family, my gran came in with some dosh so they could afford a home of sufficient size.

i dont have any brothers or sisters so it was good having my rents rents there to bring me up - something i think has been lost in current society.

eventually, due to the market turmoil in the early mid eighties, my other grandparents moved in and all was cosy in our little gaff. i didnt have much, but it really made me appreciate my family and the little we could afford. we always assumed things would get better and despite the scrimping, i was pretty happy without the latest transformers and rubix magic.

i really didnt expect much on my birthdays as a result - christmas and birthday gifts usually resulted in choc or fruit. not being sullied by the rash hand of consumerism, this didnt bother me in the slightest.

all this changed when i saw the hint of gold underneath that candy wrapper. i now weight 20 stone and despite willie's elaborate test, im just as fucked as the rest of you.

After reading all your grandparents moved in, I was going to ask if they all shared the same bed.

I really ought to read the full post before deciding on a witty response.
