Except this one is 52 years old.

Noel and Margaret Foreman thought their oldest son was helping them invest £120,000 for their retirement. But instead of using the money to help his parents, 52-year-old Neil spent all the money on cars, luxury holidays, golf lessons, fine wines and expensive meals. Neil felt that his siblings got more than he did as a child and this was his chance to live the life of luxury he always wanted.




I'm not 'back' yet. Ie, I haven't properly read anything in my absence ( did you notice me not being around ? ) and i'm at work, so can't really read much and i'm still 'busy' at home i've still got some 'catching up' to do.

Around June time we had a conversation that went something like this :-


Me : How are you getting on with the pet and mount collection?
You : I have 16 bazillion pets and 42 thousand mounts, I only ever use 3 of them but I still want to collect more. There's a new one out that I want and to get it you have to 'recruit a friend'.
Me : I'll be a martyr then sign me up.

I've met some really great people on (both sides) at the moment, i'm happy and not feeling the 'EQ' burn out as I've recently had a long hiatus from it.

No doubt when I feel i'm getting like that again, i'll reappear here, you've been warned Smile

Like I've said before, as long as you take it steady and don't *only* play, you'll be fine and wont get burnt out. You spend plenty time away, doing other things.
