If Ben & Jerry end up getting into college Iā€™d be amazed. And thatā€™s no disrespect to them both but theyā€™re just not into school. A trade hopefully :crossed_fingers:

We had the Grandad bullock sale fund going in the post office in her name but then he got out of the bullocks. Need to start wiring the child benefit to it. Good idea. Had worked out by time she finishes college, we will also be mortgage free as the Mrs is so old :joy:

Eldest contributed to the masters alright

Youngests boyfriend is working his way through an electricians apprenticeship, from what I am hearing heā€™ll be on some coin by the time he qualifies next year.

Fair play @Locke . The insistence of some parents to push kids that are patently unsuited to it into third level is ridiculous. I know very few poor tradesmen and the poor ones i do know are lazy cunts.

But what about Fitzgibbon hurling?

They can help @Locke build an extension to the house as well. A win-win.

Shitgibbon. Winter hurling.

Looks like Iā€™ll have to murder my mother to get the house to sell just to put the kids through college.

The crypto millions will surely have come in by then

I know Ben is talking about it alright, and is taking Engineering and Woodwork in school. So hopefully he has a flare for it. He did Home Economics for the Junior cycle and loved it.

I canā€™t take too much credit here, the youngest two will be going to college, and in Cork! The 4 year old and I had a bit of time together there last weekend - had to charge the car so we went into the Bons and hooked up the car. We had her balance bike with us so we went down to UCC. I was in her ear saying to her this is where youā€™ll go to college and this is where Mummy and Auntie Angela (Downey) went and isnā€™t it great etc etc. Had all those hopes and dreams for Ben & Jerry but know now itā€™s not for them.

Young ladā€™s first birthday party done today.

In the house. Good day.

Given the weather I got a few beers and cider in but there wasnā€™t much interest.

Entered my head to have one now but fuck it, up sobriety.
