  1. She'd honestly do that?? Wow, a new low.
  2. Wishing you support, wise decisions by all and improvement in all areas Saraha.
  3. @Rosie_0801. I met you that one time in 2009, so you've been here for at least 15 years as well. You're the only boardie I've met in person. I don't know if there is anyone else from South Africa.
  4. I lurked on the WTM boards from 2004 and we started homeschooling in 2006. We would not have been able to do it without all the advise on the Curriculum boards, especially the K-8 ones. I just found myself on one of the old boards from Feb 2006. https://web.archive.org/web/20060207081131/http://wtmboards.com/K8currFeb01/ Were you there too?
  5. The same here. The revenue service gets information from employers, medical insurance, retirement annuity providers, banks, etc. The only thing to add would be deductions for work travel (used to be for us, but not anymore), rental income and such. Government only. I would totally pay a consultant if it gets complicated and did so one year. She was so worth it!
  6. I am sorry that you lost your brother. Condolences to you and your family.
  7. A coffee table book of the area.
  8. A small artwork of a local scene if you have a gallery nearby. Here that would be within the budget.
  9. Wishing you strength at this difficult time and a speedy recovery for your child.
  10. My daughter got a small jar of coffee with the words "it all began with a cup of coffee" and the couple's names and date of the wedding. This got me Googling, and these diy ones with a coffee scoop are cute. For the couples you could do some tea - and giggle the whole evening.
  11. Personalised leather key ring with the name of each guest stamped into it. These were used for place settings. You could also do them in wood.
  12. I would have been hurt too if someone started their call with a tirade against me. She must of been winding herself up about for quite some time. If she lives alone that could easily happen. I don't know your history, but it sounds like she wants some kind of validation that she is still important in your lives. Maybe she thinks a check-in and your full attention at a fixed time will giver her that? Or she heard that a friend does it that way? If you do call this Sunday and she's calmed herself now that she's delivered her message, would she be more open to listening to you and coming to a new arrangement? My sisters and I call regularly, but we are quite open about being busy with something else like doing the dishes or even taking a bath. We call it our live podcasts. It is a hassle to remember on a Sunday evening, but if she won't budge and you still want to honour her need for connection in this way, could phone while you're doing another task?
  13. This is our biggest cost too. I can't wait for them to successfully launch.
  14. We live in a mostly warm climate and we have never owned a dryer. Our laundry air-dries on clothes drying racks. In winter they do fill up the living room for a few days at a time. We could probably live without a dishwasher and the cost of running it, but its a luxury I appreciate having. The ice-machine is another! We fill it with purified water, so there is a cost beyond the power.
