I know it's all relative, and we had a nice house, new cars, good holidays, a swimming pool, and a boat, but we were honestly never spoilt. If we wanted something we had to work for it, and save enough money until we could afford it.

At primary school it was the children whose parents that probably struggled more finacially, who always had the latest, and most expensive must haves.

Presents break, or you get bored with them. The best thing you can give a child is love, and that costs nothing.
