Joan you are spot on |I always used to say to my kids it is not how clever you are (my son is Clever, Cambridge degree etc) but how you treat people that matters, always respect others and try to behave decently towards EVERYONE!!
Not sure that worked with my daughter!
i totally agree about cleanliness, I am stickler for that, but bit dust or untidyness well that is different.
I am guilty of probably judging people but I do try not to so much now, do you think we become more tolerant as we get older?
I went to girls high school and was probably one of the poorest in the class, it did not really bother me but I suppose I was hate to say it a little embarassed by our cottage, we had just one cold tap in bathroom!
a tiny immersion heater and old fashioned boiler Mum used to heat water in.
It was far cry from my best friends house - but we stayed firm friends until she left and went to uni not an option for me - I could not even stay on after 16 - not being self pitying just a fact.
sometimes the most wealthy people are the nicest!
do think the noveau rich as they called are probably the worst!
