(not) showing off

[kirkgas]

i hope people dont mind me posting this as it is a bit of good news for a change (well for our family anyway) , it isnt gas related, but my son who is 29 runs a very successful web design company with his mate, and they are doing extremely well and making a fortune, (if it was me i wouldnt post as that would be showing off, but i'm proud of what he has achieved through major hard work) he lives abroad and has booked a 3 month working holiday in the Algarve for him and his girlfriend, he intends to but a villa and move there, and has just ordered himself an Audi R8, so i'm chuffed to bits, daughter who is 27 has just got engaged, so all is as rosy in the garden as it can be, maybe if i beg he will buy his old man a jaguar for my 50th in Novemeber haha

Good news Kirk, he may build an annex on the villa so you can retire in the sun

jeezo now there is a lovely thought, we love the algarve, really quiet and really clean, we have already said we will be over as soon as they are settled, some of the troops on here might fancy quoting for the work, like the boys from Auf Wiedersehen Pet

Being proud isn't showing off, sounds like he really has made it for himself so well done

Audi R8 I would chop my right foot off for that proper 911 beater

I am not really that mad on cars cause I ride bikes but to get close to 200mph in a car is impressive stuff

 

[REDSAW]

make sure he builds the 'granny annex' on the side of the villa for your retirement.
and tell him the bill for your up-bringing is on hold untill you test your room out.lol.

thats not showing of mate nothing wrong with being proud of his achievements .its the hardest thing we do bringing up children best thing is youve obviously given him a good role model which he can repeat on his children
