Secondary Finances :'(

I have 20 mins, permitted by my new master. I thought I'd log in and see all the new life and zest here... humf.... 😏😏

Well a little news. There's a secondary cost to new additions which would normally go unseen.. but have hit me in the face...

New car..... well a baby seat won't fit in the back of a 2 seater sports car....... master forced a saloon as an addition to the driveway! 🙁

New washing machine to wash away the dumps. I always had my clothes dry-cleaned or washed by the local river squad. Orders from her indoors (yes Nords, 'er indoors! 🙂) warranted an Electrolux for in-house cleaning.

New cooker - no more meals out. Baba likes to scream as soon as a fork approaches lips. No more restaurants or a la carte.... mind Thai aint bad at home.. however......cooker is more expense - plus the electricians etc.... plus extra circuit breaker for wash machine+cooker.

Extension - to house - for live in Thai scrubber/cleaner to use the appliances and clear the dumps.... well I can't get my chop-sticks dirty can I? 😛😛😛

Ruddy secondary expenses I tell yer... never anticipated (admittedly anyway - just a good chance for a moan - to go and play golf when I'm tired of no sleep..... cos my god lads - it's hot here now! 😛😏😏

Back when I can - master lom beckons! 🙂🙂

You have had no stove or oven or fireplace or cooking appliance in your house?

Nope. No ovens out here, except restaurants. Fireplace? Air-con in each room for cooling only. Cook? It's always cheaper to eat out - 3 course meal 60 baht - $1.80 US. 😉

Appreciate the update, Mike. Glad mother and child are doing well. Maybe your golf game will improve... 🙂

Thanks.

I can't even imagine it being cheaper to eat out than cook at home, that must be nice... of course i rather like to cook, so it's not all bad.

For someone who is apparently a manager/businessman your foresight of obvious future developments seems seriously lacking.

For someone who is a moderator your belief in everything you read leaves a great deal to be desired! 😉

Huh?


Anyway, were you just left some money by a rich relative, or what? Because your posts on here have created some doubts with me about your managerial skills needed to make a success in business.

Maybe you're a manager in the sense of: "Wow! He has managed to NOT spend his whole inheritance on hookers and booze!"

Not really, but you need to keep a percentage for fried chicken dinners.
