Goosey
.
dad used to wake me up half an hour before I went to bed so I could go to work ...
we just ate lots of pasta ... and nutella from a jar
You were lucky.
We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank.
We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for six cents a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt.
