Sorry the carpet/shoes obsession keeps me laughing.

Is that because carpet is so rare in Russia ATW?

I don't understand why people should be stigmatised for having a developed sense of hygiene. And now please excuse me, I ahve to go and wash my hands....

I hope you sanitise your keyboard before typing.

I wear surgical gloves, and the keyboard is wrapped in clingfilm

Right there you go begging :-)

and you don't have to pay tax.

I always get the carpets cleaned after tenants move out anyway.

Will you make the tenants take their shoes off at the door?

Why would I want to?
It might be my house, but it is their home.

Music....

We recently did a gig in a tiny (very crowded) cafe, and earnt 270 Euros, for two of us, that's about £40 an hour, now if we can earn that in a tiny cafe, what could we do in a big hall. We calculated thousands of Euo's.

I mean we're not talking fame here, just small venues.

I believe the beggars in London earn more than that, and they don't have to play any music.

It's not just about the cost. What kind of example you will be setting for them? You shouldn't be surprised if they will just try to squander all your money after and then go on the dole when it's run out.

You are going to breed wage slaves.

Kids COMPLETELY and utterly destroy any financial plans you put in place before their arrival. It's not even the minor costs of baby clothes, nappies, pushchairs, food etc... it's the major costs when they get a bit older, such as schooling, designer clothes, cars etc. And then you're forced to think about their inheritance!

Having said that, they make life worth living.
