Trust&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am
writing this at the request of my neighbour. The title is her request but I am
not sure why. She told me all would soon become clear and I have been given an
e-mail address to send the piece to. I have to admit; curiosity has gotten the
better of me so here goes. What happens is my account of a situation I recently
found myself in. I suppose the best place to start is some background. I’m
49YO but I keep fit by competing in Masters Athletics as a runner. I have been
happily married for 26 odd years, have 4 children ranging in ages from the
oldest, a girl, 18, next, another girl, 16, yet another girl, 12 and my son, age
8. I’ve managed to have a pretty good life in spite of being financially
challenged for most of it. I work 2 jobs, full time professional driver all week
and do retail sales on most weekends. I know, it’s not an ideal existence but
we are doing it for the children. Not being in a situation where buying our own
home is possible, we are forced to rent. That means, we often have to move. Our
last move saw us living as neighbours to a lovely young lady called Melinda.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
