Kel has bought a unit

The fruit of my loins has just bought herself a unit in Kensington.  Not the one in Adelaide but in Melbourne.  It is close to shops, the tram and to the Melbourne CBD.  It is upstairs and is quite large and has a brilliant view of Melbourne.   She managed to get it about $19K less than the vendor's price.  (She will be able to hear me snoring from her bedroom.  Now there is a positive!)  Once upon a time a woman could not buy a house.  Even if she was working it still hinged on her husband's wage.  The same was true of buying a car.  I remember one of my friends was asked when her husband was coming in even though she was buying a car for herself and working at the time.  At one time, women public servants also had to resign when they got married.  We were also paid less than the men for doing the same work.  I asked why and was told that the boys could shift furniture.  What a load of hogwash!    So even though I am always saying, "When I was a girl" I stand corrected.  In this case 'when I was a girl' it was not better.
