    +1. If your dad hasn't done any of that, then he has on right to call you names. How about helping around the house, doing the housework, washing the dishes and doing the laundry etc to help out your parents while they are at work? Making them dinner occasionally would do some good. As long as you show them you are trying to find a job and in the mean time, do stuff to "please" them so they not only see you doing stuff which has no significance to them.

    Don't sell your collection as everyone said, you will regret it in the future. Have you ever bought some of the figures just for the hell of it and you didn't really like it? Maybe sift through those that fit the bill and sell those to help support yourself a bit while you're job hunting.

    Sorry to hear it Turtle boy

    I think everyone here has already said what I wanted to...

    I remember living in Melbourne for a couple of years... I was working in the Entertainment Industry, which is bloody hard! I was so tempted on many occasions to sell my musical equipment (guitars, amps, etc...) because I would've got 2-3 grand for it all. At the time I really needed the cash, but thankfully people close to me talked me out of it! All I could see was the quick fix $$$, but I would have regretted it later! BIG TIME!! In the end I've managed to carve out a successful career in this industry AND keep all my gear. You're just going through a rough patch, but you WILL get out of it eventually. Don't do anything you'd regret later!

    Funnily enough, even though I needed cash at that time, collecting TFs was one of the small highlights I had in my life. It kept me happy while I was struggling!

    All the best!

    Wow thanks alot guys. I'll go back and answer all questions. Well I've been at Ruby's place for the past 4 days, due to that i've been absent from msn and all forums. I'm back home and I've just had 3 interviews in wang and one here in wodonga, I have to go look around the work shop here at the wodonga place, and as much a I'd like to live closer to Ruby, i think having 75 kms between us is good. Stops all the fighting. So I'm not sure, if I'd take a job in wang for that reason.

    I have ways around it that I would use, But still not sure.
    Thanks for all the support guys. I've packed my collection up for tjhe time being. See how that goes.
