In this family there are three people, two girls and there father. There father had once been a very rich man, he had owned a very sucssesful buissnes but one day it had gone bust. They had to sell all there lovely things and there lovely house. The situation was so bad the girls mother left them,that is how they came to be in this state now.

They weren't used to cooking for them selves because they had been so used to having serveants to do evreything for them, in fact they had been quite spoiled. The girls were very diffrent, one was 17, she was called and she was very moody. She wouldn't help to do any thing around the house and when she did do some thing she wouldn't stop grumbling about it. The other one was 12 and the complete opposite, she was unhappy if she did NOT have a job to do and she always had a smile on her face.
