or perhaps a brand new car???
Just sparked by another thread btw.
You see I'm sure some people must look at us and think "they can't be hard up" - after all we have a virtually brand new car (was brand new when we bought it) and a rather nice pushchair (Hauck) - would you look at me and think "they're not hard up they don't know the meaning of the word".....or what?
You see - the Hauck came about as we qualified for the SureStart Maternity grand and given taht we had virtually everything else we needed we decided to splash out on a decent on.
The brand new car came about because 2yrs DH needed a car for his work (he still does - same job) - and the repayments on a brand new car worked out cheaper than the payments on the 2nd hand car we had!
I must say I do get a little fed up of people judging "books by their covers" so to speak and I just wondered if this was a common thing or whether people realise that there is other stuff behind it.
BTW - I'm not talking about people who say they're hard up and then jet off to the Caribbean for their holidays

So - if someone said they were hard up - would you believe them even if they had an "expensive" pushchair.......
