Ask me anything, after this I will name change.

Happy to take the good and the bad.

Which political party do you normally vote for?

This is such a weird thread. Ask me anything means people ask a question and then you answer. I'm off to find that thread where, when the OP got narked by a comment she hit back with " I bet you drive a vauxhall zafira". Funniest thing ever.

Thanks for answering about what you both do, and very well done! It's great to see people making big financial success out of hard work and an enterprising approach, rather than simply inheriting a fortune (IMO, anyway).

Did you choose private or state education for your children?

If your children went to uni, did you pay for them or do they have loans to repay?

What did it feel like when you both realised you were becoming hugely successful?

Well done again 💪

What do you think anyone would actually want to ask you?

We do not live in an equal society, most people work hard and do not get very fair, most live month to month.
We have been very lucky, took huge risks and made it, most are not as lucky as us, and we know that.

We share our wealth, we have paid off my husbands parents mortgage and paid for all improvements on their house, we have paid for holidays for the family and our best holiday for my kids was a caravan holiday to Devon with their cousins.

You won the lottery but didn't give up your jobs.

You're a Dinner lady, You use your kitchen full of ovens to prepare the school dinners.

I call BS.

😂

Have there ever been times when your husband has been taking huge financial risks, when you could have lost everything, including your home, when you wished he just had a normal job?

I would love to know what his upbringing was like please. Did he come from poverty, money or a family who encouraged him to take risks or play it safe?

I’m in awe of people who have the balls to go for it, but it was drilled into me from a very early age to live a ‘safe’ financial life.

Really fascinating thread - thanks for posting.

Do you have lots of expensive designer handbags ( Chanel etc) and do you spend a lot on designer clothes ?

Do you spend a lot on beauty treatments (fillers/ Botox etc), grooming, now that you can or do you not go in for that kind of stuff

Do you love your husband?

No questions.
Enjoy it! 🙂

How old are your children?

Our children went to private school but were the only ones to have a Saturday job, the kids were given cars but they had to pay to go out and pay for their petrol.

So far all the children have gone to Uni, or are going to Uni, we paid for their fees and accommodation but anything else they had to save up for it or work through uni, they did not get an allowance.

When we become successful it did not feel real, I was very proud my husband could not believe his luck and my husband still hates getting any form of credit and has a couple of accounts that are easy access so if the business was to go bankrupt we could survive for a year.

You get paid £60k as a DSL???

S = selling used panties to rich businessmen

How long did it take for your husband's scaffolding business to get off the ground?

😂

🤣

Can I borrow a tenner?

You take home 720k, after tax, have multiple properties. But if the business went bust could only survive a year?

Well done on getting to where you have, I think most of us would love to be in the same position. Obviously you must have the same worries as everyone else. Health, elderly parents, kids etc.

How does it feel to never worry about unexpected bills?

Where do you do your food shop?

What is your biggest extravagance?

They deleted it. Absolutely gutted about that

Where do you do your weekly food shop?

I always wonder if I'd opt for Waitrose every time, buy organic, etc. if I could afford it!!

As a director of the company do you get paid anything from it and do you actually earn it if you do?

I love my husband very much, he is my biggest champion and I am very proud of him.

I have regular facials (once a month) my hair every six weeks and a blow dry when we go out, I have Botox every 6 months, but no fillers, lashes or nails.

I have expensive handbags and shoes, including Chanel but do not take them to work, my everyday handbags are Mulberry.
