To be fed up with jealous people who seem to hate anyone who has more money than them?

I seem to epitomise what some people hate - I live in a gated estate, drive a 4x4, am a SAHM and send my children to private school. Why does this mean that some people think this gives them a right to be rude to me or about the choices my family make? I would never look down on anyone who doesn't have or do what I do, so why is it ok to do it the other way round? I am so fed up with it! And you know the ones I really can't stand? Champagne socialists who think they are all left-wing with socialist ideals but are really just like me!

SoleSource, yeah it's an artificial tree. Nowt fancy lol. No way did the decorations come with it, I'm not that privileged :) I had a look in the likes of Sainsburys and Next for decorations and as nice and good quality and plush as they are I thought, "Sod that!" and again went to the B and Ms or the good old pound shop :) I then put all my bags on my pram and got the bus.

Are you in fact....Kerry Katona?!

Oh, and as for "You see I'm not gloating - you are just jealous you don't have it" No, you are actually a bit gloaty, and just because ppl mention it does not mean they are jealous, you have no idea what they have do you?

Oh, and I live in a 3 bed semi and earn average wage, and have been known to order from Ocado, but, no no, don't just say, the shopping is due to be delivered, lets specify Ocado, in case we all thought it was Asda.

You are showing off a wee bit bth.

I lived in a nice house, parents were well off, went to a private school.

I was BULLIED because of it, as if it was even my choice? I see your point OP, though the way you say it does make you sound like a bit of a twat.

I now live in a regular house, drive a shitty car and as much as I'd love to end my children to private school I could never afford it. It doesn't Change who I am at all, except now I'm less judged because being rich seems to be offensive to people less off!

McChristmasPants2012 · 17/12/2012 18:18

Lol at this thread still going

catgirl1976geesealaying · 17/12/2012 18:49

Has the OP conceeded yet that people not liking her has nothing to do with how much cash she has or did she get fed up round about when the freroo rogers were getting removed from someones fanjo?

fixarupa · 17/12/2012 20:33

Well you really sound like you are enjoying your fabby life, so why do you give a toss what other people think? I am a socialist but more Cava than Champagne. I wonder though, why your kids deserve a better education than mine because you have the money to pay for it?

NolittleBuddahsorTigerMomshere · 17/12/2012 20:41

:) They will forever be known to me as some sort of variant on the correct spelling elf. I think it suits them

On another note, I had a dark chocolate Lindor today.

It was amazing

You must all buy some at once! You will thank me Grin

NolittleBuddahsorTigerMomshere · 17/12/2012 21:36

You did me stealth boast, but the OP is not stealth boasting, but out and out boasting

BabylonElf · 17/12/2012 21:42

Dark chocolate Lindor sound amazing!! I have some homemade dark chocolate rocky road here. That is bloody awesome!

catgirl1976geesealaying · 17/12/2012 22:04

FreudiansSlipper · 17/12/2012 22:08

Lord hope you do not brag in such a way at the school gates op not really the thing to do when you send your child to a top prep school

BabylonElf · 17/12/2012 22:19

It is good Cat but I'm getting fatter just looking at the tin.

God only knows how my diamanté belt is going to fit can't afford pearls or diamonds Xmas Grin

catgirl1976geesealaying · 17/12/2012 22:26

I've eaten all the Lindor Blush

And a swan. And a peasant from the village. Fucker climbed over my gates and tried to steal my 4x4

BabylonElf · 17/12/2012 22:28

Well get me, I switched on ALL my Christmas lights tonight :)

My house is visible from the moon don't ya know!!! so DH says anyway

I bet all your lights went dim when I did the switch on Xmas Wink

catgirl1976geesealaying · 17/12/2012 22:30

I wondered what that was
But I liked it........

Gave me an opportunity to snaffle the rest of the Lindors before DH knew what was happening Xmas Grin

BabylonElf · 17/12/2012 22:35

[Fgrin]

Just caught DH trying to snaffle some rocky road....... Mwaaahh haha ha, I didn't tell him it was dark chocolate. He hates dark chocolate!!!!!
