I've seen a house I really want to buy!

If 675,000 Mumsnetters could just lend me a pound for, say, 6 months, I'd be sorted Grin. That would give me enough time to get my house up to scratch for selling.

Or just 135,000 of you lend me a fiver?

Please, please, please oh please! Am good for the money, promise.

I'd give you a quid, set up the page.

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 12/05/2017 22:21

A quid's yours, in exchange for occasional use of your satin, tat and frock coat. Wink

RubyFlint · 12/05/2017 22:22

I'm in. Remember to spend the old pound coins before October.

IrritableBitchSyndrome · 12/05/2017 22:26

Yeah, I'm in OP :)

whereiscaroline · 12/05/2017 22:31

I'll give a pound, set up the page OP! And if you only get part way there, you can buy an amazing house in my area for £250,000 Grin

Jellybean85 · 12/05/2017 22:33

I would chip in a £1!!! Let's do it !

Jellybean85 · 12/05/2017 22:33

How much do you have already?

WankingMonkey · 12/05/2017 22:34

But have to ask seeing as were here ....AIBU to do my own begging post?! Especially seeing as I 'd only need £200k to buy my dream house!

I only need 60k! But I would be using the dreaded right to buy scheme that I disagree with 100% but would love to take advantage of it like the hypocrite I am Blush

FlissMumsnet · 12/05/2017 22:35

This thread has made a tough night much better - thanks for the laugh Bibbity.

Put me down for £1 too. Grin

JamAndBread · 12/05/2017 22:38

I'm in. I want you to have a house you lufs even if no one else will. Also, I appreciate you not giving a sob story.

StrangeLookingParasite · 12/05/2017 22:40

I'd give you 2€.

AcrossthePond55 · 12/05/2017 22:41

Hell, I'll give you a tenner IF you promise that I can stay with you whenever I'm in town.

(Not as bad as it sounds, I live in the US) Grin

marmitecrumpets · 12/05/2017 22:43

I'd give you a pound too

Fletchasaurus · 12/05/2017 22:46

I bought my forever home in November, I'm in! Cheers! Wine

SingaSong12 · 12/05/2017 22:49

I'm in for a £1, but only a new one. I need to guard the old style ones to use in the lockers at the gym. Which bedroom do I get? Grin

lastcheesestraw · 12/05/2017 22:56

I mean you are all just joking aren;t you :) people don;t give money to people who don't need it do they?!!!

it IS just a friday might jape???

I just don;t know whats up or down anymore in this crazy world.

yes, yes, stress has crushed my sense of humour!

DakotaFanny · 12/05/2017 22:58

To be fair, I'll give you a quid. But I've seen a house I want too and it's £895K (down from 1.2 mil though so an ABSOLUTE bargain!). It's got a granny flat for the ageing parents and everything. Can you send me £1.50 back??? Good luck and thanks! Wink

SnickersWasAHorse · 12/05/2017 22:59

I've got 10 Polish Zloty. Do you want that?

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 12/05/2017 23:00

Here's a Gin, Wine (or Brew, if you're being Halo whilst on duty), FlissMumsnet...sorry tonight's proving a tough shift: what you need is a lovely break in bibbity*'s soon-to-be-crowdfunded des res, eh?

MrsJamesMathews · 12/05/2017 23:05

I guarantee "users" translates as 'unique visitors' not registered member.

no, I haven't RTFT

SnickersWasAHorse · 12/05/2017 23:11

How do you find out your registration number anyway?

GiraffesAndButterflies · 12/05/2017 23:29

Yabvu for not posting a link. So I'm afraid you owe me £1 for my disappointment. Wink

lydiangel83 · 12/05/2017 23:30

I like this idea I will stick a fiver in - probably worth you setting up a justgiving page though? Good luck!

OhBlissOhJoy · 12/05/2017 23:31

I'm a bit skint at the moment OP but I'll check what parking change I've got in the car in the morning and you can have that ie lots of shrapnel that's no use in a parking meter anyway

haveacupoftea · 12/05/2017 23:41

OP if you had actually set up a just giving page I bet you'd have enough for a deposit on the house by now Smile
