Haha - i am so with you on this one, i don't know anyone who wouldn't be tbh.

As someone who has been piss pot poor (no now, thank God) I have come to the conclusion that a little bit of poverty makes you appreciate everything so much more. Sick of the whingy from on MN recently.

Oh, I get you. They should try living in the real world like us peasants! I still have the power to laugh at myself.

asif · 26/11/2008 22:10

PerkinWarbeck · 26/11/2008 22:13

LOL.

we moved to the farkin NORTH last month.

bratnav · 26/11/2008 22:16

Know what you mean MP, DP and I don't have credit cards or loans, if we can't afford it by saving then we don't own it.

YANBU...if you can't afford it than you shouldn't have it....and I don't mean buy everything cash, but if you do take out a loan or whatever, be sure you can pay it no matter what , really consider every circumstance...

Lilyloo · 26/11/2008 22:20

Are these people not reading any of the posts on here

Must be hard though

chequersandroastedchestnuts · 26/11/2008 22:22

Revjustabout, she drives the chauffeur around?!

giantkatestacks · 26/11/2008 22:22

yep YANBU they wind me right up...stop living beyond your means you eejits...

TheSeriousOne · 26/11/2008 22:22

I don't often agree with MP, but I totally agree with you on this sentiment.

Bankers have a responsibility re. what's happening, but so do ALL the people who took out finance for things they didn't need and couldn't afford.

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 26/11/2008 22:24

Lol. I think I have a funny brain this morning.

I just read justabout's post as

"Justabout adjusts cat flap" and wondered what cat flaps have to do with being up north and how one might adjust it whilst sitting typing at a computer...

Oh, and OP YANBU.
