I think I can see where SOZ is comign from..

Heaven forfend some peopel not be in a financial position to BUY a house - or at least rent privately.. I mean HOW dreadful taht some people (myself included) would have to STOOP so low as to rent LOW cost quality housing from a Councilor ocial landlord.

How simply SHOCKING then that the Government Provide low cost (- NOT - subsidised) for individuals and families who are denied through their circumstances the luxury of owning their home.

and worse still her precious House might resemble a HA/Council house... well FUCK me how shockingly dreadful - I mean you'd think architects would have the good sense to differentiate house appearences for the sae of those who CAN buy one over the rest of us scum.

Could SOZ I wonder imagine what its like to be looked down on so much for living in a council house, and worse still actually being on full housing and council tax benefit, eeking out an existence on Income Support - becuase working just isn't an option, does she consider how much it takes from you to KNOW you are being 'subsidised'. Does she know how it feels to have to justify NOT being able to work? to have to attend regular work focussed interviews where you may as well bang your head against the wall? becuase unless a job thats 10am - 2pm, term time only and pays you to have all the time off you need to with 2 children to consider ( the youngest of whom is diabled)and this job would have to pay exceptionally well JUST to keep the Council rented roof over our heads.

My pride is dented enough without the kindof snobbery and judgemental attitudes displayed here.

Woop de Woo you OWN your house.

When I die I might not have anything to leave my children, that doen't make me STUPID
or unlucky.

We don't live extravagantly, this idyllic notion of being on benefits is NOT what some people imagine. What I aren't apoying in rent and council tax - I am paying to get myself out of some serious debt, we only have a car becuase my youngest son is disabled.

If I am eve in teh position to own my own home,and not NEED benefits you can count on one thing, as sure as shit, I will NOT be lookign down on anyone, I will not si there all SMUG becuase I own my home and you don't so ner ner nee ner ner.

needmorecoffee · 23/12/2008 15:46

that looney still banging on about god knows what.
I reckon she is 'subbed' and will now look down on her.

emmalou78 · 23/12/2008 15:48

Oh and before anyone starts on my spelling - I really can't help it - I can't SEE the mistakes or I would correct them

lonevoiceinthedark · 23/12/2008 15:49

I'm back. Borrowed Grandpa's Selway, so much quicker.
No, tis definitely not a child but a gammon in the oven.
The child is up on the battlements catapulting last night's leftovers across the hedge to the people on the Housing Association estate. We take our charity seriously here in the hamlet of Nether Region.
Emmalou lady don't you ever come on here justifying yourself in the face of this madness. You're doing just fine.

2AdventSevenfoldShoes · 23/12/2008 17:00

TLESinChristmasStockings did you get that house on part buy?

littleboyblue · 23/12/2008 17:45

I'm still shocked at reading about it beng someone's husbands choice to fight for this country!
Oh my good god.
Can I just say a big massive thank you to himand everyone else that serves this country.

2AdventSevenfoldShoes · 23/12/2008 18:00

well done to her dh.
doesn't stop her being thick though

littleboyblue · 23/12/2008 18:10

It's not OP's hubby, was it herbies?

2AdventSevenfoldShoes · 23/12/2008 18:18

well who ever's dh it is I say well done him

JollyPirate · 23/12/2008 18:18

Having read through this nasty and unpleasant thread I think it needs to be removed - as someone who HAS to rent (albeit in the private sector) I am very hurt by some of the comments made here by the OP who seems to think anyone who has to rent is a subsidised by herself and many others.

At the end of the day everyone needs somewhere to live and if that means being subsidised so be it. I just do not understand what the OP's problem is with that - the house she links to looks very nice and I am not sure what she was asking us to say. . If her point was to be as unpleasant as possible then I'd like to say "congratulations" - job done. Merry Christmas to you - may you learn a little humility.

spotty you are a silly woman - do you know that?

Yes my DH chose to go in the RAF and it is just as well he and thousands of others like him did, otherwise the world would be a very dangerous place.
so fucking what, theres loads of dangerous josbs it's his choice.

FWIW we had our own 2 bed box which we sold and then bought a 3 bedroomed house. When DH was posted here we sold it - at the height of the housing market and banked the money. So who is the silly one? Not me!
well yes you.

trouble is like most of her posts it doesn't make much sense

LucyEllensmummy · 23/12/2008 18:30

Jolly - please don't feel hurt, and emmalou eigther. The OP is the only one on this thread who agrees with herself. I honestly think she is the prime example of a troll - attention seeking bint. You do have to feel sorry for her in a way that she has such low self esteem that she has to make herself feel better about herself by looking down on others. She isn't worth getting upset about.

LucyEllensmummy · 23/12/2008 18:32

I wonder if SOZ works or is she a kept woman?

jenk1 · 23/12/2008 18:34

oh i LOVE my HA house,its so much nicer than our previous owned one, i love it love it love it and dont care WHO knows that we live in a HA house,i consider myself very lucky to have been given this house.

littleboyblue · 23/12/2008 18:35

She has fsr too much pride to not work, surely
Or maybe she doesn't work and feels so fantastic that like many others she doesn't claim benefits for chosing to stay at home?

hercules1 · 23/12/2008 18:36

She doesn't work. SHe briefly considered it according to another thread but when she realised she wouldnt get most of her childcare paid for by the government she decided it wasn't worth her while.

littleboyblue · 23/12/2008 18:37

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

2AdventSevenfoldShoes · 23/12/2008 18:38

I don't feel sorry for her.

littleboyblue · 23/12/2008 18:39

Me either. i feel sorry for the people whom she will press her views and snobbery on to.......

2AdventSevenfoldShoes · 23/12/2008 18:46

never mind forget her......
and
look at this instead
