Carol I think keeping a nose out of personal lives would nice as it reads a bit condescending and inflammatory.

Well spotted!

If you read the posts I was responding to, you might see why!

I did and she is talking about her own farther!
Did you not say you were keeping to house price topics today and stopping personal coments?

But equally, they have no interest in gadgets, redoing their home yearly, designer clothes. Why should they blow the cash for its own sake?

Being able to say no to designer clothes and gagets gives a certain sense of freedom and independance.

Agreed, but it does not mean you should look down on people who chose to buy them either.

Would carolt and pickledpink please take their squabble into either their own thread or use Personal Messages, it's disrupting this thread a bit and I don't think anyone else is interested in the quarrel. Thanks

Back on topic (ish)...

Agreed. To me the whole point of saving is to try to gain an amount of financial independance. It's not a case of 'being the richest man in the graveyard', it's about being 'the most carefree man before arriving at the graveyard!'.

During this coming recession, who is going to feel the most secure, the chap with no savings but surrounded by his 'things' or the man who spends prudently on necessary items and the odd luxury and saves the rest?

Since this whole thread is now off-topic. A fully loaded, A-rated dishwasher is more energy efficient than washing-up.

Really? I don't need to plug my washing up bowl and cloth into anything.

Also I guess it depends on how many are in the family. It would probably take a week for my partner and I to fully load a dishwasher. By that time the flies would probably have licked them clean for us.

Oh, and that was a joke, PP. :rolleyes: The flies wouldn't last a week in our place what with all the damp and mould climbing the walls. We do, after all, rent and therefore live in absolute squalor.

You could always leave those dishes out and let 'friendly bacteria' clean them up for you.

Reading this it occurs to me that Friendly Bacteria would be a great name for a dog. I accept this thought is totally OT...dogs live in houses though, does that help?

Ooooh. Pot. Kettle. Black.

You're just jealous because it wasn't you (or one of your multiple alter-egos) involved in this spat.
