    I thought *everyone* had a great big whisky bottle to stash their change in!

    Pound coins and 50p's get to live on in the wallet, anything less gets chucked in the bottle. Maybe one day I'll count it up and pay into the bank. If I can be bothered...

    Dearest Mr DT, put it in your 'saving for a deposit fund' ;)
  • Picledpink, I've no problem with the notion that people own their5 own homes outright, as you say, I will myself shortly.

    However in your case you have the writing style of a child or at best an adolescent. You're clearly unable to debate in an adult and reasoned manner, able only to throw around silly insults to try and make your confused point. You simply come across as someone too young, immature and unintelligent to have gathered the wherewithal to buy and then pay off your own home.

    And since (if what you say is true) you didn't, you simply married someone with money then I'd say that confirms it.

    Maybe you should ask yourself this, do you really own your own home, or just live in your rich wifes house?

    "You simply come across as someone too young, immature and unintelligent to have gathered the wherewithal to buy and then pay off your own home."

    Ha! According to your viewpoint - and that of many of the other numpties on this site - it's only the UNintelligent people who buy their own home!:p

    Most intelligent people don't have to marry into money to own their own home and actually contribute to the purchase - unlike yourself my dear. (Oh, how I love a little condescension.)

    If that was indeed my viewpoint, how come (as you know because you've already said) I have bought my own home? :rotfl:

    Little tip for you, when you've dug yourself into a hole, it's best to stop digging... ;)

    Why not ask your rich wife for some pocket money and go down the amusement arcade or something instead. :)

    Exactly what my OH does :mad:

    And mine. The most infuriating habit.
    Anything other than pound coins aren't real money in his eyes. Then he always comes to me for parking change.

    I was fortunate to marry well and that is why I am mortgage free.
    I TOO married WELL. I have LOADS of MONEY, well my HUSBAND does. But we SHARE. He shares and I SPEND. Have you heard of SHARING you LOSERS!

    I am SO HAPPY in his house. That's WHY I spend time on HERE because I have time to SPARE. Even though we have a BIG house, and lots of SOCIAL life, and lots of MONEY - I still FEEL THE NEED to tell you losers about it.

    He is GENEROUS. That's why he bought me an AU PAIR and a MATSUI. He suggested an au pair, I BET you LOSERS would like one. I've got one and SHE's REALLY YOUNG. Much younger than ME. Or you, you OLD NEVER WAS BEENS.

    She wanted a TUMBLE DRYER to feel special. So I bought her ONE. Now we sit and watch EITHER the tumble dryer, or the MATSUI, or the AU PAIR.

    I am SO HAPPY. Can you SEE how HAPPY I am. No, because you are SAD VILE chav scum losers who don't CARE about MONEY, only each OTHER.

    Oh GOD, I am so HAPPY. I really AM. Can you SEE how happy I am, and fullfilled. And happy.

    Mewbie, I'm worried. You're getting too good at this (-:
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Exactly. So a change purse would be fantastic, if OH would actually use it!
