 She paid £525k for it in 2007:
 I paid CASH for it after selling my previous one last year - for £525.000 to be precise!

 She likes it:
 There is nothing more comforting and homely than living in a lovely, sumptious home filled with comfortable fine furniture and relishing in the comfort and spaciousness of it.

 It's freehold, not leasehold:
 Are you dense, Nenem?
 I don't have a mortgage.................
 Read......and LEARN!
 Oh, and my property is Freehold - I own the land it's built on. And as for you saying the council could come along and and build a motorway through it...................:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:you're bonkers!

 She has a large designer kitchen, with integrated units, including a new £1,000 tumble dryer:
 Ha! YOU obviously can't digest informaion properly!
 Yes, I DID buy my property in the last year - for cash - after I sold my previous house.:p
 As for the tumble-dryer (of which I subsequently bought) I needed an INTEGRATED CONDENSER type (all my units are fitted) and those dryers cost about a grand. I thought that was expensive - seeing as most dryers are only about £250!
 It had NOTHING to do with space (my kitchen is LARGE:p ) but I didn't want to spoil the neat lines of my designer kitchen by having any old dryer stuck in the middle of it! PLUS, I needed an INTEGRATED one so as to cover it with the door which matches the rest of my kitchen units.
 I suppose you wouldn't know about integrated appliances - in fact, I doubt you even have a tumble dryer!!:rotfl:

 She lives in a "nice area" and not on a "sink estate".
 Thank God YOU'LL never be able to afford to buy...................you'd drag the neighbourhood down.
 The words SPONGE and SINK ESTATE spring to mind.
 Yeah but, no but, yeah but, no but......................
 Ever heard of the words WORK, PRIDE and GRAFT?
 Sounds like you and your parents are lazy lards who want everything done for them without getting off their fat butts!

            Pickledpink never recovered from her dilemma with the tumble dryer. It seems to have been the start of her descent into name calling and endless boasting. And she calls other people braggarts. It's a pity someone so articulate should use the ability to write such endless piffle.0

            NDG, when you are in court do actually say 'Your honour I rest my case'?'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0

            I think the end is near for pickled pink, i think shes gonna have to change her username.

            NDG, when you are in court do actually say 'Your honour I rest my case'?
 No.
 I've not been in front of a circuit judge for ages. You get circuit judges (called "your honour") in County Courts and Crown Courts.
 District Judges (County Courts and Magistrates' Courts) Magistrates, Immigration Judges and Senior Immigration Judges are "Sir" or "Madam".
 High Court and Court of Appeal judges are addressed as "My Lord" or "My Lady".
 I am almost always in front of Immigration Judges and Senior Immigration Judges, or High Court and Court of Appeal judges.
 In fact, I more normally say something like, "Those are my submissions, unless there is something your Lordship would like me to expand on?"
 You don't call a High Court or Court of Appeal judge "you" either. So one might say, "If your Lordship could turn to p.13 of the Claimant's bundle...."...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'.0

 I said nothing nasty at all. I merely quoted....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'.0

 she is £136.99 worse off every day

 or 9.5p an minute
 This based on a conservative estimate of a 10 % fall continuing for the next 12 months.
 Miaow!:p

The thing she doesn't seem to grasp is that because it's an anonymous site no one cares; because either no one believes her or because no one knows her. How can you be jealous of a stranger?
 It's also a sad state of affairs if people have to boost their egos by bragging to strangers about wealth that they may or may not actually have.
 Aaaah...........but I do have it!:D
 I couldn't give 2 figs about you lot - but you all seem stir crazy about MY house!
 Why would that be I wonder?:rotfl:0
