    I am not a Mortgage Adviser
    You should note that this site doesn't check my status as not being a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it. Any posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as financial advice.
  • I'm dumbfounded by the sheer denial most of these people were in. The Thug & the Mortgage advisor didn't seem to try & get work anywhere else.

    At least the MEWSing builder went out & worked extra shifts (probably to pay for the gym membership & highlights tho');)
    Nothing is easy........'til you find out how!

    And did you see the fancy plasma caller ID screen in that womans house when the number was rining withheld?!
    Amstrad email junk.Hardly fancy plasma!:rolleyes:
  • Yeah a called ID phone is cheap, but not a plasma screen wall mounted thingy? Im presuming that was one of them plasma screen TV's that had been wired up to the phone system...in which case Im not griping at the called ID but at the expensive plasma screen TV. How much do they cost then? I dont know, the most gadgety thing Ive ever bought is my £40 digital camera!

    A couple of friends of mine are going through hard times, husband made redundant and baby on the way, and mum at college on a full time nursing degree, but he's got a job delivering pizza at night for extra cash - why couldnt any of these couple do something like that?

    There is nothing I wouldnt do if things got so bad I had a 28 day eviction notice. I have been modeling commercial/fashion/beauty on/off since I was a teenager and have avoided the glamour route, but if my house was seriously about to be repossessed and I could save it by doing topless/page 3/Zoo/Nuts type work, Id do it! Not saying the people on the programme could have done that lol, but you get my drift - you find SOME way of getting money.

    I dont think it would have made any differenc if they would have gone out and got work, what would you pay the bald man to do he didnt come over has the brightest spark?

    And the mortgage advisor was living in dream land, he just wanted to sit on his arris and make money, he should have realised when mortgage applications had gone down and his phone had stopped ringing to get up of his bottom.

    Instead he stays in his office and tells hise wife he has chest pains, if i done that id have chest pains and id probably have marks around my neck from where the missus would be strangling me.

    It was ill hide im my office whilst the missus goes to work in a butchers for 200 pound a week, you could see she was well upset with him.

    Sorry but don't have too much sympathy.

    LOL, it's a private auction - normally sellers only use those for embarassing products like adult toys and male enhancement pills
