Do you mean the one you had given a doorstep loan to with a apr 0f 200% +
Yes actually, and she is very happy because I have sorted out an outlet for her knitwear. She is very happy.
She will make good money and have a happy retirement. Don't try and make me feel guilty for operating a business.
Rather than moan about everyone else's success, do something for yourself.0 -

Poor begger arrived at school yesterday morning with lovely blue hands after his 3 miles walk to school...it just about convinced me to buy him some :rotfl:We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -

NOT TRYING TO MAKE YOU FEEL GUILTY..BUT HEY IF YOU ARE I DON'T BLAME YOU.
I HAVE DONE SOMETHING FOR MYSELF AND RETIRED EARLY FROM IT AND IT DID NOT INVOLVE BEING A MAGGOT....:rotfl:
249% IS THE CORRECT APR IS IT NOT?It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -
If I was a maggot, I'd charge 249% APR, and work my whole life, not enjoying my family and not seeing my kids grow up.
As it hapens, charge 365.5% APR on loans.I have no shortage of clients and I kick back ad enjoy my family...which is the most important thing.
By the way, I probably give more to charities than you could earn in your lifetime, so get off your high horse and do something positive.0 -

I sincerely hope that you are joking about you APR - otherwise when your mother in law drives your car off the cliff, I hope she has you with her:D"there are some persons in this World who, unable to give better proof of being wise, take a strange delight in showing what they think they have sagaciously read in mankind by uncharitable suspicions of them"(Herman Melville)0
