my understanding is that a repo would be approved by the courts, so what ever she claims, the judge mustn't have thought it was satisfactory.

sob stories dont wash with me, weve all got one about how we screwed our lives up in one way or another. but it wasnt ur fault and it wasnt fair.

reach for the prozac like the rest who cant face the reality of their own mess.

Agreed judges aren't stupid (even though some are out of touch) and tend to give people the benefit of the doubt

I dont understand why she didnt go back and claim her possesions before it was robbed 7 times? Repos allow a set time, normally 14 days, in which the previous owner can claim their goods.
I am normally looking for ways in which to excuse the ex owners but something about this seems off. Quite a bit in fact.

It looks nice. If I had a gazillion squid I might buy it, I love Norfolk.

I'd probably insure it properly if I did though.

The article in the Guardian is hilarious - she is apparently a "healer and psychic surgeon".

Can't understand why she isn't making a fortune - not many of them in Norfolk.........or the UK :rotfl:

Having read both versions of her events in both newspapers it seems as Errata stated she has a strange idea of reality.

it doesnt supprise me atall to hear that, im sure she would screw anyone over for a golden goose

maybee when she rubbed shoulder with the celebs she just took one to many, either that or found prince charles way to inspiring.

The EDP, a paper I have never really forgiven for the "Twelve Dogs of Christmas" feature, which caused me real pain and heartbreak for quite some time, has an article about her antiques shop being destroyed by the Jan 2007 storms. If you read the grauniad article (the first one) you see that the reason they didn't pay out on her insurance was because she had it insured as residential property. Despite the article in the local paper, she still claims this is wrong.

antiques, you say

I expect she stopped paying insurance then, because that is the sort of thing these people do. I recognise the type and have little sympathy.

She seems to still have a business and a website here.

grrrr... I'm having an MSE Saturday night. I thought everybody was. Nobody told ME it was chinese night!

I found 1Kg of spuds I bought a week before Xmas (best before 24 December), that had been left unopened in my cupboard between then and today. They all had massive sprouting bits all over them, so cut those off and cooked/mashed them, grated some cheapo cheese in and cooked half a tin of beans.

So here I sit, cheesy mash and beans - and you go and mention a chinese!!

oooohh, cheesy mashy beans, id rather have those over a chiinese any time. i have to say that we had a pizza and sides, which was not MSE, but thats cos boyfriend went to that march at hyde park for palestine and he was cold and hungry, so thats a bit of an excuse

however, if you like eggs and cheese and things, i think i invented (although it probably exisited before) a savoury brread and butter pudding. make cheese sarnies, put mustard on the brread instead of the butter, put some onions in it and put cheese on top and the savoury custard mixture,,,, mmmmmm

I did the MSE thing yesterday: made myself a pizza from scratch, served with home made wedges

Sounds nice, except the mustard, I don't like mustard... but the rest is worth noting.
