Can you remeber the buy price you said they paid asking price what was it?
What is it going on the market for now? got a link to it?0 -
At least they tried. They've made a mistake, we can only hope they learn from it.
You can't cotton wool everyone in life, people are bound to make some decisions they'll regret. If they pick themselves up from it and become a better person then it was a lesson worth learning.
What do you gain by leering over their misfortune except that you get to parade your presumed superiority over what is happening in the world today?0 -

This would be better in the sense that the couple could be together in the evenings. And as for the kids, I know plenty of young families who are able to reconcile working and home life - day/night shift working should be an absoute last resort IMO (but I can understand the necessity of it in some circumstances, of course).
I shouldn't have to reword and explain my quoted comment, but if you are the sensitive type, you should hold back a bit before pouncing with inflammatory insults (e.g. complete idiot, snob), at least until you're sure of your convictions.
Well working nights at Asda would pay more money , and they wouldnt have to pay for child care . Its a perfectly sensible thing to do tbh0
