Property Watch is part of the delusion

Mini_Bear

I agree with Yakubu22 i saw the program last night and was shocked that the Gloucester woman showed the present round a house that she said she had spent 50k doin up - it looked barely habitable. I found her laughing rather odd too like she didnt care that it wud be us taxpayers bailing out the banks that now have huge holes in their balance sheets thanks to her. im not completely blaming her - the banks let her expolit the system. But really she should hav stopped at 5 houses and wud hav bin sitting pretty. Property is only one asset class and u must hold a diversified portfolio for retirement (my good old economics teacher drummed that in2 us!)

That useless old bint from Gloucester got right on my nerves. Her sheer lack of regret for the obvious level of at best stupid borrowing (more than likely she told more porky pies than Greggs the Bakers), was absolutely having a giraffe. How on earth did she spend £50k, can't see that the fixtures and fitting were ever more than just cheap and nasty.

I'd be more than happy for her and her kind to be fed to the lions, shame the the Colloseum closed for business at present.

She wound me up too... I can't believe how oblivious she is, and how she didn't even seem bothered as she was drving around saying this and that was being repossessed... She has got out of this with no come back on herself, and I can't understand how that can happen... I know it's not a nice thing to have happen to anyone, but I really think she should be held accountable for her reckless borrowing!

and this was in 2005, no wonder she was shouting the market up. Desperation springs to mind.

Ms Millard, 37, started dabbling in the property market in 2000 after she decided that simply living in one house with a mortgage was 'boring'.

:rotfl:

And I just love this "expert" someone found in a dusty cupboard somewhere:

Professor Cary Cooper, head of organisational psychology at Lancaster University said: 'These people may be earning quite a lot of money but they are very time-poor and just can't manage their financial affairs. They just think they can take care of everything with plastic.

'They are often not buying unnecessary luxuries but spending on very necessary things... They just don't have time to shop around and get good deals.'

Five properties, yes that's "very necessary".

So Rosie Millard is only 41 now then? Crikey, I thought she was about 50. Remortgage for botox, love, not houses.

It's a cat. Cute and fluffy, but he hates you ... he only keeps coming back while you feed him food that he likes.. if somebody else provides him nicer food he'll be off.

So move the damned cat!

This one is annoying me. Refugees, get a council house, get right to buy with £16k discount and they buy it.

She loves me! I think. But she woke up and I have the remote If she were awake i'd move her or call her, but I think its a bit rough when she's fast asleep: besides, they look cute when they are asleep and lying on/clutching the remote.:D
