Liz Jones is Credit Crunched in the end.....

I have to say, if I ever want any in depth research/google sniffer dog services, I know who to call now

Rearing chickens when you're a Vegan is sort of odd too...unless she sells the eggs on.

LIR you can send an e-mail to her ....obviously screened...but you never know. Her horses sound expensive as they aren't all in top health but would be a shame for them to be shot...I know I am being a sentimental city girl

The whole truth thing...I have been wondering that as I read it and take it at face value but there must be some exaggeration going on.

Also, the mortgage arrears...surely she can't be still in denial about those?
If she posted onto DFW on the arrears etc, they would soon sort out a plan.

I wonder if the farm is up for sale already but confidentially? LIR may know?..or Purch as he's local to her.

Shall I email? I dunno. I shall see what happens to me this week and think about it.

I don't know anything about her farm sale because its too far west for me to look. If it were for sale that community I guess Purch might have heard.

She has enough money coming in to pay an accountant or financial advisor to sort out her affairs and sign a bit of paper to hand over the reins to him/her. S/he gives LJ pocket money and a bit of plastic with a low limit while getting LJ in the black.

It's what Elizabeth Wurtzel did when depression caused her to wind up in trouble with the tax man.

In fact LJ has probably already done it, but has sense enough not to tell us and spoil a juicy income-producing column.

(I edited all that in the name of gender equality after realising the utterly sexist assumptions this feminist girlie was making. Shame on me.)

Money can't buy happiness. However it does allow you to be miserable in luxury...;)

You, me and Woody Allen. "All I ask is the opportunity to prove money can't buy you happiness."

I see in a previous article she paid £95 to have 2 punctured wheel barrow wheels repaired ???????? , is she for real ?

Some one I know has a sit on lawn mower with a slow puncture. He also has one of those home air compressor things, which I think needs a small generator to work. So, rather than have the trye fixed he cuts the lawn, with the air compressor etc on a trailer, stopping as needed to re fill.

All in all, I'd spend on the new tyre.:o

I think a clue as to why she has no money is when she says the vet comes to visit the chicken (presumably much more expensive) as she will not take the chicken to the vet as "the chicken gets stressed!":eek:

She was furious with an older brother asking if she could really afford a "manage?" for her horse and saw it as a put down rather than a caring and sensible question.

Probably a stupid question but couldn't she sell something on e bay? Or pawn something?
