    Well, borrowing won't be soaring to fund Christmas in THIS house.
    We've always lived within our income and if we couldn't afford it, we wouldn't buy it.

    Always said this since I was at school, they came round with the begging bowl, never any talk of buying them contraception in Africa. What happens up they surface later on half a dozen kids etc. We need more money :confused: Well they'll be seeing fk all from me:confused:
