New cars are a waste of money anyway

Pay £12k, a few years later sell it for 7k or something.

Me: buy banger for £250, if it's still alive in a few years, sell it for £250.

My mum loved that bit, tara She encouraged Dad to get the car he did (not that he needed encouragement ) based on the fact the saleman mentioned flowers for "the wifey"! :rotfl:

thought i come back and say sorry if id upset anyone .. dont wanna do a feelie but it was never my intention to say you didnt work hard or anything or too sound ungreatful that i get help from TC until i get a better job ..

mfd you need college for everything but i intend to work and save til i owe nothing and have a car .. hairdressing is something id like but i lack focus and to honest have no faith myself to get that far so working is my only option at the mo ..

from now on i wont mention my money, lack of it or wanting alittle more as i seem to upset or make people angry ..

once again sorry and i shall go back to lurking x

I totally agree with Sugar. It’s fine for everyone to have dreams and aspirations, but no-one should feel that they deserve to be handed something on a plate, they should be prepared to work for it like most people have to.

I work hard for my money too and have never claimed benefits before. But there is a need to have a benefits system. It’s a shame it’s abused by some, but you can’t scrap it otherwise crime, homelessness etc would shoot up. And I don’t mind paying taxes either.

SM – you can’t “go back to lurking” as you have the highest post count on here, so can’t have been a lurker in the first place! I don’t think the hostility was intended to be directed at you, but it does seem to have come across that way. As you say, you are prepared to work to better yourself, and that’s commendable. I hope Philip manages to find something too.

I'm just worried that they're both old man cars!!!

I agree Fitz, the system is most definately needed. Lots of people have unexpected things happen and as you say taxes are needed just for that reason.

i dont know if beenie relates to this but getting pg at 17 ive had a "teenage pregnancy good for nothing on benefits" scraped in to my forehead .. so its nice not to have benefits for that reason ive been on them since i found out i was pg with zoe and its feels nice to not but looked down on .. i know the system is there if the worst should happen but its nice to feel like im helping by working x

Pah, so much to say, but I keep deleting it because it's not quite right. I give up.

I'm off to bed otherwise I will have bags under my eyes for meeting Csh and I need to chose a nice outfit in the morning for Holly to impress Kieren with (although definitely not ironing anything as I don't even know where the iron is kept).

Night all,
