£1.79 from me today.
I'm afraid my dislike of tories has only intensified in the last 24 hours. OH comes from a family of tories and we deliberately don't talk politics because it only ends in arguments. However, yesterday OH's parents came round for a cuppa and I wasn't feeling too great anyway (I had my nose cauterized on Friday and have had a constant headache since). OH's dad went into a great long rant about the state of the economy and started saying that only morons without more than two brain cells would vote for anyone but conservative. OH, bless him, did try to explain that differing political opinion doesn't have anything to do with intelligence but his dad (who doesn't know I'm not a tory) wouldn't have any of it.
Being rational, I don't REALLY hate all tories. What I do hate is having other people's political views rammed down my throat in my own home.
Can I go home and back to bed now?Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP(Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)0 -

They have (and sadly Labour are the same now) ignored "normal" folk to put money in the pockets of big business and generally sh*t on the working classes. As a former union rep, I genuinely will never vote for them, even if they could promise us all unicorns and wells that give us all molten gold. I just don't trust them.
Same here. I don't think that Labour is completely innocent either, but I think it was worse in the early eighties.
Plus, having had them not follow through on promises before, it really doesn't matter what their policies now are. I don't trust them to deliver on even one of them, let alone the majority of them.
It doesn't help that they always have such privilaged people as their party leaders. I can't relate to someone who's had everything they ever wanted/needed handed to them so easily. Perhaps if they had a few more members who had worked they way up from nothing, I'd have more faith. And that goes for all parties (generally speaking).
I don't hate the tories, I dislike them. And I don't hate posh people either, but I do take issue with them telling me (and others who had/have it far worse than I), that they understand me (us), what I (we) went through and the challenges I (we) face today. They don't, and unless their funds are suddenly stripped, they never will. It's patronising and it gets my back up.
COMP - sorry to hear it's become so heated in your house. Ignore the FIL, he's being stubborn and is probably annoyed that the tories aren't in. Deep breaths and lots of tea/chocolate!
All the IKEA furniture has been bought and built. We even got the missing box for the wardrobes so that we could put the doors on. The doors are now on, including one mirror door! YAY! I now have a full length mirror in the bedroom after going without for the last 18 months
OHs Mum also came for a visit, which went really well. Didn't do much as the weather was so rubbish, but OH and his Mum are getting on much better and were even creating the family tree on genesreunited.com together!Hopefully, this will continue.
Am absolutely skint after IKEA and this visit. So, tonight, I am going to gather all the change I have in jars at home (except my Christmas pot) and take it to one of those machines that counts and gives you notes back.
Also waiting on my tax rebate. Hoping it will arrive before the end of this week.
Have a good day all.

Hello folks
Loving the opinions - I like a good politics debate.
I see BBC says they are all still talking...behind each others backs, lol. I am a solid red voter usually, wavered with yellow last week, but plumped red to keep the tories out. I remember being taught in mobile leaky cold classrooms at the height of Thatchers power. Boo.
Anyway, I am actually for a Tory / Lib coalition to come out of this all this though. Don't think it will last long aa they are so far apart on so many things.
Meanwhile, that will allow Labour to change its leaders and get some younger and more electable faces in. I actually admire Gordon Brown (and apparently many other countries commend him on his financial handling) but I see him as a solid number 2 - not a man who is charismatic and connects with the voters. I would go for Milliband and Andy Burnham.
Anyway, that's my tuppence thrown in....my PAD is £7.10 todayDebt Free 25th August 2010 with PAD !!TARGETS ::D
