Sorry guys I really need to vent!!!! :eek:
I'm just off the phone to my sister (I love her dearly) but she has just announced how skint she is.
This week they're having a conservatory put up (5K) and in September they are all off to Australia (family of 4 for 4 weeks £7K) They live in a big plush house with 2 BMW's in the driveway.
I on the other hand have just posted all my stuff off to CCCS and SHE thinks she's skint!
How come we come from the same family and I've messed and she hasn't?
Help (feel crappy)

I know and my Mum is the same - she'd never ever buy anything unless she had the cash. What happened to me? Maybe I'm rebelling or something like that, but at 36 I hardly think so
