    the point i was making is we are all entilted to speak our mind and i stand by what i have said what yung said wasnt rude and nasty i didnt say i agreed or not agreed with what yung has said but there was no need for the sarrcy comments from you if it was that bad what yung had said why didnt you just report it and let the board guide people sort it out the fact that it is still on here suggest that it wasnt that bad of thing to say

    I don't want to get into a row with you coz it's not fair on the OP's thread.

    However, I didn't find yungs post rude or offensive. Thats why I didn't report it and probably why it hasn't been removed. I did find it totally unhelpful and not in the spirit of this board. Hence why I pointed it out with a sarcastic as opposed to rude or abusive post.
    why was this post necessary i guess it the way i felt this place has changed when i first come on here people spoke there minds and there was a respect for the honest warm replys what people got now its getting to the point of if your honesty is a bit contraversel you cant be honest and you cant say what you think cause if you do people will pull you up on this

    There needs to be an element of tact involved in replies. When I first joined this site there always was. It seems recently there isn't. There are too many blunt and in my opinion rude replies going on. Hence why Martin found it necessary to post an attention sticky to the top of this board. He never found it necessary to do so prior to all this crappiness! :confused:
    i do think that people on here should be allowed to speak what they feel and if it is really nasty and uncalled for like the board guides deal with it

    Well we're gonna have to agree to disagree here. I respect your opinion but if I was subjected to some of the posts I've read recently (not this thread btw) when I first joined I dare say I wouldn't have bothered coming back. What right do any of us have to make other people feel like that when they are at their most vunerable? And like I said before, this isn't a free speach forum. There are limits and rightly so.
    so i do stand by what i have said and im sure i havent herd the last of this im not looking for an argument i just wanted to speak my mind !

    And I appreciate and respect your opinion as I hope you do mine.

    We all have a common interest. We are all in debt. We also want to help people in the same way we have been helped.

    I just ask all users to remember the following and I say this to myself aswell coz I'm by no means whiter than white.

    And if you haven't already read this please do so and bare it in mind.

    Yung, I hope you don't feel this is a vendetta against you. Your comment wasn't nasty I know, but it's probably tipped the scales of many posts over the last few weeks or so. Please don't feel this about you coz it's not. :beer:

    Earwig this isn't a row with you either. I'd be willing to hear your views but perhaps by PM or an a new thread so we don't ruin the OP's thread anymore than we have done! :o

    Noggin, sorry for hijacking your thread. I hope this minor diversion hasn't put you off posting or looking for the help your courage for posting deserves. :)

    What about poor Noggin's thread/query. Could we think of any more suggestions as he (she?) asked.

    ss's matched betting perhaps or the double money thread?

    its ok earwig at least its sorted. sometimes its hard to tell how a person is trying to put something across when its just in writting on a screen :rotfl:
    weve managed to talk the bank into delaying our mortgage payment from 1st october until 28th october so by then i will have been paid twice (usually get paid once the day before the mort is due but this month ill end up with 2 pays before mort comes out :j ) obviously were chuffed because my wages (approx £490) will now come off the overdraft this month and next month my wages will be for the mort as usual. so were looking like were going to be okay by the next time the mort comes out.

    thanks to everyone for the advice and sorry my thread started ww3 :rotfl:

    thanks ss moozie and lynzpower for your advice aswell, it was a while back in the thread and alot has been said since then so didnt want to let it go without saying thanks :o


    noggin (im a "she" !!!) :rotfl:
  • See what happens when you use your noggin! *boom boom* :rolleyes: :p

    Glad you've got it sorted! :beer:

    But definately post a SOA. We might be able to help you make cutbacks so it doesn't happen again! :)

  • Hello, your sig mentions a caravan, could you perhaps generate some income from it, or perhaps sell it altogether ?

    With compassision, good manners, kindness and dignity as your ticket you will travel far in life.
  • only brought the caravn this summer so really dont want to be thinking of seeling it. renting to family/friends could be an option but the site is closed end oct-end march but its def an option for next smmer though for a bit of extra income. (the site doesnt let you rent it to strangers as they have their own vans to rent...crafty eh?)

    who wants to win the lottery?! me me me :rotfl:
    apparently money doesnt make you happy... (how the hell would i know)
