    What?

    Are you in care?

    I do provide homes for the homeless .... just because the Council pays me doesn't mean I am any less generous!

    Think about it, for one moment lift your thought processes, the homeless ARE getting them for FREE!! My houses, provided FREE to the homeless!!

    To be frank, you thinking I am worthless matters not one jot to me ... I see your sort everyday flipping my burgers for me.

    So you rent a house to people who are funded by the council, who get that funding from taxes? So technically you're paying your own mortgage. :rotfl:

    The BEST part of it all is that YOU are buying my house for me ....... I smiled when I wrote that - sweet.

    Some are winners - others just talk about it ....

    and you sure do talk about it a lot........

    answer me this, if you are such a winner, why do you spend half you're day on this website??

    surely, someone with the money and lifestyle you claim to have has much better things to do....?

    i think we all know that you are are actually a lonely divorcee with no friends and no social life who inhabits a fantasy world.

    Keep telling yourself that as you look round your bedsit with pictures cut from holiday brochures on the walls.

    Oh what might have been if MrRee had managed to get a good job.

    Just wondering, do you actually like cup-a-soup or is it all you can afford?

    Fair question .....

    If you had seen me 30 years ago while I was making my money you would have seen that I couldn't have spared a moment .... unlike you, it seems.

    Now, these days, money just arrives in my Bank Account - I need to fill my spare few hours with entertainment, and you give me plenty.

    Yes I had heard that the government could pay benefits direct these days. Glad to see you have taken advantage.

    Has Meals on Wheels been round with lunch today? Just wondering, do you get a choice of meal or is it a set menu? what was todays lunch?
