    No idea... it was only mine half the year. It's done me no good though - can't use that money to buy food or heating.

    Mine made a decent whack but showing off is vulgar, un-British and would mark me out as incredibly shallow given so many in the world have such tough lives.


    An ex soap star moved to our village about a year ago, she invited everyone round to gawp at her palace at the weekend. Quite a few of us didn't give her the pleasure. Shallow, materialist old witch. There's a few narcissists like this in the village and little do they know we all cant stand them and often the quiet ones are a lot richer anyway but don't suffer insecurity and thus no need to broadcast their wealth.


    Happy Xmas.

    I'm going to throw caution to the wind Conrad and be terribly un-British. I was unsure whether to tick the 0-5k or the 5k - 10k box:rotfl:.

    One of the joys :cool: of being ooop North in my town, is that prices are distinctly unvolatile.

    Happy Xmas.

    Thanks you for your thinly veiled, "I live in a posh village and made a bucketful"

    I applaud your success, well done!

    My mate lives near a few ex soap stars and one of trinny and susanna, I can't remember which one. They live in grantham, the opposite of posh!

    There is no option for a negative figure....

    My house cost me money (interest on outstanding mortgage, maintenance, insurance) and although it did increase in value a little bit it didn't make me anything.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
