    No I'm sure it doesn't offend anyone N6. I'm just so pleased that we all discuss the issue in a mature way without resorting to some of the stuff you see on other threads. Sharing experiences and debating is good:)

    Well said TM and I agree with a lot of what you said N6, i think different people see being poor differently, to me if you kids are fed, warm and clothed your not doing to badly so what if you cant afford an expensive joint or to take your kids on holidays, I had a good upbring. oh really had a tough one, they went without food, and when he started working for my dad he never had a lunch box as they had no food in the house, (i think he feel for my home made cakes;)) luckily with his wages things improved for the family but all his money was put into them but at least there was enough for everyone.
    We struggled when our kids where little, I remember hiding form the rent man, and dd1 talking to him through the letterbox:o:o:p
    the kids never had holidays but we had the beach, countryside and mountains so the kids remember their childhood with fondness, and crazy meal concoctions as it was all in the cupboard, stitching clothes, gluing shoes and all that other stuff you do to make ends meet. but i would not change a thing.it made my kids the people they are today.

    Had a quick skim read and those telly's where you put money in them are still available as my ex BIL has a TV shop and he still rents them out to a deprived area, then when they are short of cash they ring up for them to be emptied as they get so much back

    Tend to agree...she seems to be angry at Jamie O for not being able to afford a £20 joint....she doesn't know shes born!

    People expect too much nowadays and want everything on a plate!

    My child hood was pretty much as she described and my Dad worked, we made do with what we had and I remember washing my hair with washing up liquid too!:eek:

    Bring on frugal Feb!!;):D

    Seems like lots of us did without but survived it :rotfl:

    Wonders if our children will be posting on a forum in years to come "Can you believe I had to wait till I was 16 to have a 50" 3d 4k tv in my room that's how poor we were :eek:"

    I'm soooo the same!! This has actually had me laughing at the fact I'm not the only one.
