Are you struggling with money, itchyextremist?


If you are, all I can say is 'what goes around, comes around'. :T

No, not at all. No debt, no money problems, full-time well paid job. Life is grand.

Maybe because if your daughter usually works Fridays her employer will have paid her for today .....likewise the nursery will have to pay their staff for the bank holiday too - but yes you need to start a new thread

Let's turn this same argument back on the op

why buy stuff if you can't afford it

Seems you saddled an ex with debt by living beyond your means.

Surely you should only buy stuff if you have the cash to do so.

It annoys me to see !!!!less people like the op spending their money on crap and dodging their responsibilities and then claiming they have no money when surely they should have got better jobs and saved money before buying anything. It is dreadful that after 6 years of dodging payments people can walk away from their payments and the rest of us have to pay for it

Or did your circumstances change like many people who have children and then have to have help later on as things have changed - or did you set out to get into debt and thought blow the consequences?

Then I suggest you appreciate how well off you are (or so you say) and stop letting things that don't directly affect you irritate you.

Then why do you want a programme telling you how to save money on your shopping if you have plenty of money?

The reason a lot of people struggle financially for a couple of years with kids is that you go from having two good incomes down to one or you still have two good incomes but also have a £1300 a month nursery bill to pay
