    And have you seen that that model is claiming to be 24 on her website! I have friends in their 40s who look younger than her!

    I think they were refering to her IQ

    That's pretty much what my DH said. He said if she's a glamour model no wonder she's in debt, she's not doubt had to pay someone to take her pictures - mieow!

    We too wondered how those people could have gone from £27k to over £140k without any explanation, that would have made better viewing as far as we were concerned.

    i thought this program was rubbish. there was no real content at all, no new stories, no new facts or figures. It could have been a repeat from 2005, no one would know!

    and why was that woman a model? she had a perfectly round head and looked like the singer from erasure.

    Behave yourself , it surley comes under general wellbeing and hygiene

    still if you think like that i wonder what you think of shower gel and face wash....luxury:rolleyes:
    Funnily enough, I do :D No I really do, you need a bar of soap and shampoo if you use it, thats it! none of this fancy plastic bottled liquid soap thats all the same anyway and then you just end up throwing the empty plastic bottle in the bin, which in most cases means its landfilled.

    The "glamour model" (& I use that term VERY loosely) had a face like a smacked ar*e, if that's what botox does to you then no thanks. The phrase minger springs to mind (like her face...it probably 'springs' into her mind too). To laugh at her own debt of £41,000 just shows her lack of intelligence.

    My general view on the program was that it's simply a lack of education, people just have no idea on how to manage money & can't fathom simple finances & that a shame. I agree with the comment that it's a greedy have it now culture.

    If I had a mortgage 17 years ago for 20k I would have been over the moon. The point the programme missed was HOW it occurred to the Bouncer family, had that been mentioned it would have been far better to understand the reasoning behind the eviction.
  • Its not just houses being reposessed. Yesterday we went to a car auction we were amazed at the amount of repos there were!

    I felt so so sorry for the family that had their house repossessed. It must be so awful to be in that situation.
