    First woman. Mortgage started at £816, now it's 9.95% and it's £1486.
    "Leaving the family just £700 for everything else".

    Well, that's quite a lot I'm sure many here will agree!

    Anybody going to email them with a link to the site? :confused:;)

    Now we have a family that have no room for a cot ... because their flat is filled with clutter and junk! x
    Gone ... or have I?

    I couldn't believe the amount of useless tat they'd got there. There was nothing wrong with the size of the flat ... it was their tat.

    Exactly what I was going to say! They should stick some of their stuff on ebay - might make a few quid...

    I agree. All that was highlighted to me was that some people cannot manage their finances.

    Crimewatch is on now, always good to see who I can spot ... :eek:

    I am watching crime watch too. OH actually watches it (he is a police officer) so he can keep a look out! Half the world's population of criminals seem to turn up on his patch.

    Which is why we most certainly aren't buying a house where he works!

    These programs are usually a load of rubbish. They make bulls and bears alike look like baffoons. I didnt watch it by the way.

    Grand Designs for me (More4). Clueless bloke buys Ancient Monument ... without doing his homework and with no idea of the implications and costs involved (e.g. paying for an archaeological survey)
