those that were £1.60 are now £1.80
those that were £1.80 are now £2
brekfast sticks have gone up by 30p to £2.50

EVERYTHING has gone up

it's a good thing that i bring sandwiches and drinks from home eh

Same here mate, it's not that the prices have gone up, its just that I'm a tight git!

rabmc

Shiiiiit glad im not the only one then lol


We bough our first house in april a 3 bedroom, quite big tbh big back door we couldnt have been more chuffed as its always been a private area, we always wanted to live here, well for 1st place anyway, but god its hard shift running a house, wanting to decorate etc etc especially coming from home

I put down around 11k and my mortage is 80k for 25 years ,tracker for 2 years so you can sort of work out my mortgage payments

Im hoping if anything after 2 years ive ridden out the storm and it will come down slightly whn i jump mortage company, but in the meantime ive sold my focus rs and bought her a cheaper car because if the "credit crunch"

I work hard too and earn ok money but its a crazy just now man!

Hoping in 5 years time im laughing as everythings sorted its self out and i have my own property

arch

Blimey fella, you bought a 3 bed semi for 91k? Good price mate, but what exactly, apart from the bleeding obvious, do you mean by a "big back door"?

rabmc

Yes mate we were lucky ,very lucky, yes the back doors massive , i could build another house on it lol

seriously around 20 metres long by about say 12 metres wide

I think something may be getting lost in translation, I assume you actually mean the garden not the door itself?

rabmc

gulp!!

Yep yayy the garden! is it a scottish thing lol

Chip

iTrader: (3)

i get you the now

carlo

iTrader: (4)

Think thats a ayrshire thing rab.When your mum sent you out the back door to play
Or get ooot the bac fuckin door n play

arch

Thank god he meant the garden, I was trying to imagine the lintle you would need

Chip

iTrader: (3)

I often play with the "back door" too, but it tends to be more about going in it than out it

ahmen

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Would have been handy though, when I was at Uni I used to push my grasstrack racing motorbike into the living room to service it, with a backdoor that size, you could have done cars too

PMSL

Ginge !

arch i STILL say that kids aint as expesive as people make out

though she was about to kill her fish earlier,,,, walked in her room and shes got the net fishing to she can get him out the tank and stoke him

she said he said he wanted to go for a walk and play with her pmsl

id not say my kid is too much money also based on what i feel inside,,,,, NOTHING i buy for her feels a chore or expensive,, just enjoy spending so maybe thats why

rabmc

alistairolsen

definately her fathers daughter

Ginge !

hey shes 5 years old, she sees a net and seen me taking the fish out to put in another tank a few times,,,, shes a child ffs

Chip

iTrader: (3)

im sure she will progress from short bits of talking bollocks to longer bits as she gets older and learns more from copying her father

Ginge !

chip one thing in my life im NEVER gonna slack on is my little ones education, shes FAR from a stupid child when it comes to education,,, just a little ignorant of the every day things it seems

chip anyone whos met my kid with notice shes above her age when it comes to reading/using a computer ect ect ect

so PLEASE dont make digs about my child,,,, not a subject i ever want to happen, humor about me i dont mind,,, a dig to her,,,, not on IMO

alistairolsen

I was taking the piss fella! Im sure were all aware its perfectly normal behaviour for a 5yo kid, and as such quite amusing :P

Chip

iTrader: (3)

If she is that good, can you run your posts by her first for editing before you whack them up, they might make more sense then

DanCossie

iTrader: (1)

I must admit Ginge Elise is a very clever little girl

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Fingers crossed Ginge stays WELL away from her education then

DanW@FastFord

iTrader: (1)

I start reading Ginge's posts, then always give up halfway through! I'm sure you're a nice fella Ginge, but you don't half chat some shit!

This country's becoming a joke it seems that the people that are just trying to do the right thing and earn a living while the spongers that dont wanna work are reaping the benifits. My girlfriends mum and dad are just in the process of emigrating to Australia next year and the way things are going here im seriously considering going with her next year if im still with her. I think alot more people will be doing the same aswell. I could just get a work visa and see how things go.

Chip

iTrader: (3)

And thats coming from a person's who's profession is editing other people's work and hence is an expert at dealing with such things

Has ANYONE ever actually read a WHOLE ginge post?

Ive never actually properly read anything over 3 lines he has written.

DanW@FastFord

iTrader: (1)

Ginge - don't take this personally, but all you have to do is read through what you've written before you post it. That way people will actually know what you're on about.

The odd typo I can deal with, but it's the lack of punctuation that does it for me. Full stops and commas actually have a use. They're as important as the words themselves.

DanCossie

iTrader: (1)

I bet you read thourgh that to make sure there was no mistakes too didnt you

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Im used to chavvy girls txt speak etc from a previous life as a pervert, so I dont mind the spelling or the punctuation, its just the fact the content is total and utter bollocks, and always conforms to the rules of "why use 1 word when you can use 100 to say less" that puts me off.

dunketh

Not as precisely as the rest of us read through it to try and find an error, I bet.

Ginge !

mate im a person of no education, never understood english and never took my exams but never needed it for ANY of my jobs im lucky to say,,, you being in the profession means you WILL notice it

i also dont speak the queens english and swear too much when i talk,,, what can i say,,,, im comon which is WHY i pride my little ones education

you could always JUST NOT READ IT,,, seriously not bother who doe tbh what anyone on here thinks of me and never will as i aint short of mates at all and if you did know me you might realise im not as bad as people make out on here,,,,,, im just very opinionated and forward with what i say

im no different when people meet me at all , infact if anything im MORE comon

DanCossie

iTrader: (1)

Left in on purpose btw

DanW@FastFord

iTrader: (1)

I don't think you're a bad person, it's just that your posts are very difficult to read.

Ginge !

i GENUINLY cant help that though, some people cant cook, some people cant understand car wiring diagrams

i cant write with proper grammer, it not like i do it to piss people off or look cool

its just me

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Can you write a little less at a time though Ginge?

3 lines of bollocks is a lot easier to read than 300

DanCossie

iTrader: (1)

Its just Ginges way of getting his point across. Has always been the same and always will

Chip

iTrader: (3)

But it doesnt get his point across, cause no one bothers to read it they just think "oh a ginge post" and scroll past in the main Im sure.
