I know. The lease is in both our names. Half the money comes from my account and half from his. The letting agent know that I've never been so much as late with my rent, but he gibbered some pish about being really sorry but technically they should be charging me for all of the rent and I'm lucky their giving me a month to find a new home.

I fully admit that I'm a sucker for someone having a nervous breakdown. I've been there myself.

I don't know legally where you stand but I'd seriously be getting onto the CAB. I'd also kill the fricking flatmate, but £650 is a ridiculous amount of money to lose

He's been trying to play that game with me, but forgets that I actually know he's fucking lying and he hasn't gone mental, or tried to do himself in or anything. He's just a lazy cunt that couldn't be arsed getting another job after he got fired and now he's ran back to his minted mummy and daddy and told them a pack of lies about me so he doesn't have to deal with me. And this guy was my best friend for nearlyu 8 years and we've lived together for 6 years.

Fucking wanker.

Get him to fuck, you need and deserve better friends. Its almost worth all the hassle just to learn that lesson.

Aye, especially when you add it to the £750 in council tax I gave him that he alledgedly paid and now it turns out he didn't and the coucil tax folk are after me for £1,500 despite the fact that I've paid my share.

I know that, but I don't think the hassle of being forced out my home is worth learning how much of a dick gary is...I could have guessed.

Now you know. I'm shite at falling out with people, and will take a fucking shedload of abuse before I'll even complain. Its one of my less admirable qualities.

Try giving away 70 grand, its one of the most empowering feelings its possible to have in relation to living in a capitalist society.

I couldn't, and to be honest I wouldn't feel empowered. I feel sickened when I lose a tenner so 70k would probably be enough to kill me.

MarkMono · 29th March 2007, 5:37pm

Its only money. The three scariest words in the English language to some people.

Vonnie · 29th March 2007, 5:40pm

I don't disagree with you but when I think what I could do for my kids with 70k, giving it away just isn't an option.

MarkMono · 29th March 2007, 5:43pm

Do you think you'd feel any differently if you didn't have dependents? I think you do disagree with me, but thats alright.

Vive la difference and all that.

definitely scary to me - I left £30 in the bank machine once and almost cried when I got it back. I think giving away that amount of cash for someone who has no dependants or is wealthy anyway could be quite empowering though.

Sadly I need money to clothe feed and house my children.

Regarding the no dependants bit which I missed when posting there, I still couldn't give away £70K as we basically don't have that kind of money but if I didn't have the boys i'd be working fulltime and would certainly find things like giving to charity a lot easier.

I'm not sure. I think it would depend on my own circumstances at the time, what the money was going to be used for and a lot of other factors like whether I had debts, whether I'd have a little bit of money for my own purposes. For me that 70k represents the security bond to move to Canada, but if I didn't have the kids I wouldn't need that amount.

I genuinely don't know. Also when I said I didn't disagree with you I meant I didn't disagree that it would/could be empowering and that money isn't the be all and end all.

MarkMono · 29th March 2007, 5:53pm

Ah, right you are.

One reason why I wouldn't raise children in this country, I like my ethical freedom too much.
