Really annoys me, ive worked hard all my life and can't afford to splash out like that. Got 3 grandkids who all wanted bikes for xmas. Found 1 for £70 and 1 for £80 but that took all we had saved up, so third has had to do without until we can afford to buy him one. Wouldn't even think of borrowing money I couldn't pay back.

And that's how most of us were bought up to live within our means,but there seems to be a part of society that think they don't have to do that,and then wounder why they are in such money difficulties.

The woman is stupid and should be punished in some way that will not involve the children having said that I have nothing against payday loan companies the interest that they charge is fine as long as you do what it says on the box and pay the money back on time.

 

Where I do blame the companies and do not feel sorry for them if people do not or cannot pay them back its there own fault why would they think that just because someone says that they have a job and can pay it back they are telling the truth they should check up on people.

 

If someone came up to you in the street and asked to borrow £5 with the promise that they would give it back to you in a weeks time if it was a friend then you would probably say yes but if you did not no them you would be a fool to just trust them and think that you would get it back.

No sympathy for her or her predicament at all,Lots of people want everything 'today' even when they can't afford it.We had only the children and the lifestyle we could afford.

Both have grown up well adjusted and with the same mentality as us. Could not be said for a lot of the current generation and their offspring,

I could not and would not live beyond my means and by means I mean 'money' I had worked for not benefits.

If she has £70 of her benefits left over after paying her bills she is in a better position than I was when our kids were young and I was working full time.

She was BUYING the affection of her children and now will struggle to pay it back.

 

Personally I see the loan companies as irresponsible in lending her the money and she was irresponsible in borrowing it with little or no chance of repaying it.

 

They deserve each other!

 

 

It is still perfectly legal to be STUPID!

Is this just a wind-up? How did the Mail hear about this? Was it from her? Did she take out the loans and then inform the paper who sent someone round to interview her and take photographs on Christmas day? Or did the paper take round a few 'bogus' parcels for posing with? They all look very happy for a family who are facing repossession of their belongings! Something doesn't add up.

For someone who claims to be 'worried' she certainly doesn't look it. I have often in the past laid awake at night wondering where my next mortgage payment is going to come from. I often think we would be better off on benefits; I know the kids would be; presently neither of them has their own TV.

Sorry, but this sort of thing really ****** me off, I run my own business, historically I have worked 25 hours a day a 8 days a week, bank holidays as well...and I can't afford £1700 on Christmas presents...........

 

....and I am paying for her benefits!

 

not like you to exaggerate still its nice of you to help her out on your own.just the stuff to get mail readers steaming from the ears,and shock horror two kids from two different fathers (how many on here been married more than once then?) the guilty parties are the loan companies they lend to those they know cant pay it back so tough let them squeal for their money they are little more than parasitic robbers.
