mine was quite firm about not until wednesday too

that was before the car failed the mot this morning



argh i hate paying rent, such a rip off for the shitty
place we live in

​

 

[vix1989]

my rent is due xmas week! GREAT!!
gunna top my meters up £40 each so i dont have to worry about having rads on all day if we want!
will be heaven!

 

[MummyJade]

Rent is a pain in ass! i think every place should be rent free...
I am monthly payments on gas/electric so its okies....

My mum just had to pay out nearly 200 quid on an exhaust for car!
shocking it is to run a car!
x

 

[jenny_wren]

it'll cost us £200 to fix it

plus the price we brought it for
plus tax
plus insurance and deposit
plus mot

ARGH!!!

we've literally thrown our savings at this car
and have nothing to show for it, such a waste
of money so far, oh's fault for trusting his uncle
and paying for it before mot'ing it, stupid git



we don't have heating, only radiator that works is
in emily's room, would be amazing if it was rent free

so far since we moved in we've paid £24,800 on
rent, how stupid is that and we don't even have
heating or double glazing, i hate my landlord

eta: it's actually £25,575

​

 

[vix1989]

awwww thats awful jen!
thats just not right! its a shame you cant afford to move
big hugs!!

well so far my computer has broke, my washers still broken and my cookers breaking down!!
fantastic!!!

 

[danniemum2be]

were quite lucky as OH owns are house and the mortgage is really low, for now, its just our monthly bills that take the piss xx

 

[mumandco]

Omg that's a huge amount jenny!

Our rent is due out on the first £400 and our car tax £130 is due new years eve

 

[vix1989]

with me it could of been worse i was inches away from being homeless!!
We fell behind with our rent due to certain persistant people.
and just couldnt get b ontop of it so we got sent to court to reposses the house.
The woman at the council told us we didnt need to go as if we could come up with agreement thats fine so we didnt plan on going.
BUT adam had this niggling feeling he should be there so he went.

Turns out they werent even planning on coming up with a payment plan they just wanted us out!!
adam had to literally beg them to let us stay they would only let us stay if we agreed to pay £100 a week
that leaves us with £40 (thats for food nappies gas leccy and petrol!)
what a great system we live in!!
they said if we were being chucked out we would of had to be out by 15th DEC ,nice!!!

 

[jenny_wren]

landlords are a pile of shitheads



i'm going to start giving my mum £200
a month next year, will mean not paying
a few bills but tbh i'd rather move and sort
the debts out afterwards, we're in debt now
so i'd rather be in debt and in a nice house



i'm determined to be out of this place by
the end of september!

i know if we'd have put that money away rather
than paying rent we could have a house deposit
by now but we couldn't stay at his mums with emily
so we had no choice, sucks donkey dick



i need to move up north or to wales, we could live in a
5 bed mansion for the amount we're paying for this
2 bed flat but oh wont move ​

 

[vix1989]

here in hull you can easy get a 2 bed for £350 a month

 

[danniemum2be]

we almost lost our house and would have if it werent for OH going out and working flat out for 7 days barely seeing him and not paying any bills so he could pay back half of what we owed the day we were due in court. getting back ontop of it now thank god, but it can easily spiral out of control.

need to move to america, their housing is sooo much cheaper. england is crap for housing costs xx

 

[jenny_wren]

here in hull you can easy get a 2 bed for £350 a month

[jenny_wren]

need to move to america, their housing is sooo much cheaper. england is crap for housing costs xx

​

 

[vix1989]

[jenny_wren]

that house looks amazing!

even the deposit's cheap compared
to down here ​

 

[danniemum2be]

omg jenny!!

weve got a 3 bedroom new build semi detached with 2 toilets and a mortgage for 290 a month! id want a guge house for what your paying xx

 

[danniemum2be]

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/property-35457851.html

youd get this by me for the same amount your paying xx

 

[danniemum2be]

this is at the bottom of my road so pretty uch the same as my house x

 

[jenny_wren]

i love that house too



for my 775 we get

2 double bedrooms
1 tiny bathroom
average kitchen
average living room
a couple of cupboards
and a hallway

all on a top floor flat with no lift

and shitty broken wooden windows
peeling tiles in the bathroom
a shoddy boiler
no heating
and an extremely annoying woman
living under us

if we were able to get a mortgage we'd pay
about £500 a month roughly, but no one will
give us one so no point in trying again ​
