    Probably. I have lived away from home. Did it for 4 years.

    I do it for the love of the work. Really, I do

    Yep. But she is skint and I'm not.

    Yes she does own her own home. If by owning you mean have an interest only mortgage and an equity that is smaller and rising slower than my cash in bank amount

I'm just glad that it wasn't my handbag that was swiped which contained quite a lot of expensive gadgets, and the bag itself was a Mulberry.
    You're a girl? What the... Why you called Denny?

      If my kids want to stay at home once they start working (or claiming dole!), I'll charge them 50% of their net income.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        You are SB and I claim my 5 pounds sterling - and none of that "Bank of Clydesdale" bollocks either!

          Do you not find it a bit weird/strange though? Not sure I could handle it TBH. Why don't you get yourself a proper 'crib' , complete with a big TV and lots of black furniture.

            Caught the bastard on CCTV though - the brazen git!

                Only £15? You didn't have a very busy morning then, did you?

                Have you thought about a different street corner?

                  There's some working girls in my town that offer a bj for £3. Not bad if you also collect porn starring Jackie Stallone lookalikes.

                  So maybe all those bjs have made her jaw ache, hence her being quieter than usual on here.

                    They don't know what I earn.

                    Yes very wierd - was hard adjusting at first.

                    Its not that bad to be fair. I stay in hotels most of the week and am out of country for a good 2 weeks in the month.

                    I'm really only here at weekends, hence not the massive need for a place.

                    As soon as I can be sure the markets are not going tits up I shall buy a place. Almost bought one last year. Was due to sign on the Friday and contract was cancelled on the Thursday due to budget being cut. Bugger.
