Absolutely agree... I've not always been skint since having kids though. Hard graft eventually paid off. The eldest I bought her a nice second hand car as a reward for graduating to uni. She had a good education, something I never had.Going to the park and running with my kids playing tig and other daft games that made them laugh are among the most treasured memories I have
Not so much skint but right now I have an ex footballer, famous and quite wealthy one as well I would imagine, being an absolute c##t, owes me nearly £4K, keeps on saying “yeah, il put it in bank later”, never does and hard to get hold of, finished the job before Xmas as well so by the time I’d payed the lads and for all materials, left me potless over Xmas, really getting stressed over it now, but still have roof over our heads so would hate to be truely skint

And ofcourse let him know that you'll also tell everyone, including his employers via public posts on twitter, Facebook and InstagramIf he's that famous a threat of/and court action my sharpen his senses.
Don't text, too easy to hide behind a text. Phone the twat up, tell you're chasing the outstanding invoice and ask when you can expect payment. Take the high ground.I've found the best way to get celebs/footballers to pay, is to use reverse psychology.
Text them saying that they haven't paid you yet.
Then ask if they are having difficulty paying. And if so, be honest and you will give them more time to pay.
Reassure them that you won't speak a word to other people about their financial dire straits.
Trust me, it works every single time.
They get annoyed at the suggestion they cannot afford to pay you. Yet the only way they can prove you wrong is to pay you!
Luxury...we lived on a lake.....
did you lick the motorway clean?Paradise!
Over 100 of us lived in a shoe box in't middle of motorway.
reminds me of eating porridge (made with water) for a week onceI remember when I was a teenager, about a year after I first got my own flat, I had to take shrapnel (1ps, 2ps and 5p coins) to the supermarket, to buy a Tesco Value loaf of bread and tins of beans to eat for the rest of the week.
That seemed to happen a lot at the time the week before I got paid.
Seems a world away now.
