Sell the house and the business , buy a camper van and park it on the quay at Antibes with a suitcase full of cash and wait for JFM to sell Match 2 :cool:


Er , maybe that's a little bit over the top ,






Forget the camper van .
 
By setting up an interner banking Phishing (spellin) scam ....like some SCROTE has got going on!
Nearly very nearly got caught out this morning with my online Santander logging on......
Long story but if anyone is logging on to their Santander account online and it freezes just before your home page should have opened, phone the online banking team without delay because the SCROTE is in your account already!!
Baastard didn't get away with the large sum he tried to transfer out, but ONLY because I smelled a rat.
:(
 
I'm actually a Nigerian Prince and the sum of eleventy million dollarz was left to me. But I need to have it released from the Democratic Republic of Zoolander. I am offering a 10% commission if you will act as my agent. Just send me your credit card details for verification.
 
Blimey, there's an awful lot of low life on here judging by the poll results
 
Simple, I didn't.
Years ago, I toyed with the idea of my dream boat.
That would have required continuing to "work hard and save" for quite some time, on top of what I already did.
So, I decided that I could rather go for my dream LIFE there and then, also without my dream BOAT, 'cause the one I had was already good enough.
Boats as such are overrated, they are just a mean to an end. :)
 
In my case, pension mis-selling made a big contribution - twenty-odd years ago a private pension provider incorrectly talked me into leaving a good pension scheme, the FSA gave them a good kicking and they bought me back into my company scheme and gave me a bunch of shares as an added apology. At that time, the shares were not worth very much, but subsequently took off like an ICBM and we found ourselves sitting on a nice pile! God bless that pensions salesman! :-)

I had a similar situation when I split with my first wife, she had all our cash and I kept the house and my two beautiful daughters , 6 months after she had gone I sold the house to property developer for twice as much as it was valued at in the split. There is a god !!
