Sell your girlfriend and give the money to your mum for goodness sake!

Well if he's lying he's doing a good job because the money-grabbing mother thing tallies with previous threads.

Another lie no doubt.

She sold her cooker to buy smokes.

this sort of mentality is common amongst chavs.... couple of grand a year on fags, 50 quid a month on the sky subscription but the kids have to get free school dinners and wear second hand school uniform because the parents are poor.

Anyone who smokers while on benefits clearly has disposable income and is only demonstrating that they are being given more money than they actually need to sustain themselves.

if the storys true, the OP takes after his mum

 

[EdGey]

Ok so now you've hit us with the big numbers... what did she really ask for? a fiver?

 

[ElliorR]

I thought you got permabanned earlier today?

Oh hang on that "wasn't you" was it?

To be fair to Jaffa he has mentioned before what a **** his mum comes across, especially when it comes to money.

 

[ilcp]

Jaffa-farfetched.

Full moon, half moon... Total Psycho... no wait.


seriously if your mum needs help, then help her.. even force her to quite her smoking habit or whatever but help her.. God knows she has been there for you. What a materialistic world we live in..

Yeah cause thats easy to do. How do you force someone to quit smoking? Put a gun to her head?

Why would you post this on a public forum ?

Weird

Jesus Christ, if my mother needed money I'd sell everything I'll own.

Including my body.

I have a vaguely similar situation in that my wife's mother is on disability benefit and needs cash from time to time. No problem with that if it wasn't for the fact that she burned through a reasonable inheritance in a couple of years and was forever buying brand new furniture, brand new car replaced after 1 year with another brand new car, new carpets, new TV, new laptop, cruise holiday, cosmetic surgery, rare breed of dog, new-you-name-it-she-got-it. Meanwhile there's lots of luxuries I want but don't buy because I'm saving money for the future.

Then once the money was gone she decided she wanted to move to a new council house somewhere else, I lent her some money to help with this (removal costs, some furnishings etc). A year later she is desperate to move back to the town she was in before, wants financial help again (by this point the repayments had dropped from £100/month to £25/month). I'd made it clear the first time it would be the last time, she had to be sure she wanted to move there. Anyway to cut a long story short, I then become the bad guy because I don't want to throw my money away bearing in mind she'd blown several tens of thousands of pounds in the space of a few years. Wife ended up helping her out a bit anyway by taking out a loan which then meant she started struggling financially so I've had to bail out anyway....

In summation I can sympathise with the OP, there comes a point when asking for help from family moves into taking the **** territory.

 

[sketchytom]

she obviously takes advantage

at least my mum knows if she asks for money i would tell her to **** off so she does not ask
