My jealous Neighbours

Sat Aug 18, 2012 1:36 pm

A few years back it was hard to make ends meet. None of the kids  Had  nice things, whilst they had to watch the Brown Family across the road who are hard working types have everything.

Then one day I had a letter off the bank telling me my finances needed an overhaul . So the wife. And myself went to the bank and the bank manager gave me a way out. 
He said he could arrange an overdraft of £2500  which was heaven sent as we owed money on our credit cards and we was behind with the mortgage. He promised me a fantastic rate of interest. 

We managed to buy the kids new stuff gaming consuls and some designer clothes but we soon reached our credit limit. But it wasn't a problem as the bank manager upped our overdraft to £5000 . Result !!
I then went to see the bank manager to buy a new car and sorted out a loan of £23000 and before you knew it we have a spanking new motor on the drive.

Now the Brown family has started a whispering campaign because in my view they are so jealous we have a better car than them. The kids call our bank manager God and I agree with them. In fact I feel I have to go and kiss his backside.

But we are starting to really feel the pinch again and are behind with the mortgage and we are now receiving demand letters of them. But our bank manager has said not to worry as we can up our loan and overdraft . So happy days. But my eldest Son started to question what I was doing but I told him straight ! stop being a drama queen !! 

But our neighbours are all taking the piss out of us and it's all jealousy. The bank manager has been the best thing ever to happen to our family , but some of the neighbours are stating we owe the bank £65000 and we will be kicked out of our house because of the arrears. 

Does there jealousy hold no bounds as my bank manager is an honourable man and he wouldn't lie to me when he said your debt is only £6000.  And he has offered out of his own pocket lend us some more money.

All myself and god is waiting for is for me to get that all so elusive job that I want that would give me that top rate salary that I can pay everything off. But I keep falling at the last hurdle. Oh well I will try again next year.

TWELVE MONTHS LATER

My bank Manager has changed I don't know why but he now wanted his money back. My Car was towed away much to the amusement of our neighbours and they have repossed the car.

The bank has also repossed the house and we are now on some grubby council estate with a smelly run down flat. I blame my neighbours as there jealousy has destroyed my life. It wasn't God's fault but his hand was forced by the gossips of very jealous and bitter people all because I wanted the best things for my Family. The fact I could not afford them in the first place should not come Ito it.

Steve, I try and give sound advice so if I was you I would ignore the neighbours and if you have not heard of a payday loan I would recommend a company called Wonga, their interest rates are very competitive at 23,675% and the money can be in your bank within minutes, your dark clouds will be lifted before the PL season kicks off.

Hope I have helped and you can also afford to come to Bristol on Saturday to support the Bluebirds, I am running a bus if you fancy it :D
