It's remarkable how they can dry poor and still afford the huge television and all the gizmos that go with it. <BR/><BR/>The big cars and dogs also are amazing. <BR/><BR/>Why can't I afford a big dog or a fancy car?Nilkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872495050796257177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27584252.post-65596491912579440862009-01-09T21:11:00.000+11:002009-01-09T21:11:00.000+11:00Glad I don't live there.

They aren't cheap, they take time (I suppose if you're on welfare you've got plenty of time), and there's a bit of maintenance every so often which costs, too.<BR/><BR/>If you weren't spending a fortune on nails and God knows what else, perhaps you could afford to pay your bills?<BR/><BR/>I know that the luxury of a harcut and colour end for me when money gets a bit tight. Not to mention waxing and colouring eyebrows and lashes.<BR/><BR/>I know people who are skint and will still spend money on frivolous things, and not once to cheer them up, but every other week.<BR/><BR/>My sympathy is in short supply for Missus Nail Art, too.kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819693069445947851noreply@blogger.com
