    The bedroom in the first photo looks like it's straight out of an '80's sitcom, a stylistic cliche.

    Nice house generally though, specially the dogs.

    I know Twink's looking a bit rough of late but that's a tad harsh! :pac:

    Ah, the poor woman!

    As if she hasn't enough to worry about, what with nearly winding up homeless and everything!

    Fair play to Twink. A tough old bird who has worked hard for everything in her life.

    I'm glad she didn't lose her magnificent home.

    and an outstanding balance of 250,000. those numbers make no sense. unless she is only paying the interest.

    If Stringfellow & Robbie Savage had a love nest, I reckon it'd look a lot like that.

    its a f*cking sham, thats what it is. she should have been forced to sell her house and downsize to one she can afford, clear her debts and live like the rest of the people who ran into difficulties have done.

    Her daughter sings with the Celtic Woman group. Wouldn't be my cup of tea music-wise but they are good singers.

    she has paid the outstanding monies and gets to keep her house. is that not the way it should work?

    So she couldn't pay the mortgage for years, but 18 grand suddenly lands in her lap? And now goes on a tiny mortgage payment which in no way covers what she owes - I suspect that, effectively, the taxpayer will eventually cover most of what she owes. And that's on top of apparently pretending to put the house up for sale to try and pull a fast one on the court. You'll forgive my lack of sympathy...

    Her little game of brinkmanship failed. Now she finds the dosh. Tried her luck for a write down the old boot.

    on what basis will the taxpayer ever cover what she owes? she has a house that is worth considerably more than the mortgage amount.

    she has a personality that doesn't really engender sympathy.

    Heaven forbid she might downsize house and avoid being dragged through the courts for money like a normal pleb.

    Must be interest only. So she'll probably have to sell when the loan is finished.

    Must make people renting in 1 bedroom flats costing 6 times that mad.
