Was life financially hard for your family or were you comfortably off?
I was never aware until I was an adult how financially difficult my childhood had been. Quite often, my parents didn’t eat dinner with us, and it took me being a parent to realise that’s because they didn’t have any.
Oh my bleeping life!
Obviously because they were saving up their hard earned for an Omega watch for her to sell

I would have been buzzing having a 2 bed at 24 honestly 🤪 Let alone Denby crockery and a fancy watch.

These blog archives are literally screaming how much of a bootstrapping, too posh for the welfare safety net lil smol Tory she is.
Me too! It's my dream to be able to have a place to myself, no matter how small or tit it is!

Forgot to quote the relevant article, but friends at 24 who are wealthy enough to lend you money towards a rental deposit? Just say your parents paid it to keep you out of their worst nightmare - council housing!

Why does she feel the need to justify “only” having a 2 bed at 24? Her upbringing / value system is very..... Tory
She's a bleeping idiot a council house would have been the best thing to have happened to her. Decent rent, option to buy it later on or save for a deposit to buy something better. I know council housing gets a bad rap, sometimes deservedly so but there is still some half decent stock left. It would certainly have been better than moving 5437927 times or whatever were on now.
