I was slightly taken aback by your first comment, I could have ignored it or deleted it, but then decided it might be a good opportunity to enlarge on the reasons for my frugality. <br /><br />Most people follow a blog because they can connect with the person writing it, common interests - similar backgrounds, and to learn from similar experiences. It does seem strange to me that someone would post a negative comment having a dig at the blogger. Surely people would pass over and ignore blogs that they had conflicting views with. <br /><br />You may be getting confused with forums, which are there to stimulate healthy debate. I don't mind people having a different point of view, but if I am offended, or a comment is abusive, I will delete it.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-55726567088539770162011-01-14T18:55:46.334+00:002011-01-14T18:55:46.334+00:00I would be happy to respond but sense that my comm...I would be happy to respond but sense that my comments are not welcome.

I know I get a bit of stick occasionally for choosing to spend money on broadband and sitting at my PC wrapped in a shawl and a fleece blanket. My choice because it brings me great pleasure. Hope your new car brings you lots of fun and that you create happy memories, enjoy.Eileen Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058734816956598681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-12152762242909451832011-01-13T16:14:43.391+00:002011-01-13T16:14:43.391+00:00well said, good post, personally I don't think...well said, good post, personally I don't think that you should have to justify to anyone how you spend YOUR money (which is cash and not bumping up a credit card debt!) <br /><br />Josie xJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307151386938476266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-50715836328417435392011-01-13T14:18:48.205+00:002011-01-13T14:18:48.205+00:00Louise, your furniture is lovely, I am glad you go...Louise, your furniture is lovely, I am glad you got exactly what you wanted.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-61054091563856163072011-01-13T13:34:12.200+00:002011-01-13T13:34:12.200+00:00I totally agree with you, i did the same and bough...I totally agree with you, i did the same and bought my car last year in the long run it was more economically viableAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374600534592412579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-25782205504439158102011-01-13T13:21:01.254+00:002011-01-13T13:21:01.254+00:00Very well said, I think it was quite rude to leave...Very well said, I think it was quite rude to leave such a comment when they clearly haven't been following your blog or grasping the concept of how you live! <br /><br />Glad you like my room, like you, I don't spend money in the pub or things like that so I have saved up for all the new furniture I bought and was happy to spend the money on solid furniture as its better quality and will last for a long time!<br /><br />Computer and car are next on my savings list, as my car will only last another 3 - 4 years, it's getting older!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043065727770116407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-47336715997008564662011-01-13T13:00:53.649+00:002011-01-13T13:00:53.649+00:00Do you think they got it this time?
