Fans Worried Over Villa Future

Are you supposed to painting that wall, or replacing tiles in the bathroom Robbo?

[ROBBO]

Avoiding such mundane tasks takes experience and cunning. This is a lesson for you young man, the first time she asks you to do something you hate doing make a complete balls up of it. If it's ironing burn it if it's painting get more on the floor than you do on the wall if she sends you grocery shopping get the most expensive brands you can find. the one major lesson I learned though is never give up a match day, give it up once and she will take that as an invitation to moan and whinge every Saturday. The attractive alternitive is don't get married in the first place.

Today I'm worried about the thought of taking out a big mortgage on a new house... and worried about leaving a 'perm' job to go back to contracting...

[claretandblue barmy]

I'm 37 and have 3 young lads ... we have outgrown our semi and have just bought (sstc) a 4 bed place .. massive garden ... huge conservatory... but.. doubling my mortgage ... i suppose i could extend the loan term but do not want a mortgage in 10 years time...

We did it for same reasons as you Barmy. Our philosophy was we will go without and get by and things will get better.  And they did and if they hadn't, well we could always sell and move down market.

At the time my wife did the worrying for both of us, so I probably shouldn't be on this thread.

yeah the good thing is weve got a hell of a lot of equity in the new place plus with a few improvements we have been advised that we'll instantly turn a decent profit if we choose to sell up.  Had a few quotes tonight and I'm not going to as streched as we first thought...we'll just do without a few luxuries..ie food..clothes... !! :-)

There you go, nothing to worry about as far as the mortgage goes.  Now, about the job...

Ive spent the last 48 hours REALLY worrying about this one.. currently i travel to Derby every day.. nice easy job .. money is fair but i spend 50 quid a week on fuel and at least 13 hours a week sat in the car... Ive been offered a contract working in ASTON ! better money but .. its a contract... possible perm after 12 months...what to do..hmmm

[ROBBO]

That's the trouble with you younger generation you always want more. You want a bigger house, a bigger car, a bigger mortgage, a bigger holiday home, a bigger plasma. Message to Ian B, for a lower blood pressure owe as little money as possible.

Anyway, back at Villa Park...Has JD got lost again? I'm dreading the end of the season. 2months of trying to fill the void with cricket, and then getting excited at playing FC Excelsior, or someone, then the keen build up to the first game. Fecking football season finished. I think we should have a virtual season in the off season to keep us going. Wouldn't expect us to lose many mind.

[ROBBO]

Your wrong thats when the fun begins. Who will we sign, have we paid to much (as though it's our money) there will be rumours and counter rumours, verbal punch ups and of course invigorated worrying as the new season looms. I'm looking forward to it.

I think it will be tumblweed time, but, I'll bow to your superior, vast, experience.
