Spoiler: THIS IS NOT TRUE. THIS IS IRONIC.

You'll have to excuse me if there are any typing errors in this post, but you see, darlings, I can barely lift my fingers for the weighty diamond rings they're encrusted with. Come to think of it, I've got a sore neck, too. Must be the several tonnes of pearl ropes dragging me down. This platinum keyboard isn't much cop, either. Not very tactile.

This was, deliberately, an entirely over-the-top and not to be taken seriously post, hence the 'this is not true, this is ironic' strapline. At no point did I mention your names or even give hints as to what prompted the post (as you can see by the comments of people asking what was going on). Nor have I since told people what prompted it or mentioned your names. To anyone (online or otherwise). I did, however, feel justified in wanting to blow off a little steam in my own journal, seeing as you used yours to 'tell everyone' that 'obviously' we had money, as we were always writing about it in our journals. This is not at all the case, as you would know from reading those very same posts with us worrying about not being able to pay bills or talking about how many months it has been since we've bee able to afford to see our friends or family. I fail to see how you link what you both admit to us "contemplating" doing things with money in the future (and as for holidays or mortgages, they are going to be way in the future. As in several years) with us actually having money. You keep on mentioning that we both have jobs. I have a very badly paid job, yes. DT has a job, yes... but he HASN'T STARTED IT. Therefore no wage. He still doesn't know when he'll be able to start it, what with the hassle over having to get a passport adding to them already not knowing when they'll be ready for him to start. This has been going on since we first moved in. The only reason we were able to move in at all is because I have been saving (literally) every single penny so we could afford the first month's rent and the deposit. Neither of us have ever made a secret about how much we're having to scrimp and save. Therefore, I hope you can imagine how upsetting it was, for me especially, to see you writing about how we obviously had money to throw around. I cannot afford new shoes to stop me crying in pain at the end of every day. So, yes, it suck in my throat to read that. I got annoyed and blew off steam.

You seem, also, to be holding up the money issue as the only possible reason why DT hasn't called Martyn. Has it not occurred to you that there is rather more than simply being able to afford to call? I admit it has been a contributing factor, because DT cannot often afford to even call me back or send me a message when I'm at work, as he very rarely has credit; but that is not the overriding factor. Telling someone they are not worthy to be a brother, that they are immature and certainly not fit to be an uncle, along with many other personal digs all over livejournal (including ultimatums), is not exactly conducive to that person picking up the phone . Martyn has said that he was being childish because he felt like responding in kind to what he felt were childish remarks. Whichever side you stand on, you have to see that it's not the best way to go about resolving the issue.
