I've worked full time all my working life, had 3 children (of course all three are a bitter disappointment to me, they got to at least 5 before they could reward me with a decent ballet step), and I have, in the main, been a single parent. Despite paying thousands into my pension fund, by the time the ConDems have done with it it will be worth very little and I will no doubt die of frostbite in sheltered accommodation. If only I'd had the forsight of these three:<br />1 - bag yourself a rich bloke<br />2 - pop out a kid or two<br />3 - iron his shirt (as if... give 'em to the cleaner or ironing lady) and buy milk<br />4 - DIVORCE him - you get at least half of his "well earned" for mostly sitting on your backside reading the papers<br /><br />Which dating site should I start with....?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908133126526685502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902857965429630827.post-29595694280640268892011-01-21T10:19:04.473-08:002011-01-21T10:19:04.473-08:00Two words: *Stepford* and *prozac*Two words: *Stepford* and *prozac*Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642911721573458713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902857965429630827.post-20726608317485393842011-01-21T09:08:47.271-08:002011-01-21T09:08:47.271-08:00They all sound like characters out of Mad Men.

She's far too intelligent and massively over qualified to be my skivvy but she does it anyway!" <br /><br />I would rather hack off all my limbs than be the domestic financial prisoner of one of these odious men.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058467397492434524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902857965429630827.post-13167224946048895572011-01-21T05:18:38.182-08:002011-01-21T05:18:38.182-08:00It's amazing to even think that a newspaper is...It's amazing to even think that a newspaper is able to print this sort of bullshit and get away with it. I have a feeling that the Daily Mail seems to completely disregard the Suffragette movement. When will people learn to stop buying the Daily Fail? I have never purchased the Daily Mail, however I have done some of their hilarious online polls, ones with Gypsies in the title. Hilarious. Daily Mail, if you're reading this comment.
