    I'm still holding out for a hapless b4st4rd even now.

    Have you thought of sending a flirty, private message to Brit?

    The Carly in the article sounds a dream:
    - bought a house for £116,000 nearly seven years ago
    - we showed our partnership with a joint mortgage
    - we had a child
    - value .. jumped .. remortgaged ..£170,000.
    - our relationship came to an end
    - Carly found a new partner with whom she has had a baby

    It seems that having another child is with as much thought as new cushion covers.

    I had an orange one that turned blue when you put your hands all over it.

    I don't recall putting my hands any such place!

    Unfortunately she seems to be one of these women who thinks that having a child with a guy will make them stick around.........
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    Er, that or she genuinely likes the guy?

    I don't think many women have babies in order to keep their partner.

    Sadly, I know a couple of women who think just that. :( In fact, one of them tells me she's surprised my DH is still around (because I'm childless and sick).
