    Evening all. Just in from work (11hrs today) and have got work I should do tonight :(

    Just made superfast dinner from freezer and cupboards - using up opened sauce etc, rather than getting microwave supermarket food - go me :T

    Having 30 mins break then will take work and laptop to bed.

    Yes, someone worked out that a slapper with seven kids by seven men could get £700 a month on top of benefits if each one just paid £100 a month.

    I like to go on there and throw bricks at their ivory towers...
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Yep but I think that person would need £700 a month for their sanity :rotfl:

    Right - bedtime for me I think....comes to something when you go to bed before your kids. (well DD2 is in bed reading) DD1 is doing some research into JLS tickets....I said I'd take them both as part of their Christmas present if she could come up with an attractive deal including transport/tickets/accomodation....I make her work for her perks......I'm expecting a power point presentation tomorrow evening with a full breakdown of costs....I can kid myself that it's semi-educational.

    Night all.
