Sorry guys, but this one was not serious. I got such a pasting on the other thread I thought I would run this one. It was discussed hypothetically betwen some friends of ours recently.


I have only two children - both girls, and to be honest it would be both or none as most people suggested, if I wanted to spend my money that way, which I prob wouldn't.


Rosie made me laugh. And yes my wife says I'm sexist too.


Made for a good thread though - lots of responses in a short time.

send the best looking girl, she can then get married to someone with money quick, then pay for a top education for the children of her siblings and then also pay for her siblings to leave work and study, OU or something, in later life. Plus the Parents of her rich husband may be a right fruity pair of swingers then you and your hub could find yourself in some big stately home in years to come dressed as victorian parlour slaves havin a right bubble !


christ its so simple, i wonder why i bother !

Send all three kids to the local state school and, if you have any spare cash, add some additional learning where or if needed...

music, languages, extra help if not doing well in a specific subject, etc...

In 1 out 5 households (within a male and female relationship) the woman is now the main breadwinner and 1 in 5 men are now the primary carer of children within families in the UK.

Mick,


Completely agree with previous posters as being all or nothing. You will create such issues between your children and besides, it's nice to have them all at the same school. Agree with charliecharlie that you can then splurge on extracurricular activities like music, dance, drama, football and also buy that baby grand piano so they can practice and/or build a football pitch in garden for your son.


Hope this isn't a wind-up?! :)


Best,

-C

Often worth reading the thread, C.

      Pride in place

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Looking at the areas which will be receiving funds, there seems to be a couple of pretty fundamental flaws with the scheme. In many of these areas, spend isn't migrating from high streets to online, there simply isn't any disposable income to migrate. No amount of tarting a place up is going to change the fact that these places are the poorest and most deprived in country - people simply have nothing to spend. Secondly, a lot of these areas no longer have an extant retail infrastructure to improve upon - it went donkey's years ago, along with the pubs. My childhood high street is getting a grant. Maybe they'll liven up Market Street by celebrating our notable locals - they could commission a Ricky Hatton mural, a statue of The Moors Murderers or a 'Walk of Shame' pavement for Harold Shipman's victims (it's quite a long street). But, whatever it is, I doubt it's going to show a decent return when the only businesses still trading are 'Bargain Booze' outlets, Bangladeshi takeaways, bookies and barbers.

      Can anyone recommend the best place to watch this for free? Limited views from West Dulwich.  Maybe Dawson Heights area got a good view?

      Yeah, who doesn’t pine for their youth? But it doesn’t alter the fact that in that in the post war period, chopping and changing as we were between Labour and Tory governments, there was still a collective consensus that the country and society was going inevitably forward to something better. Until that cow faced bitch and her minions came in to power in ‘79 and we have been living with the consequences ever since. “There is no such thing as society, there is only individuals and families”

      Dungeons and dragons kids group?

      By BreadandJamforFrances · Posted

      Hi, my son is nine and wants to get into playing dungeons and dragons. Does anyone know of a children’s group playing nearby? Neither me or my husband ever played so we’re at a loss as to how to help!
