Fortunately I was sitting on the bed or I'd have thumbed the table hard enough to break something.

Honestly what is the fucking point.

Thumped,

I guess DD1 worked her socks of to get an A* in her science exams, just so she can afford nice underwear and high heels Angry

Very cheap and nasty, but DD1 had some kids stuff years ago and there is no escape from the mailing list.

Trouble is as a SAHM I do feel, a bit, I'd have to ask to make a decent donation to a women's charity, but I never ask to buy clothes.

I was on the mailing list for a few years having bought something once, it seems to have stopped now. It was a bizarre mixture of frumpy tops and crotchless underwear.

Although I accept that my last post also misses the point. Who says we don't need feminism anymore?

Yes it's totally bizarre, as I get Emails because it had not pink, not mini prostitute age 10-12 girls clothes. but the underwear is very dodgy.

Now a campaign for decent preteen clothes is a rant for another thread.

It's just popped up on the sidebar of my Yahoo mail too, big brother really is watching us (either that or it's been there all the time and I've never noticed it)

But ladies, you miss the point!

It's not a myth!
Courts can be chic and comfortable!!!

Dear god and the little fishes is one of the underwear models wearing a tiara to her bed????? Takes the princes shit to a whole new level. (And presumably is a bit sore.)

No big brother really is watching us, I get stuff in my side bars that I know is because Google spies on the links you follow.

Drove me mad because it always seems to be either something daft of here or something you have bought and don't need again.
