Lol. You've got issues and thankfully you're in a minority. A minority of gap toothed mostly men with beer bellies and the love of the far right emblazoned over their fat sweaty faces.

Sorry just realised you probably meant to reply to a pp.

I don't have kids, but this increase definitely seems worth my while to either nick one, or pretend I have one. What riches!

mediumdicketh · 07/03/2025 20:45

That is true. Try 3pounds a week that just covers nappies your child must eat dust idiot men and idiot women.

3 kids...4 including my husband. I will save the 4x 45p a week and buy them a gob-stopper each at the end of the month. That will be my me time, where nobody asks me Where's Dad,.

FreddieMercurysCat · 07/03/2025 18:55

Looks like I can splash out on a new tattoo with my 45p! Cracking :)

One banana 🍌

Tesco’s 27p each
Waitrose 15p each your clearly shopping in the wrong supermarket 😂

45p a week. 🙄

My ds is in full eating-everything-in-sight mode. He's 6' tall. Size 11 feet.

I guess his extra 45p will pay for an extra quarter of a loaf of a bread.

Pippinsdiary · 07/03/2025 18:33

Oh, please stop being so ungrateful it’s better than nothing…. I can’t wait for April now so I can relax and stop worrying about money 🤑🥴
