to think that feminism should have thought about the consequences and set some rules.

[TulisaLover]

I've been chatting with DP this evening and mentioned a post that's been doing the rounds on facebook. It's from a lady sending a message to This Morning about the cost of childcare - on the surface it's a powerful post.

To cut it down:

'I am looking to return to work next year and child care will cost 810 every 4wks - this is more than our mortage!!. The government should help with child care costs.'

DP and I agree with it's sentiment - that child care costs are crippling families, but not necessarily with helping for the costs - he said:

"This is why feminism should have laid down some rules. Both parents earning an income meant banks salivated and started lending for homes based on both. This has forced up prices to cover this as house prices are a function of the amount being lent. Society as a whole loses, bankers win. What should have happened is when you have kids, both parents should be encouraged to work part time so that childcare is shared - or failing that the higher earner whichever gender should have been the one to work. Problems like this wouldn't have happened."

It struck a chord with me - what do you ladies think?

Top three? Is there such a thing?

big 3.magic circle
you're an inspiration
let's talk fees and cpd.what's your specialism?

No he's still an idiot. Even a stopped click is right twice a day.

I work mainly pro-bono. Did you every watch the OC? I'm a female Sandy Cohen.

I would consider mentoring others - they would benefit immensely from my tutelage.

Magic circle is more than 3. No one agrees about the order. Top three sounds made up odd.

He's a mover/shaker. He makes things happen. He's always got an iron in the fire.

Ok I own a very successful business (honest it is actually true) and a recent event for the local business owners (see we even have our own club :) that must prove it) we all had a laugh and joke about several phrases and the OP has used most of them.

The only one she missed is 'I am on a break from businesses at the moment, but a few things on the horizon'

The real business people, that I know, laugh at someone who describes themselves as 'movers and shakers'

but maybe this refines the order,shuve off clifford chance.tulisais here

So freshfields then.

Inflation is almost unavoidable in a healthy economy. Saving is important but if money is hoarded the economy dies. This is a big part of the current economy - companies are sitting on enormous cash piles because there is no confidence. A strong economy needs people and companies to have confidence to take chances.

Re my law firm, you might be able to find the conexion mas tarde.

I can just imagine Allen and Overy making someone partner who mostly worked pro bono. It makes so much sense.

pro-Bono in magic circle.no idont think so.not newly promoted partner
where did they hold your party, you know the meet,greet,and wine
a partner is a money maker,not a bleeding heart pro bono

Well, I'm not spending a penny until I get fair interest rates on my bank of england promises. DP keeps me in pork bellies, and I bought a lot of my power suits in last years next sale.

Where I work, pro-bono is pro-boner. We love the fact that we're giving something back.

hey you dont need to name firms we will all see the press release

Literal pork bellies (does he breed pigs?) or pork belly futures?

I see no-one is a linguist (I speak quite a few languages), so my identity remains safe.

How can your dh be anti-capitalism and trade the markets?

is this your dp

and its a no win no fee firm isn't it?

Have we veered into trading places? Contains my favourite movie line ever:

Your brothers having a heart attack!

FUCK HIM

Literal pork bellies. We can't get enough of them. He cornered the future's market in it in the past, and developed a taste for them when a certain amount of the futures expired and we were forced to take delivery.

This is the reason I think I would prefer to keep my own counsel standards must be falling, do they let anyone practice law?

I'm beginning to like you Tulisa.
