How many young mums does it take to change a bulb.

No money for the light bulb as all the money has been spent on SMA, so just turn the contrast on the telly up and give the toddler some blue pop.

gimmer = has no children (or more accurately, no lambs)

OP is a shining example why there should be an IQ test before being allowed to breed.
She would have not passed....

arrgh, if you troll, TRY at least to be a tad amusing. This is dull as dishwater.....

YoungMum69 · 23/02/2010 14:12

So really talking about someone as 'young' is fine but say old instead...

And my point has been proved!
