How the hell do they have time to bring up six children, horses, dogs and chickens. Run 3 homes, countless shops and travel the world.
I struggle with 1 house, 2 children, 1 cat, 1 hamster and 2 goldfish, HELP!!

because they are superior beings, Uggsmum. They're clearly much cleverer and better organised than us - it's why they're rich and we're not.

"extreme energy" = heavy coke habit.

Hence that piled up kids picture. She was high as a kite at the time, they were pinning her down to stop her from flying off to Milan for another set of used flip-flops.

It is extraordinary what some people will buy if it is "vintage" and "French".

DH comes from a small village in the South of France and each Spring, the villages have "vide-grenier". They are basically a collective village garage sale. Everyone empties out the kids old toys and the crap that's been sitting around all year, sticks it out on the doorstep and you wander around and pick up stuff for a euro or so.

Last year, I picked up some of those old glass water containers - you know the ones with pernod or whatever on them - for about a quid each. And I saw them on an equivalent website to the pedlars for about £60

I should offer my services. DH's father has a cellar full of tat authentic French artefacts.

A fool and his money etc., etc.,

This kind of site magically turns me into some sort of ranting communist, I must stop looking.

Cannot believe people waste this much money on fooking useless tat--they must have very empty lives. And people are starving! And children can't get a decent education! And....and.....

This thread is brilliant and has cheered me up no end. The ladder for nearly £300 in particular!

These people have GOT to be friends with the ones who extort thousands of pounds from rich Londoners for a weekend on a farm where you can rent chickens. And pay £50 for a beef stew or something. There was a thread about it a few weeks ago.

I want to know how much Balbegno Castle costs to rent. But I don't think I can ring and ask without sounding shocked and appalled at the price. What do you reckon? £10k a week?

The price is on the site Lady it is quite cheap we could do a mumsnet trip there. I have to stop looking, the internet is infested with Pedlars very depressing.
