Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone? Part 21

[Monty100]

Did anyone beat me to it??

his main problem was he's not tellygenic
is that a word?
but I think he handled the recession masterfully, while protecting the interests of those on lower incomes
I think the squeeze will now be on
(texting quick marriage proposal to thai farmer - £75 each and no stocks for me)
i am FUCKING depressed about it, actually

nn all
staggers down country lane singing Red Flag

Ninah - lol,

Have just been reading a thread on here about his opening speech when he said blah blah blah about not looking at what your entitled to but what your responsibilities are..... on the other thread they are just so disgusting about people who claim benefits omfg. People on benefits are going to be trounced financially,. (I work so I'm not talking personally, although I expect I'll be trounced too in some ways or others).

Ffs

yes I have just been on the responsibilities thread giving it some effin bustyrucket trollperson

Ninah - Will go and have another read, hoping they have been well and truly flattened.

it is actually quite heartening to see some mnetters leap to the defence

i'm sticking away from all politic i've decided online tbh thru fear of offending folk - I have my views and with me n my concious they'll say - oh aside from me mum who I rant at when folk annoy me lol.

nin - thai farmer - marriage erm did I miss summat there?!

if i'm still technically married then does that mean XH will get breaks?? anyhow...

lookin forward to talkin to soldier later for a bit, has only been 2 quick calls the last 2 days - poor loves been up since 5.am and the night b4 last he didn't go to bed till 4 then up again for drills at 7. still, least he's made the effort.

glad I wasn't the only one who cried . Thank god my kids were outside they would have said - mummy why are you crying.

agree with singing the red flag my immediate reaction to last night was to look at the labour party website and consider rejoining. But not sure if they are radical enough for me!!

I read a rather alarming subtext into DC's speech tbh.

I don't feel at all reassured by the lib-dem presence in the govt.

and as someone said no-one has the sense of entitlement like public school educated toffs! Related to when they bang on about a sense of entitlement amongst the benefit claimants. Very depressed about it all.

I worry about what's going to happen. I have been lucky to have had a labour government in power since DD was little. Not sure I could have survived as a single parent without their help. Or at least she wouldn't have had the upbringing she has under the Tories.

I know I've only got 2 more years left then it's over but I fear for other families.

I reckon they're going to up the tax threshold to 10k, add on the number of their door, take away their their collective age, divide it by 4 and stop tax credits for the low paid and/or lone parents.

I really rely on my minimal tax credits and the small amount of housing benefit - they probably equate to two weeks food money.

As a middle income earner I fear I may get stung.

But its not just about me - it really is about fairness and equality. I have always felt passionately about those issues since being a teenager. Used to argue all the time about it with my family.

i didnt cry but i did find myself applauding gb during his speech at labour HQ, and feel utterly miserable at the thought of this new government

i went to bed before 10 to try and forget

(actually i was dog tired but DC was the final straw)

i didn't watch any of it tbh but i am worried about what the changes mean for lone parents - not sure what they are yet. hey ho.
went to matalan today to try and find new top, i'sd gone with one of my friends not a best friend but still a friend iyswim. anyway. got in the shop and saw this skirt which i relaly liked and i don't as a rule like skirts. to cut long story v.short, i now have got used to my legs and the idea of not wearing jeans or a long skirt in summer - she turned round and said with your legs? they're really pale like mine' wtf? i'm a size 10 and i have a lovely figure thnak you very much. i think i shall go back 2moro and get it then

ninah - hows nan today? (((())))

sorry i can't stop much i'm supposed to be studying, will try and catch up more tomorrow hopefully

SCL, my tax credits plus child benefit equates to money that I live on for food and general cash expenses. I don't think I could earn this amount by working another day.

well ladies it looks like I am back on this thread for a while

Turns out marathon man has a fear of commitment and I can't be doing with it.

I want to be with someone who wants and sees a future with me and my dcs.

Am gutted but accept that I have to move on, will not be on the lookout for a n other.

passmyglass for you. Chin up, hope you are feeling better soon.

PMG so sorry for you - will be raw for a while

Eve - yes forgot about cb that's nearly two weeks more food money. I tend to go to Lidl as it is.

Just had a 'debat' with my rather right wing df over the phone. had to agree to differ

SCL - I get miniscule tax credits too, it wouldn't even pay for half the shopping, it would just about pay my train fare to work for one week of the monthly fare I pay, it's almost better than nothing though. A couple of lone parent friends of mine absolutely rely on them to survive, they'll just end up not being able to work at all, or it would make no sense to work.

It costs me, and no doubt you SCL, a substantial amount of money to go to work.

OMG Passmyglass I didn't see your post

I'm really sorry.

Is it definitely finished????

I am fairly certain its over, I don't think people get over the commitment phobia thingy.

He is far to old and set in his ways.

pmg - (((()))

if I didn't get WTC I would not be able to survive they are a vital part of my income.

The kids dad is paying the minimum amount in maintenance am I get paid minimum wage.

But am still happier as I am now, than when I was with shit face and had money.

We live frugally but survive, and me and the dcs still manage to have a good laugh

I need to get out and let my hair dow, anyone fancy meeting up for a drink again soon?

Perhaps he'll think better of it when he starts missing you. Speak on fb later.

MrsM - your friend sounds like a biatch lol. That skirt's nice. Go and get it and that's an order it'll be nice with gladiator sandals (and in my case fake tan lol).
