Hello to all you #frothers
Thought I'd take the liberty of starting us a nice new thread as the other is getting rather full. :)

(and when we become grans will we be shipped off to gransnet?!)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 07/12/2011 20:32

Thank you MmeLindor...

What makes me so sad is that Home Start work with families who are reaching breaking point for all sorts of different reasons, what they do is vital. So here's a good idea, let's cut their funding!

But how can it be anything less than a crime when these early intervention services don?t survive the cuts?

And then what happens?

ShirleyKnot · 07/12/2011 20:32

Are you drunk Mme? Wink

I checked out Gingerbread website earlier and have noticed that Mumsnet have been included in their list of "helpers" which has made me BEAM (and do a little happy cry in all honesty)

The thing I'm finding so incredible is that every single day there's a news story which feeds into frothers - how about the pushing by the BBC of those thieving scum payday loans companies today?

Incredible really!

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 20:34

FFS, was trying not to froth today, except, CHILD POVERTY IS THE FAULT OF LAZY PARENTS???!!!

:(

Love the 12 days of xmas idea.

Great post Lubey, and great idea to post the quote from Kinnock. Blimey, that hits home.

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 20:36

Have we got a new thread looming? This one is getting vair full.

blackoutthexmaslights · 07/12/2011 20:36

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 20:40

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 07/12/2011 20:41

The Kinnock quote made me cry

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 20:42

AF, it put goose bumps all over me :(

RatherBeOnThePiste · 07/12/2011 20:43

I knew it! Bloody Daily Mail :-
Workshy parents are to blame for child poverty, say 63%

Link here

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 07/12/2011 20:45

who would like to set up the new thread ?

MmeLindor. · 07/12/2011 20:54

No, not drunk Shirley but I have had both eggnog and mulled wine... so maybe a bit...

Typos were from using DD's mini netbook. and the eggnog

Golly gee. There is a way to use up all that whisky that we have lying about the place.

:o

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 20:55

You do it AF

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 20:55

:)

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 07/12/2011 20:56

Despite being heavily pg I have also partaken of a solitary drink today. That lazy parents thing really upset me, and had a bit of a crap day with DD on the back of it.

ShirleyKnot · 07/12/2011 20:58

Oh FUCK the DM.

ShirleyKnot · 07/12/2011 21:00

Crikey are we almost full?

Let's talk new titles!

Grin
FontSnob · 07/12/2011 21:01

^My wife and I work, we aren't rich and struggle to save and we both feel that we are paying for everyone else already, we'd love a 5% increase in our income too!

We see people who are "Poorer" than us without jobs smoking, drinking and not curbing their spending and living in brand new social housing.

We'd like someone to think about us for a change!^

And that is one of the comments...

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 21:01

The 12 froths of Christmas?

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 07/12/2011 21:06

Can I ? Can I start the new thread ?

Any ideas for new thread title ?

MmeLindor. · 07/12/2011 21:06

oh, had a massive coughing fit there. Likely due to standing in the cold for 2 hours this evening.

Am medicating myself with more mulled wine.

MmeLindor. · 07/12/2011 21:08

Now I know where the term "mullered" comes from.

Thread title: Have yourself a frothy little Christmas? Or should we save that one up for the Xmas week?

NorfolkNCarolSingers · 07/12/2011 21:08

Do you want froth with that? Frothers Unite!

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 07/12/2011 21:09

How about "Too Many Cuts...come join the #Frothers and have your say"

will that do for the new thread ?
