Hope things don't get this bad, but the article seems to be suggesting that in some guy's opinion, means testing Child Benefit might result in some young fellah not getting to go to Peru to visit family this christmas. Surely there's a fairer way. Surely it hasn't come to this.

Fuck, I'm worried.

Anyone else heard any horror stories?

Pretty vomit-inducing it must be said

Now that I think about it, €35k is not a lot of money.
I wouldn't like to have to live on it. Nevermind feed three.

I'm rooting for Diego.

We used those nappies for 2 years with Isabelle. Haven't used them for Heather cos when she was an infant she just overwhelmed them with wee. Must try them on her again now

we bought them and used them at the start with our first. Very bulky so we abandoned them. Probably should have tried harder.

Started a job 6 months ago and it's the first fulltime, alright / not shit job I've had in much longer than 5 years. Never owned a house or car and never had much of an income before so thankfully recession is affecting me less and I might actually afford to go on a proper holiday this year too. Wew
