Welcome, Margaret. Maybe Ms Mills plans on marrying Prince Charles for a couple of years?

My mother seems to be under the impression that Heather Mills is the new Princess Diana. No idea why, but there you go.

Grandad, I’m a mere 48, and I remember MY grandad muttering about “kids these days” and how the world’s going to hell in a handbasket.

He’d have a fit if he could see it all now, because.. you’re right.

The only reason we live in a culture full of celebrity and consumer, is because that is what the media, and those who live there lives by it, tell us…

Just ignore them, live the life you want to not the life they want you too.

Peace

I actually sat down last night and read the entire judgement [that was no mean feat!]. It is full of little beauties..
She wanted £30,000 a year for equestrian activities [she doesn't ride]
She wanted £39,000 a year for wine [she doesn't drink alcohol]
She wanted £500,000 a year for holidays!!!

She is some dame.

As for the doodlebugs…. I’ll drop the odd one from time to time.

I wonder if and when a custody battle ensues that her sanity will not be called into question. And is she the kind of role-model we should have for women or motherhood. The bottom line seems to now be, get married, have a child and then claim back pay(not just maintenance) when the marriage doesn’t work out. Please no.

Grandad, I couldn’t agree with you more. Though to be fair, there are probably plenty of sensible young people we don’t notice, and plenty of potentially sensible young people who get caught up in the wildness despite their best intentions.

If you ‘doodlebug’ then your thoughtful musings on life and society will land on assorted targets and explode the general complacency!

I seem to have struck a cord? I actually hadn’t planned to write this piece [not that I plan any of them].. It was just a doodle in an idle moment.

I think I should do more doodling?
