Unprotected SEX = Being poor / Ripped off

RM love the jar!!!

That picture is just scary - I will continue to believe it was photoshopped.

Hope to goodness that picture was photoshopped - didn't even notice the bottle in the background - now I feel terrible.

Oh and who does that to a baby? I look in the background and see the vodka bottle and sigh.

Trust me add 9 months + 7 years when your child is using school stationery and your husband will think you are the cleverest shag in the entire freaking universe!!!

Brilliant. Going to put the jar next to the bed tonight.

I think this is probably one of the most relevant threads ever posted on Moomie.

Never mind the colour of your child's poo, and the college fund.

IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT HAVING SEX AND THINK YOU MIGHT/MAYBE NOT USE A CONTRACEPTIVE -- START PUTTING MONEY NOW INTO A STATIONERY FUND JAR.

Wish I could find Kayla's Grade 2 stationery list to scan and post it here. It was crazy. Some of the things she needed:

FOUR x pencil sharpeners???
TWO x scissors (they told us the exact name and brand)
TWENTY (YES 20) big Pritts!!

Oh my goodness it was crazy. The list was endless, but I can still not get over the above mentioned items. And the best part is, you have to send it all to school for them to keep and you don't get any unused goods back at year end. Only from Grade 4 will they start bringing their stationery home.
