    You've still got to pay for the soundproofing so the neighbours don't call social services.

    At a very basic level, even if you dress them in hand-me-downs, wash their (hand-me-down) nappies by hand and let them play with cardboard boxes, you either lose one paypacket, or pay for childcare which is a tad more than a tenner a week.

    and that's no reflection on Suity, just that taxes and other living expenses in the UK are so scandalously high.

    eBay is no longer the place for bargains it used to be, as others have said people are using it for their main sales channel now

    I'm always surprised to hear of anyone buying anything on ebay these days, amazon seems to have taken over that market.

    Yes but this ones a winner. He's got Suityou02 to dress up in a nappy & sexy undies and take some provocative posts. He then advertises them online and Punters from Japan place orders. Little do they know where those soiled undergarments are really coming from.
