good point

Thank you Marcus...!

that ok cherie

Not in this case, no.

Oh.:joker:

I did not know that this article had appeared in the Closer Christmas issue. However the Daily Mail are notoriously right wing and this would fit their criteria perfectly, with just a soupcon of disingenuous spice thrown in for seasoning. In fact did they not suggest capital punishment for such a heinous crime? Who supplies this money? She has not stolen it. The taxpayer funds this and our government pays it out. I would suggest that this publication questions the government it champions so whole heartedly. I would also suggest that if the last shower were still in power( Wow I'm a poet and I didn't know) it they would be pointing their Victorian digit at them.Hypocritical to the end.

well I have to agree the DM is very good at whipping up a frenzy over so called benefits scroungers.

True inspiration... One day I wish to push children out of my penis to get money and buy them ipads

have you seen the price of a bag of crisp's:joker::shocked:

Well I hope she has a nice Christmas on my tax.

The annoying thing about stories like this is that people who are struggling on benefits will be lumped into the same category by some, as this workshy leech.

Aren't the kids a bit young for an ipad anyway? If it was me, and I had managed to save such a sum of money from my benefits, I would be keeping quiet about it. I would be concerned about any repercussions.

Them kids should be getting legos not ipads
Life if you're a 90s kid x

Lego :love:

As much as she's good for saving and that, it should be saved from money she's earned and not been given just for having two kids.

The benefit system in this country is disgusting. I had to sign on for a couple of months between jobs and I was given £49 a week to live on. The amount the law stated I could live on.

She has a point. Why would you bother working a minimum wage job and paying for childcare when you can get more on benefits.

She's just very fortunate she can save £2000 to waste on Christmas. I work full time and I can't afford to spend a quarter of that.

More annoying when my mum is a hard working woman yet has **** all compared to this moron

So she contributes and doesn't let people who are working fund her lifestyle. I know people who are both working and can't afford to buy ipads for their kids. Plus some people will see this woman bragging about her freeloading and assume that everyone who is on benefits lives a lavish life. And the vast majority of them don't.

Story seems hugely exagerrated anyway. Taking off council tax benefit and housing benefit (neither go to her personally so no need to include them) she gets about £180 per week. Out of this needs to come all regular household bills...gas, electric, tv license, water, phone, internet. Lets be incredibly generous and assume these bills only come to around £70 together. In reality Im sure they are more. This leaves £110.

Saving 250 a month is around 60 quid a week. So take this 60 off the 110.

This would leave her 50 quid to feed herself and her 2 kids. Out of this £50 she apparently also buys 'designer outfits, holidays abroad, clubbing, lunches out and expensive gifts'.

Impossible unless she has some other form of income too.

There's probably more to it than that. I bet she has rich parents or something. :laugh:

But, I absolutely hate that attitude "I've got children therefore I should not have to miss them growing up by having to work. I am entitled to money being given to me."

Of course, especially single parents, need the financial support but to suggest she'd be "missing out on their childhood" and she shouldn't need to work some hours to contribute to her own income is pathetic. Where is her responsibility? Is she happy just to sit at home watching Jeremy Kyle all day?

The children are 1 and 2yrs?....
really?

She's three sheets to the wind by the sounds of it too.

Thinking giving her daughters designer clothes and jewellery and having every gadget going is them automatically being "well raised".

No doubt they'll grow up spoilt and as work-shy as their mother.

Unemployed :o Benefits :o

I wonder how many DM headlines there is with these buzz words in LOL

Is she is doing so well, why don't any of them have shoes :suspect:

Not saying I agree with it, but if the government make it that you can earn more from benefits than working then that really says a lot about our country.

They have underfloor heating. She should get that dido rail fixed though. It's not straight at all.
