There, phew, wageslave is going to cover it.
Elbow grease is free, I agree: storage etc might not be (I've been distracted so haven't seen yet).
Ah, just seen filthy dishes in rooms, yes, thats free to sort out. But stuff, I think, can be harder.0 -
Nothing a machine gun couldnt sort out.0

Five kids, rent and community tax paid and £280 quid a week.
Thats do-able if you cook from scratch etc. Or am I being unrealistic?Retail is the only therapy that works0 -
Stuff is definately more difficult.

Cardboard boxes are free. Anything is better than the faffing floor.

I feel really sad about the Keith Allen family.
. Perhaps its to do with the cameras but the interaction between them seems....well, sad.
And the bedding..or lack there of, I've seen sheets in chrity shops..surely a family with a laptop (which seemed to be being used unplugged in, so possibly wireless,) could afford a sheet for the child who sleeps on a mattress on the floor?0 -
Ok they are dreadfully overcrowded but does no-one own sheets?
How much is a fold up bed?

I take it this person you are talking about will also fall under the "poverty" guidelines.
This is my problem with poverty. It's not really poverty, it's just laziness and a complete lack of priorities and basically, selfish.
I'm not watching btw!0
