Actually I do have sympathy for such a situation. The benefits system really is a shambles and whilst we bend over backwards to help waifes and strays from all over the world, we continue with a system which disenfranchises those who try to improve their lot.......the whole system is designed to stop you sinking, not to actually help you back on your feet and yes many on benefits do 'a little' one way or another to help ends meet but, the problem many will have with you is you flaunt it to the point that it appears like you are abusing the system rather than doing 'a bit' to get by which most would happily turn a blind eye to.

As max said, its all about attitude.

That doesn't excuse those who just seem intent on just slaggin you off.

Much better said than I could ever have.

re the original post - my order has changed to 'order being processed' with estimated delivery of 6th january, only a couple of hours it wasn't stating anything so things are happening! fingers crossed.

I ordered at about 8pm last night.

My Quidco cashback has also been deleted !!
All I am saying is....don't hold your breath.

Did they give you an option to buy at the £6?

I think what really irked people are two things:
1/ bragging about buying 110 pairs of those jeans so that you can make a profit.
Fair enough, but you have to remember that not everyone has £110 to spend on something, even if it's an investment. Moreover, those who will end up buying your goods might be those who couldn't benefit from the glitch because you bought so much stock, there wasn't any left for others.

2/ You are living on benefits. So are many people, however not all of them have parents "who buy all their food", so they have to actually survive on the amount you manage to save thanks to your relatively lucky circumstances.

So, yes, people will be bitter when you mention how much you spent, and how you spent it to then make a profit, because the majority of people living on benefits cannot afford to spend that much in the first place.
Being able to afford it is one thing. Bragging about it is another.

Maybe people should learn to be happy with what they have rather than being jealous/bitter or whatever over what other people are doing?

I don't have much at all but I don't get jealous over people who have more, everyone seems to be getting rather worked up...

Sorry, they didn't say. Just told me that they are not honouring the jeans for £1...saying that it was a print error !!

It's not being jealous, it's being annoyed at an attitude.

And for the 2nd poster, you can say i should declare to dwp to get my benefits cut even further... ect,
but ive got an idea for you, why dont you phone them up and say to them ''on your website it says that claimants whos lha rate doesnt meet their rent have to 'bridge the gap themself', where do you expect those claimants to get that money from though and how are they able to use it to bridge the gap, without merely having it deducted from their other benefits??''.

Get a job then you would have the money yourself instead of expecting those of us who work to support you perhaps?
