Renovated with grants given by the local authority, just in case you want to be mad at that too.Its all mind over matter. I don't mind and you don't matter:rotfl:0 -
You bought the iPhone today? You have spent most of your time being absolutely horrible, insensitive , self righteous and rude to everyone, wanting to wind everyone one up, I'll tell you this disabled or not disabled does not ever give you the right to post to anyone what you have been posting, you should not be allowed to post that way
How have I been rude? Because I won't be told how awful I am that my child doesn't like hand knitted dolls clothes? Or to play outdoors with jumpers as goal posts etc etc.
Yes I bought her a iPhone..phone contract to go with it too.Its all mind over matter. I don't mind and you don't matter:rotfl:0 -

gosh no, that's what they are there for. If it makes your home more habitable for you and your daughter, its gone to good use.:j:jOur gorgeous baby boy born 2nd May 2011 - 12 days overdue!!:j:j0 -
I don't think so much that folk are mad at you getting benefits or help or whatever you are entitled to. I think it is more that you openly admitted at the start that perhaps you were over-indulging your child by what she received, and were all out of ideas because basically she has pretty much everything she could need, material-wise. When some folk agreed with this you seemed to go on the defensive though, and actually almost boasted about what you will get her? Who is this all for? To make you feel better? Honestly, in the long term, it won't help anyone!
Whatever you do I wish you and your daughter a great life, as far as can be with whatever the disability issues are.Ermutigung wirkt immer besser als Verurteilung.

It's exactly that attitude that is rude. I can now understand why your 10 year old child thinks hair extensions are necessary, it's because of your overly materialistic outlook on life. I feel sorry for both of you.
Most of us have happy memories of playing outside as children and would like our kids to have the same. You and your children are obviously above such banal pleasures, only things that cost a fortune seem to be good enough for you.
We all came onto this thread to help you. You respond with boasting, insults, snearing, looking down on people and straightforward abuse.
I can only hope this thread doesn't get picked up on by the Daily Mail journalists who regularly trawl this site for stories. Such an obvious case of benefit abuse is exactly what they like to use, this then affects the many people who desperately need every penny of their benefits to pay for day to day life.0 -

I'm starting to think this is just trolling now.
There are so many people on disability benefits who struggle to make ends meet as the payments aren't that great, it simply doesn't make sense that the OP has
1. Thousands for Xmas
2. Meals out every couple of days
3. Several holidays a year
4. Hundreds wasted on birthday presents
And Housing benefit when you own your own home??
If you really had that money spare, you'd save it & when your daughter left home shed have a house deposit or car fund etc
if this were actually true all shell be left with is a house of out of date gadgets, clothing & a bad attitude to boot.0
