Ecstatic Laughter In The Evenings

tbw

I'm going into full blown rant mode now-I doubt very much if anyone on here will take this personally but, to be honest, if there IS anyone who does the same thing then I don't give a monkeys if they are offended!!!

A short while ago there was a press report about a pregnant woman who already had 11 children living in a 5 bedroom council house (soon to move to a 7 bedroomed house as she feels 'cramped'!) and receiving £39,000 in benefits. She had just bought a very expensive Mulberry bag and felt she could spoil herself if she wanted and couldn't see why anybody should object.

That wound me up enough but todays reports are even worse. She was separated from her husband but they have got back together as they want more children - she says they are good at making babies and as she gets more benefits with each child she can afford a big family. She flaming well CAN'T afford them - and I can see absolutely no reason why she clearly thinks that mugs like all us hardworking lot should suppoert her blatant !!!!less, selfishness.

She just booked an expesive Las Vegas holiday costing thousands of pounds to renew her wedding vows - £1000 designer dress, good hotel, various shows, helicopter rides etc and says she doesn't feel bad about using taxpayers money as she 'is entitled to a holiday' ! She went to Menoca last year and spent around £7000 so she obviously reckons she's entitled to an expensive jaunt every year.

I'm flaming well spitting feathers - this isn't an isolated case and we regularly see reports of similar !!!!less, idle prats who fell the rest of us owe them an expensive lifestyle. And there will doubtless be many more that we don't get to hear about. How the hell do they get away with it - surely it can be stopped ?

Thinking out loud, re the BE moc in the T mag, some products are on 3 for 2 - just wondering if you bought 3 of the steam fresh mixes (£1.89 each) would the till think you've spent £5.67 and accept the £1 off £5 spend and thus work out at £2.78 for 3 packs or just over 92p a pack? Just a thought

Totally disgusting..I personally have 10 children but my husband worked 13 hours a day as a bus driver only benefit we had was child benefit we couldnt claim anything else because his earnings were too high..Then people like this sicken me thinking back how tight things were for us. We chose to have all our children so why should someone else pay for them

10 :eek: <-- that would be me.


Congrats to you. I don't think I could handle such a massive family in my house. But if I had 10 imagine the amount of shops you could do with the older ones I would love to be a mum with 10 kids for the day. I know a mum local to me and she has a mega family is the word I would use and I been around her house when one of the kids is having a birthday party and that and its crazy.. its like a mad house. I bet Christmas is really fun in your house.

Dippy - I hope you don't think I was digging at people who choose to have a large family and then work hard to support them. Its just the blatant insistence that this woman and her like can have as many as she wants and expect the rest of us to pay for them because it is 'her right'.
