I noticed she was at one point also wearing an Ed Hardy hoody.

They start from about £70/80 and go up from there.

Also noticed the internet enabled PC.

Also hated the fact that they seemed to just expect the rich folk to buy them a new house. "I don't want to decorate, I just want to move"

Although I was shocked that the 6 of them in one house of that size was not classed as badly overcrowded. I thought it was illegal for siblings of that age to share a bedroom when of opposite sex's let alone share a bed.

Maybe she saved up for three months to buy that hoody or its fake/knock off from local market stall.

When your at home 18+ hours a day looking after kids you tend to have plenty of spare time for internet etc.

Perhaps she felt offended at the suggestion that the house was in bad order afterall it was over crowded contributing too this, if someone came into your house/office and started knitpicking and forcing you to change things wouldn't it upset you.
You're right it may well have been a knock off from a market stall. It probably still cost more than a pair of school shoes for her son.

In the same vein - if she had saved up for three months to buy it why didn't she spend her money on things that were obviosuly important - like a new sofa bed, or seperate beds for her children, or again a pair of school shoes for her son, or maybe paying of the loan she'd taken out, or the phone bill she couldn't afford to pay?

And i'm sure she does have plenty of spare time sat at home all day - so why didn't she spend some of that time tidying up the house? - a wardrobe in the kids bedroom - fine condition - open the doors not a thing hung up everything just thrown in. The house was filthy, they lived in a mess, the garden was a tip.

I'm sure overcrowding was contributing to the state of the house, but thats not an excuse NOT to look after it.
