A grand a month in Child Benefit alone?
Assuming this - https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/5264311/channel-... - is correct then it says he is on 50k a year plus £170 a week (say £9k in round numbers) in benefit.I forget the exact number from the show but I think they said it was £300 - £400 for two trolleys of food that would last them for 3 days so thats between £3-£4k a month on food alone before other bills.
So 48k a year on food from a total income of £59k. That doesnt leave much for anything else although its doable given the number of hand-me-downs they must have. It wouldnt have covered the cost of the holiday though (I assume the TV program covered that aspect).

Then again it could be dessert. Breakfast-dinner-tea-supper, obviously.austinsmirk said:
We've just removed 52 large needle boxes (full of needles/syringes) from a 2 bed flat. Unbelievably the tnt was still alive.
A close up from a bedside table and a box on the floor, the whole place was basically like this:
The junkies that were squatting in this flat had been thrown out, about 10 of them, so were now living on the stairwell of the block harassing people and frightening the kids. One morning I was waiting in my van outside the block and they attacked it, I jumped out with my crook lock and they were spitting at me and screaming like the complete scum they are. I heard my passenger door slam and one of them ran off with my phone. There's a very long convoluted story about the Police being completely uninterested in getting it back for me even though I could prove what house it was in but the insurance was the funniest part.
I'd taken the best insurance out I could get for the phone because my job can throw up certain situations, the insurance company said "This covers you for everything, you're sorted".
Except it didn't, because the van wasn't locked!
Had I left it on a train, dropped it in the toilet or just plain thrown it out of the window they'd have paid out but they had one caveat, if it's stolen from a vehicle it had to be a break in.
I explained that I was being physically attacked at the time by a bunch of lunatics and surely that had to count for something but it cut no ice!
Council types who try to negotiate the price down for something on gumtree (council) before they have seen it because they have to pay the ‘driver’ money because they can’t drive so feel that you have to compensate them for it.
Assuming they turn up tomorrow it’s going to be fun... I imagine the fact that it needs assembling and they don’t have the tools will be next.
Edit: They asked if it (sofa bed) will support the weight of their 24 stone friend who is visiting at the weekend and the use ‘no’ instead of ‘know’ in the messages.

How many cookers do you reckon they've got? There's no way you could cook a decent meal for all that lot in one go unless you've got at least 2 cookers. Maybe they've got 2 kitchens, one at each end of the house, with a meeting place for dining in a central position. Plus 2 dish-washers, although I suppose that's a job for the teenagers. Mum's bill for tampons must be pretty low, she's permanently pregnant.
He owns a bakery, surely they just live off all the left overs at the end of the day?Oakey said:

The TV showed them making pies and 2 of his kids serving them with peas on top so it appeared to be like a chippy but with no fish or chips The logistics must be amazing given they have an almost class sized brood of kids at home. They must be constantly knackered all the time.
It’s probably safe to say whatever is left in the shop at the end of the day doesn’t get wasted though.

They are cooking wrong - it doesn't need to be THAT expensive!I forget the exact number from the show but I think they said it was £300 - £400 for two trolleys of food that would last them for 3 days so thats between £3-£4k a month on food alone before other bills.

Watched them a few times, great family values and work ethic.
He runs his own bakery, own their house and brought up their children with manners and values.
Definetly not council.
I wonder if social services and the cops are keeping an eye on them.He runs his own bakery, own their house and brought up their children with manners and values.

If the kid count falls and the bakery's takings increase...
I’m currently in A&E with our baby daughter as she has a very high temperature that we can’t get down. Not nice, but at least my wife and I are being kept entertained by the our fellow patients.
The level of council is quite astonishing. I haven’t been in an A&E in years and - even in Essex - this has to be the most council place for miles around. It’s horrendous; I couldn’t work in here as I’d end up a patient with blood pressure issues.

Out of interest, as the BBC is grinding its NHS in crisis axe this week, plus the fact we currently have the "Ask a paramedic anything" thread, how many of the people waiting appear as if they need to be "Accident & Emergency"?The level of council is quite astonishing.
