I worked with plenty of people who had a very good income and who saved their kiddy cash up for "treats", they didnt need it.

One thing about this case that really should have been asked is, are the kids well looked after, are they clean, clothed, supervised etc?? Is so then is that all that should matter???

I am off to eat supper now. I must get a life outside this forum

She has 3 kids two to my mate and one to another guy.

20 hours per week teaching assistant Job £770 per month
Maintainance from my friend £385 per month
Other Childs Dad £250 per month
WORKING TAX CREDIT £250 A WEEK £1083 A MONTH
And another £150 or so child benefit.

Giving her a average weekly take home of over £600 a week.:curse::curse:

Fairness in the UK your having a f*****g laugh, and my friend is toiling after he pays her and the his own mortgage.To make matters worse she has a new car with a private plate, O and she gave him a lift the other night and asked if he liked her cruise control (you couldn't make this sh*t up).

O and she is livid cause her mortgage is rising £60 pm. Surely she must be telling lies to the government about her income her net disposable income is better than mine!!!!!!!!!!! (GREADY COW)

END OF LONG RANT:curse:

I tell you I would consider shopping her, but I wouldn't do it to the kids besides private and confidential and all that. I did however have a look at the government site and there is no way the person is entitled to as much as they get.

It just gets me thats all, there was another program on the other week the couple had 17 kids, two council houses made into one, plasma tv's all over the house, a minivan, a fourwheel drive and a caravan, and he also had a motorbike. Ann whittiker (I think that her name)was on it trying to get him a Job (the program not the bike).

Turns out they net over £40,000 per year as well.
