I have sat on the info for ages and didn't do anything except get angrier and angrier.

For christmas son's friend got a pony, bmx bike, x box, ipod and family ski trip.

My son got a second hand lego set as that is all we could afford this year.

Son's friend gets free school meals and all school trips paid for.

We can't afford school dinners and scrimp and save for son to go on school trips.

Son's friend's dad lives with them and works but I know she claims benefits as a single mum.

She earns £25 an hour cash in hand at a racing stables.

She gets everything paid for, including housing benefit etc.

We can't afford ponies nor lessons yet she has 2 competition horses.

I never thought I 'd do this as she's a nice person but I've had enough.

So many lone' parents doing this. Make me so angry too. I don't blame you for reporting. I ahd one greedy collegue doing this - and she wasn't even short of money ,she had three lots of CM coming in from her elder kids dads, then he youngest kids dad lived there most of the time and was earning but ' officially' lived at his mums round the corner. This had bene going on for years.
