I've just seen a bridezilla on benefits, in a 4x4, full of kids called Jayden, Hayden and Kayden eating Gregg's sausage rolls, parked in a P&T space while formula feeding a baby with pierced ears and smoking a benson and hedges before taking out the Daily Mail and letting the baby control cry at the top of his lungs with no regard for the people in other cars.

AIBU to find this behaviour disgraceful?

For crying out loud Fanjo why do you think the benefits people gave you a new state of the art washing machine??

I bet she stores the knives on the left of the cutlery drawer and all Angry

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 16/01/2013 15:40

I put the washer in the garden as an ornament. I thought that's what you do with them

atthewelles · 16/01/2013 15:43

No, Fanjo you put Gnomes with fishing rods in the back garden. Ask the benefits people, I'm sure they'll get you some (and maybe a little windmill as well).

Fanjo -my mum told me that the single mum on benefits who lives near her gets her Dorothy Perkins store card paid off by the government so you should be shopping there for free!

Binkyridesagain · 16/01/2013 15:47

Fanjo have you got a sofa next to the washer? If not you ain't doin it rite!

Binkyridesagain · 16/01/2013 15:49

Daily fail is going to have a field day with this thread, enough headlines to keep them going for a year all in one place.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 16/01/2013 15:51

There's no room for a sofa because of the rusted up car with no tyres.

Anyway you haven't got enough kids - if you have 12 kids then the Government gives you a mansion to live in with a butler and cook and sends you to Barbados on holiday -FACT

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 16/01/2013 15:53

I have a sofa in the back. I'm not a bad mum so when our Kayden goes for a cog he gas somewhere to sit.

I have a debenhams store card that gets £1000 put on a month for me .

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 16/01/2013 15:54

Cig, has** Sorry our Jayden jumped on my sent kfc grease everywhere

atthewelles · 16/01/2013 15:58

You should get the welfare to give you a decent laptop Fanjo.

I have one of those Apple ones for mt sons. One of their 5 a day

flamingtoaster · 16/01/2013 16:17

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie - yes I am afraid you do have to wash them. Spraying them with Febreze doesn't count (and that applies to the DC as well they do need to be bathed).

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 16/01/2013 16:22

Whats Febreeze? Is that a dealer? I know a Febreze, he sells Es outside Home Bargains.

You have to wash the kids? They stand in the rain so figured that would do. Next time ill squirt a bit of dog shampoo on them

shockers · 16/01/2013 16:26

Aw, PurplePidjin beat me to it Grin.

atthewelles · 16/01/2013 16:34

Shouldn't you be starting to get the kids' tea Fanjo. It'll take a while to open all those packets of crisps while Jayden runs down to the chippy for some chips with curry sauce.

OP posts:
SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 16/01/2013 16:44

Nah, there's ice cream in the freezer they can have that.

If they want chips they can pay for them theirselves! Cant have people judging me for not been strict enough now

HoneyDragon · 16/01/2013 18:02

I so badly want a steak slice, chips and curry sauce and a tin of Dandylion & Burdock now

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 16/01/2013 18:05

Honey Come to mine tomorrow morning. That's what we have for breakfast! We can sit on the outdoor sofa

HoneyDragon · 16/01/2013 18:14

You are so on. I'll bring Pickled Onion Monster Munch and Super Noodles for lunch so we can make a day of it

BluelightsAndSirens · 16/01/2013 18:17

Pot noodles are down to 50p in Asda we are having them for dinner.

Saves on the washing up Hayden has to do.

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 16/01/2013 18:19

Oh that sounds too posh to me Honey

A pot noodle dinner?! Some people are so privileged

atthewelles · 17/01/2013 10:25

We ar having a homecooked meal this evening. I will be switching on the oven at 5pm sharp, all ready for the nuggets and chips. I will also be cooking some vegetables on the hob (if I can find the tinopener).
It's part of my new year's resolution to feed my family more healthily. I have cut takeaways down to 4 a week and the other days I heat stuff up myself. My mum is very impressed and calls me 'Nigella'. She didn't even know I had a cooker.
My other resolution is to bring the kids to school at least once a week. Apart from keeping the authorities off my back, the exercise will do us good as the school is nearly 5 minutes walk away.
Between that and my new healthy eating plan I should have lost a couple of stone by Easter and will be able to squash myself into lots of skimpy revealing clothes this Summer. I can't wait Smile.
I know the next few months are going to require a lot of determination and self discipline and I'm not really looking forward to them. But it will be worth it when I'm in those leopardskin hotpants with the matching stilletoes Smile

A cooker? Is that a posh name for that white thing in the kitchen called a micro something?

Sounds very posh indeed.

I have the leopard print hot pants! I wore them to parents evening. The teachers couldn't stop staring Grin

theodorakisses · 17/01/2013 15:14

Were the kids eating a daily packet of crisps? I expect so, the fuckers.
