I get a million pounds a week in benefits

[usualsuspect]

And a 30 room mansion in the country with a swimming pool.

Not to mention all my 45 children have horses and go to private school by helicopter.

Are you jealous? Eh?

[arabesque]

It does seem a very small amount for 45 kids. I mean 45 takeaways every night, 45 fruit shoots every hour, 45 sets of ears to be pierced, 45 Gregg's sausage rolls every lunch time, 45 fines everytime you're too hungover to get the kids out to school, some of the older kids must be nearly in their teens so 45 packets of fags every day........
It must really add up.

[usualsuspect]

The CB helps with the fags and booze expense.

I do have a blue badge for my wheelbarrow, so I can park it in disabled parking spaces in Waitrose car park.

[kitty1976]

I get the equivalent of £37k a year on benefits, i'm rolling in it!!! Oh bugger that is what some people actually get, you couldn't make it up could you!!!!

[Crumbledwalnuts]

And the rest kitty, and someone didn't just make it up, they made it happen!

[usualsuspect]

Oh Kitty, poor you.

Would you like me to come down the jobcentre with you so we can steal some more tax payers money?

Or maybe you could sell some !!!!!

[LookingForwardToMarch]

Did you just recently have a baby?

Is your husband called Will?

[GobbySadcase]

Only a mill, OP?
I get three.

[Crumbledwalnuts]

Aw. It's sad to lose an argument.:( I understand people need to take comfort like this.

"Frothy frothy seeth seeth seeth frothy frothy froth."

I think that's what you said CrumbledWalnuts.

[Crumbledwalnuts]

Aw Tweasels it's ok if you want to think that.

[usualsuspect]

I haven't got time to argue.

I'm too busy spending my loadsamoney!

[SoniaGluck]

Crumbledwalnuts What was the argument? And who lost what, where?

Totally lost

[GobbySadcase]

The argument is Crumbled wants families like mine in the gutter, for the sake of fairness.

Others disagree.

[TantrumsAndBalloons]

where was the argument?

[usualsuspect]

One thread has been deleted.

[usualsuspect]

Actually, 2 threads have been deleted

[sunshine401]

45 children.. bit of a hand full. Surely they are not all under 18

[GoshAnneGorilla]

The funniest thing on this thread is Tabitha's bit about the birth of the welfare state. Dying laughing at that.

Also laughed at the Q7 being askew

This is probably a question I shouldn't ask, but those wanting benefits to be slashed, what are you hoping will happen instead, bearing in mind the current job market?

Would you like people to freeze/ or starve to death?

How many deaths would suit you? Is it just the sick and elderly you would like to kill off, or is it an all-ages purge?

[cheerfulweather]

Shouldn't you be off looking after your 45 children rather than mumsnetting

[Crumbledwalnuts]

Gosh: as I say, I've seen the argument today that we need to support lazy wasters (not my words) to stop them resorting to crime. That's from someone who's probably more on your side of the debate.

[Beastofburden]

I dont have a wheelbarrow to pick up my gold. Why should I? I own the bank anyway- why move it around?

baffled

[Beastofburden]

btw not treating this as a serious thread, having fun inventing ways to be filthy rich.

[Crumbledwalnuts]

Crumbled wants families like mine in the gutter, for the sake of fairness.

This is a tremendous way to win an argument! Make up something outrageous, say it's outrageous and who can disagree?! By George Gobby you're on to something there.
