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?

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 · 23/07/2013 14:59

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.

I think that's what you said CrumbledWalnuts.

Crumbledwalnuts · 23/07/2013 15:12

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

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

Totally lost Confused

GobbySadcase · 23/07/2013 15:15

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

Others disagree.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 23/07/2013 15:17

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

GoshAnneGorilla · 23/07/2013 15:24

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 Grin

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 · 23/07/2013 15:25

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

Crumbledwalnuts · 23/07/2013 15:27

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 · 23/07/2013 15:27

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

baffled

Beastofburden · 23/07/2013 15:28

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

Crumbledwalnuts · 23/07/2013 15:28

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.
