To think this is bloody ridiculous............?

What sort of message is she sending her children? Or am I being judgey?

One sock with lots of newspaper. Piles and piles of socks!

It's disgusting. How can you even be bothered to find that number of things to give someone? And how will they ever appreciate anything?

Meh, it's up to her. I've been accused of going overboard (not like that, admittedly). From my point of view it comes from having socks for Christmas, when she was feeling really generous I'd get school uniform!

She's making herself a bit of a target for anyone who fancies breaking in and stealing pressies. Bonkers.

If she can afford it why not?

Oh there are a WHOLE HOST of reasons why not. Firstly she is buying plastic tat which will end up in landfill. Secondly, the article in the Mail says that her children haven't even opened all of their presents from LAST Christmas. She is teaching them that quantity is all there is to aspire to. She is bringing up another generation of compulsive consumers with no thought for the planet. She is happy to advertise her spending to get some cheap column inches (and probably a fee for appearing on a Channel 5 reality programme). She is condemning her children to be "those kids with the 96 presents" to all of their classmates and their parents.

Will that do for starters?

96 presents per child (three kids) plus presents for her husband.

I need to know:

Where does she hide all the presents?

Why on earth would you want to wrap 300 presents?

Where does all this stuff go after Christmas?

And does the bin lorry do an extra collection just at her house for all the paper/cardboard?

The wrapping of 300 presents would leave me weeping. I get bored of doing it after about 5.

I bet the kids will have an interesting time at school on Friday.

Is it 96 presents for EACH kid?

I agree with the its her money she can do what she likes with it but I do think its daft and having 96 gifts for 500 they must be tat I have prob spent that on my daughters each but they only have maybe 8 gifts each and they all go with each other eg their main gift between them is a doll house so some of the other gifts are dolls to go with this. What she has done seems like a waste of money quality rather than quantity is what she should have aimed for.

I think that's each

I'm a bit OCD about clutter anyway, the thought of having to store all that "stuff" literally makes me shudder!

I bet she's taken a load of old toys DVDs food from the kitchen cupboard etc, wrapped them and taken a pic to Put on Facebook.

The daft woman is trying to get meeja attention. Actually, thought it was a quirky take on a Christmas tree first until I saw the real tree hiding at the back. Lol

"bowchikkawowwow

I bet she's taken a load of old toys DVDs food from the kitchen cupboard etc, wrapped them and taken a pic to Put on Facebook."

Yep.

The BBC article says about 100 presents each.

What's in those packages? Are they poundshop tat? I can't see the appeal for the children. Apart from a frenzy of unwrapping which must surely get tedious after a while?

Her kids' rooms must have cupboards the size of garages.

But that would take her off the daftness scale, no?

What this woman is basically saying is "LOOK AT ME!!! See what a FABULOUS mother I am because I fill my house with TAT!! I love my kids SO MUCH!!! Those of you who spend less are depriving your kiddies, innit?"

It's actually disgusting. She should give her kids less and give something to kids who have nothing if she's determined to splash the cash.

Also who could be fucked to wrap that many presents.

I wonder if this is really for her kids benefit or the media attention it gets her.

It's 96 presents per child

And she's admitted herself that the kids haven't even played with half the stuff last year. It's still sealed

The wrapping looks cheap and scrunched.

Ridiculous. I mean, I loved having a pile of presents on Christmas Day but it was more like 10-15 presents, most of them small things like stationary. I'd be extremely fed up of opening presents after the first 20 or so if I had that many.

Wondering though, my mum sent over a lot of jars of Bovril for my OH for Christmas - maybe I should wrap each one separately so he has a bigger pile of presents

In a world where people are torturing and sexually abusing children I find it difficult to be overly critical of someone giving to their children.

Meh.

Well if she has managed to acquire a fee from Channel 5 by wrapping up tat from around the house - I think she is a bit of a legend.

Wrapped up Tetley Tea, anyone?

She is on TV this week because of it. I'm sure it's tomorrow on channel 4

The stuff she brought can't be much value in them TBH I much rather have quality not quantity
