I don;t understand why the kids get picked on? Bit stupid to pick on someone with that many brothers and sisters to back them up isn't it? Wink No one ever said a thing to dh or his brothers and sisters (other than "wow" and a couple of comments about not having a tv).

So she's not really a single mum, her daughters doing lots of the childcare

Bellstar · 31/01/2012 21:23

I think they are being very disingenous about the hamlins income-how can they afford that massive house which is immaculately decorated with all the mod cons?Hmm

I would love to have a bigger family bit simply cant afford it...

KalSkirata · 31/01/2012 21:24

child benefit is over 7K a year for 10 kids

Dotty342kids · 31/01/2012 21:25

I wouldn't say it's "immaculate" - looks like a pretty normal family home to me, unlike the show home of The Watsons in Guernsey - how does she keep it that spotless???

6 loads a day,OMG

NotnOtter · 31/01/2012 21:26

is it? they wont get it for any over 16 years of age - maybe they inherited the house

sailorsgal · 31/01/2012 21:26

They will lose their child benefit then if he is on £43,000.

pork pie wedding cake

susiedaisy · 31/01/2012 21:27

Hamlins could of inherited money, they could rent the house, the house may be part of a package with his job, she may get CM from the father of her first four children, money can come from alsorts of places

Dotty342kids · 31/01/2012 21:28

Oh, I love Yorkshire Dad, he's ace!

HooverTheHamaBeads · 31/01/2012 21:28

How much CB do you get for each extra child over the first one?

Dotty342kids · 31/01/2012 21:28

Is he not dad to all the children?? Must have missed that bit!

NotnOtter · 31/01/2012 21:29

probably more like 4k child benefit .... still not to be sniffed at but everyone with kids gets it

Bellstar · 31/01/2012 21:29

he got me pregnant? WTF!! sorry but she is completely irresponsible. sad that her baby died but still.

Dotty342kids · 31/01/2012 21:30

Oh, she's not a happy soul is she? I think the kids fill a great big emotional hole for her don't they?

pigleychez · 31/01/2012 21:30

Love the family getting married. The kids saying how much they wanted them to get married and how they would do without stuff so that they could afford it. Bless them.

HooverTheHamaBeads · 31/01/2012 21:31

Bless Dillon forgoing his trainers for the wedding.

They are such a lovely lovely family.

Bellstar · 31/01/2012 21:31

Yes I wonder if the tv company is paying for the weddingHmm

Dotty342kids · 31/01/2012 21:36

Yes, just wondering how they're managing to find the money for this. Ah, renting. Fair play!

katz · 31/01/2012 21:37

Do you think the companies might donate the dresses and units for the plug they just got on tv? Woud be nice if they did.

NotnOtter · 31/01/2012 21:38

aaaaargh....why would the tv company pay for the wedding?

katz · 31/01/2012 21:38

Units - suits!

NotnOtter · 31/01/2012 21:39

she's never only 40!

HooverTheHamaBeads · 31/01/2012 21:39
