22 kids and counting Christmas special ch5

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Anyone watch

£5/7k on presents

Trying to serve up for 26 must be hard

I just saw that on tattle. I know she moans she gets a lot of stick ie Sue but she is not helping herself rubbing things in to people's faces especially the way things are. Surprised kids can have so much time off school too. Also her children have no privacy.

Sorry i think i might have posted on the wrong thread.

This is still last years and just general chit chat

Not sure if will be one this Xmas tho sure another series is sue to show off all the instragram holidays posts

They can’t be paying for it all themselves. Channel 5 must have paid for a lot of it as content for the new show which can’t, imo, have any longevity. People, who can’t heat their homes or feed their children, aren’t going to want to sit watching the Radfords galavanting here, there and everywhere all over the world/country and over indulging their children with presents.

How can you come straight back from a trip to New York City to then go straight to Disneyland Paris? It's absolutely absurd.

How can they afford all these school fines for taking them out of school during term time?

Just ridiculous, as each day passes they come more and more unrelatable.

What?! They were in New York only the other day and now they are in Paris. Nothing about them adds up.

New 10 part series starting 8th January. No doubt to show all the amazing holidays they've had this year.

Yes I'm jealous of all the holidays. Even if I could afford them I wouldn't be able to have enough time off work!

@MuddlingThroughLife fab !!
Sure we will all enjoy through gritted teeth of how the fuck they afford it

Are they in Disneyland again?

Their fans, who aren't that bright, are even starting to question them now.

Why doesn’t it add up? They are loaded from all the ad revenue from their website/blog and YouTube vids. Money from the tv show deals. I have no idea what else they do but assume they have a following on insta/Facebook etc so no doubt get paid for sponsored posts for particular products etc which they receive for free. Same with some of their trips etc.

Do they have a book or similar? Money in that too.

Oh and then apparently the bakery is still going, presumably turning a profit.

What are their full names? Might be able to do a companies house search on them and get an idea of whether they’ve got a load of cash sat in company accounts (rich people leave it there as withdrawing as salary/dividends is a big tax hit, so they withdraw what they need only)

Looks like a limited company has been set up for the pie business (although the name of the ltd company does in no way mean it is actually where the pie business is operating) in the last few years but no accounts yet filed (probably too small to have to file a statement of profit or loss anyway) and another one TRF21 Ltd which has £250k of current assets in it (current assets will predominantly be cash and amounts due to them within a year e.g. outstanding payments for a tv deal). Noel has paid himself out £270k as a directors loan, this is partly repaid. As a small company there is only so much info that can be gleaned from a balance sheet.

The bakery? I thought it was a pie shop.

Although the story about working hard and the insistence they they don't claim benefits would be more believable if they owned a butchers, bakers and were pie makers

Jan 8th it's back

There's something about families in matching outfits that gives me the creeps!

I have had a look at their holidays.
This year alone they have been to
Disney Florida twice,
France,
Maldives,
New York,
Disney Paris.
That's not including the multiple trips to Legoland and trips in the motorhome.

They literally must have bought one of every size available in those Pjs. Just buying matching pjs for everyone must be a few hundred quid before you get to presents!

And Alton Towers about 673 times this year too!

Guess with the pjs each pair will go to the next older child

Unless they have different design each year

Nope, they never pass anything on to the younger children. Pushchairs, toys, bikes, clothes, school uniform, it's all bought new for each child.

Madness

I really hope so. The 22 kids are now reduced to about 15 that actually appear on the show, with Millie's two making up the numbers on occasion. All we ever see on TV are ridiculously staged events that we've seen many times before.

I can't help thinking that whoever commissions this series is actually wanting the viewers to watch and learn how NOT to bring up a family, and that continually producing more children that you can safely look after is NEVER a good idea!

Perhaps they will come under pressure to show themselves in a more eco friendly light

The constant buying stuff and not passing down things really irritates me
