Would you mind me asking how much this person gets in monetary support? I would love to know what Anna receives as nails/Botox/lip filler is very expensive and I do wonder how much she does have left over to spend on her girls. If any at all. She doesn’t really mention buying them new clothes or shoes.

I can’t give an actual specific amount but I can say that they get help to cover rent and a little on top. So unless they don’t pay their rent they won’t be spending like Anna does. I suspect she gets a lot more though because she has kids and will get payments for that, child benefit etc and council tax discounts etc.

It’s weird she’s trying to make a career out of instagram. She clearly isn’t comfortable with filming herself and isn’t great whenever she posts stuff. She doesn’t come across well at all.

I think she’s just too lazy to get a normal job. Or thinks it’s beneath her. Personally I can’t think of anything worse than having to scrounge off the state - and people who work generally have better self esteem and health in the long term, I’m sure I read that you’re more likely to die early if you don’t work.

You can look up UC online, but basically she’ll get an amount for her, an amount for each kid, and an amount towards rent. There’s an upper limit on how much she can claim for rent which is based on the local area and they do tend to be a bit lower then you can realistically actually find somewhere to rent. She’ll also get child benefit and she may be eligible for help towards council tax. When she earns money this will reduce the UC she gets.
Agree that she rarely mentions getting the kids things. I mean there was the one quid wetsuits… but yeah I do wonder how much she actually spends on them.
 
When the eldest was younger she was always posting about the clothes etc she bought her. I’d agree it’s likely she doesn’t post about it because she doesn’t do it.
 
I’d guess that C gets all of V’s old clothes (which is fine if they’re still in good condition). But does she ever really pay to take them places or do things with them, or get them a couple of things at birthdays and Xmas? Apart from whatever is #gifted like her Centre Parcs trip or a freebie at the local library, she doesn’t seem to spend anything doing stuff with them. But she’s more than happy to spend money to go on holiday by herself or get her Botox topped up

Someone's said it before but her kids always look completely feral aswell. Like I get it's hard to keep small children looking immaculate but her kids always look grubby to me.

I’ve said this on here before. They look unkept and their clothes are just old/worn out. Compared to Anna with perfectly styled hair and freshly applied make up. I feel desperately sorry for her girls. Anna is turning into her mother (if that’s what her mother is even like) and I wish she could see it.

And on her stories she said something about the people working at the tip probably looking at her in her white trousers. I doubt it Anna, they're probably just getting on with their job. She thinks she's so unique and ✨ special ✨ .

The crew at our local tip/dump are lovely, super helpful and friendly but they would absolutely be ripping the piss out of someone who turned up and made a wanky video of themselves whilst dumping stuff. Maybe not to her face but they definitely would be.
 
Oh duck off Anna. Nobody is telling you that you have to live in your (gifted) car and eat turnips.

This story has infuriated me! If you can't afford FOOD and HEATING and CLOTHING and A HOUSE then yes stop having your bleeping nails and lashes done, there's this adult thing called prioritising and managing your finances, we all have to do it! If you can't afford something basic and vital, then the treats go out the window, not permanently but until you can justify the cost again. WHY can't she get her thick skull around this.

That's not 8 weeks growth. I do my nails myself at home and I'm looking at a week and a half growth right now, and what she has there is about 3 weeks on me and I honestly don't believe my nails are growing abnormally fast.
Could probably go back on these threads and prove otherwise.
But either way, its fine to have luxuries, find to get your nails done as a treat, its just that Anna has this expectation she should have EVERY luxury while not working for any of them.

This.
I work less hours at the moment for family and personal reasons. During covid lockdowns I learned how to do my own nails and eyebrows and some skincare stuff that I used to spend money on. Now I do my own and getting someone to do things like for me is a treat saved for birthday or very special occasions. It’s saved me money each month that we can allocate elsewhere whilst I’m not earning as much. Yes, I’d love to go for the monthly treatments I used to have but we can’t afford it and so I don’t. I don’t expect that someone else should pay for that. I like having nice things and of course people should want and can have nice things but if you can’t pay your bills, then nice things need to be prioritised so you can pay your bills. She’s spoiled and ridiculous.
 
I'd quite like to see this tiktok of the girl apparently living in her car with fresh lashes and nails. I'm sure there's more context to it than that. If it's as black and white as she claims, then the girl is an idiot, and so is Anna for siding with her. When I was a kid my mum literally had to choose between food and heat. I don't think many people nowadays can appreciate the true meaning of hardship and sacrifice. I see plenty of people saying they can't eat, while holding the latest iPhone and with a pair of brand new Nike trainers on their feet. It's sheer entitlement.
