“Skin and me have given me a new code”Anyone who uses skin and me gets a code that starts with their first name and gives them £10 credit for every signup. Mine gives people their 1st & 5th months for £3.50, a better deal than #Ad Ash. She probably not even being paid, just earning herself credit.

Waiting patiently for a tattler to mention botox on her post 😂
If tattlers hadn’t posted on the last reels, she’d have hardly any engagement. They were at least 50% of the Alf reel. Likes are awful recently too.
 
Oof, 6 comments and less than 200 likes on that Skin and Me ad. Might be her lowest engagement yet, and I’m so here for it 🙌🏻
surely she's going to be dropped soon? I maintain they cannot afford their lifestyle.

I wonder why their house hasn't sold.....
 
Looking through her grid posts, I struggle to see the last actual paid work she did, I think it might be end of June.

With her TU shoots/edits, assuming as an ambassador she might have been paid an upfront fee with X amount for each "edit". This will be ending soon as she was signed for 12 months.

Other than that, it's ads for things that have been gifted. I dont know if they also pay on top of the freebies but if they don't, here's a summary of her "work" over the last 2 months that's visible to the grid anyway -

Skin+me = £10 credit each time her code is used
Paternity diaries - gifted/discounted stay
Kidzania - free day out
Chair giveaway - she got one for free and asked for another one in attempt to increase engagement
Dyson Airwrap - freebies
Stanley - free cups
GMB - exposure, unlikely paid other than expenses.
SPL - see above
Dry shampoo DJ gig end of June - may have been paid for this.

How is this life sustainable? Thank goodness TNB does actually have a proper job otherwise I fail to see how they live day to day.

I definetly think they are broke, maybe just affording mortgage and shitting it it may go up next year if they are due to remortgage. And they cannot afford the repairs on an old home. Like windows, roof etc. they have done some bits but its mostly decorating when you look! And most of garden was gifted was it not? Or she spent up on that thinking they’d be there for longer and now panic stations have set in

She moved when Alf (aka her first cash cow) was born right? So she obv assumed he’d be making her loads of money now she was a mummy influencer. That didn’t work and Alf didn’t really fit the Instagram image so she had precious baby Ad as a last roll of the dice. Ada hasn’t brought in much work so maybe now they really are screwed and can’t afford the mortgage. I hate to say it, but it serves Ashley right for pimping out her children and literally having them exclusively for content and her own financial gain.
 
I’m pretty sick of mum influencers banging on about how hard motherhood is like they’re some beacon for mothers everywhere. There’s been a weird shift lately on social media since the pressure to become “relatable” where it’s now unheard of to say you enjoy being a Mum! Like if you’re not desperately struggling, resenting the challenge, pining for your old pre baby life then you’re not doing it right. I think insta Mums all too often have had kids they don’t really want because they thought it would be a cute insta aesthetic and those are the people who struggle with the reality, because everyone I know in real life on the whole really enjoys parenting (not every aspect but overall) and bar the odd day of thinking “ahhh remember our lie ins” don’t mope about the life they left behind. It’s bizarre and even worse that this word vomit is out there for their kids to read how resented they were!

A big part of it is that she’s got too much to sit around and think. I work a pretty high powered and busy job, my child is in nursery & in the week, the spare time that I do get is spent between life admin, home stuff, my relationship, me, my friends and other family.

Equally stay at home parents do the above plus having their child at home with them.

Ashley is neither one nor the other. The nanny is there looking after Ada or she has her strapped into the doona. She “works” a few hours a week, mainly sat in her bed or on her sofa. She only goes out and about with other people (Tommy, NNB, or to see her one friend). Or she will walk 5 mins away to the library for an hour. That’s it.

It’s going to get worse once Ada is in childcare. She won’t do it but she needs to be busier. Gives you less time to miss the lie ins and bottomless brunch 🤣
 
Time with two kids and her partner is “so bloody intense”. Ok then. I guess the answer to “Can you cope?” Is “No”.

Poor Ash had to stay up until 1am to wash off her tan and have me time. What happened to the hours inbetween 1 and whenever she had the tan while the kids were in bed?! She’s always such a martyr.

This whole travelling thing is one last go at adding another string to her tit broken bow. It’s all for content and in hope for more freebies. Why else would you get a spray tan to visit your sister who’s just given birth and probably feeling like a sack of tit?
Why wouldn’t you hop on a relatively quick flight which would have the kids best interests at heart? All very peculiar. Kate Lawlers tried it and it’s backfired hugely. She’s had to make a reel justifying her shocking choices 😳
