God Brentwood isn’t the end of the earth and if you’ve such good friends they’d meet near Liverpool Street or Stratford (half hour or 45 min journey across London is nothing for Londoners on a night out) so you could easily jump on the train home. Surely all of her friends have also moved on and aren’t still living in one same neighbourhood?! Most people put the kids to bed and enjoy whatever peace and quiet they have left of the evening after housework, actual work and life admin. Perhaps if Ash’s days were more taxing and fulfilling than eye bleeping herself and getting 90s ringlets done to film herself trying on supermarket clothes she would find some quiet enjoyment in the calm evenings!!

Ah she d wanna give over ! My childless friends used to come and have sleep overs all the time. Help me put my bambino to bed so as to see him then we’d have a glass of vino and they d catch me up all the news. Even better she doesn’t have to be at a desk for 9 am. She’s baffling. She ll never be happy. It’s all bullshit. I’m a DJ. Would ya stop. The DJs I know have a great time. Male and female. The musicians I know. All get babysitters. Hook up locally and further afield. Make it work. Esp if you have a house which can accommodate guests and plenty of resources. I kept a foot in the two camps as a young mum. It just takes imagination. She’s so boring.
oh bore off Ash. you're not lonely because you don't see your friends. you're lonely because you don't have any. she's making out like she's in the sticks but as we know from Rightmove she's half an hour from London - not that hard for them to visit or for you to see them. they're in London a lot on the weekends and she's rarely meeting up with friends then.
also fwiw, im a single woman in my late 20s and I, like every other person in London on a Monday, in fact was at home watching TV eating a half arsed dinner with my housemates. granted I had come back from an orchestra rehearsal which is a sociable activity for me, I've got lots of friends there. BC I unlike ash have friends and I have hobbies.
what's astounding is the lack of self awareness and respect you must have to essentially admit publicly that no one likes you enough to make plans with you. I'm embarrassed for her.

She needs to admit to herself it’s not about friends, not real ones, it’s her desire to see and be seen. She’s said she didn’t have anyone to just chill with, she was lonely when she wasn’t out partying. She gets her validation from getting her face in newspapers and turning up to the opening of an envelope while mingling with all the other wannabes and hangers on and cosying up to whoever’s most likely to get them in the paper. It must be bleeping exhausting.
ETA: wrote that earlier and it didn’t post, now seems like we’re all on the same page with it not being friends. Wonder if Char and Steph her besties have fallen out with her again?

I think she thinks she does have friends because she doesn’t know what good friends are. Steph came to see her once in 18 months. Ash has been to London a couple of times to have lunch with friends in that time. Her mistake was not to even try to make friends with people in the area. She’s so dismissive of mums in general and hasn’t wanted to go to the baby clubs to try and find someone she could make friends with.
Also what she doesn’t realise is that now is probably the easiest time to go out. When your children can’t really talk and shouldn’t really have any problems. Just you wait Ash - when your child gets older and wants to talk to you about problems at school etc you should be there to discuss these things - not nipping off to fancy dinners on a regular basis. I feel children need you more as they are older. Not for co- sleeping or breastfeeding but to talk to and for guidance.

Always amazes me these ‘friends’ are never on her IG posts either
Some of the comments she gets my friends would be jumping on them replying on my behalf

This! And I don’t see her commenting on her friends posts either. I don’t actually believe she did meet with friends for lunches. The norm these days is to tag the friends you’re with. So her friends don’t have Instagram then? More likely she was on her own, took a photo of her wine and no one would be any wiserAlways amazes me these ‘friends’ are never on her IG posts either

I've only ever lived in the north so I've no idea if things are different in London but hasn't covid just.. changed things? More people working remotely, less people working in the city and wanting to stay out for drinks/food after work, people can't be arsed getting dressed up on a week night and travel into the city for an event.
my work is in the city centre (of Manchester) and it used to be the most social environment, constant spontaneous after work drinks and nights out and partying but now most people can't even be bothered to come in for a work social that's been planned in advance. People's priorities have changed.
I think age also has played a part now I - and most people I know - have entered our mid 30s but yeah. Ash is stuck in the past. I can't wait for her to drag her family to london and for her to be like "OK! Woop! So where is the party at tonight?!?" and be met with silence

Not to mention the cost of living crisis. Rents and mortgages through the roof. Christmas around the corner. No one’s frivolous on a midweek booze up anymore. We’re all trying to make ends meet, apart from her. Lord knows how. Students can’t even afford degrees let alone student night life like it used to be. Clubs and pubs are going bust in my area (north london). Her head is completely in the clouds!I've only ever lived in the north so I've no idea if things are different in London but hasn't covid just.. changed things?

Who's looking after the kids when they're back in London and she's on her nights out?
I think her version of a social life is turning up to a basic brand event after being pampered by her “glam team”, getting on the daily Mail, chatting to people from the latest reality series people are watching and then going home. Sometimes she might be pressing play on the music I guess. It’s not a real social life. I’ve been in that world myself, you see the same faces and everyone is drunk/on drugs so they all think they are best friends but really they are just all desperate for fame and IG clout.

Yes, and used what I’d written there to make her message threatening.
I can’t wait for her to drag her family to London only to live the same life she did in Essex
How often does she think she’s going to be living it up at night as a mum of 2 with her friends she barely sees at the minute who also have commitments and children??
Obviously no one is saying you stop socialising once you have children but she actually thinks she will step back into the life she lives as a 25 year old simply by moving to London. It’s delusional!

The fact she’s focused on the ‘iconic faces’ she appears alongside more than the actual MH campaign speaks volumes. This is only for her gain

Maybe she’s going to be single for six years (again)?
Also absolute shock that she “hates this chapter” around the exact same time as Alf. She loves lying in bed all day with a newborn binging reality Tv while everyone runs around her, then it flips the second she has to do any parenting.
Get ready for 12 months of crying selfies! Yawn.
Also “especially with the news today”?? Sorry wtf, she’s feeling extra miserable with her life, her two children tucked up safe in her 1.5 million home and the news of the atrocities has made her aware of her loneliness rather than grateful?
Plus has it ever occurred to her that Tommy wouldn’t have to work so much in the evenings if she did a bit more of the parenting? She can’t moan that she goes to bed early because a there’s nothing else to do, but then pretend she’s so busy with a baby that she can’t do the mornings or nursery pick up and dinner!
---
She does the same thing every time there’s a rare occasion when he goes out for the night, she’s actually a very controlling partner!
Who remembers Tommy saying he was only ever allowed out to watch a world cup match if he managed to like up one of his family members to come and sit with ash? duck me the poor man has 3 children to babysit!

Ahh so now we know what fuelled the “I’m miserable” rant … TNB had the audacity to see a friend!

If the shoe was on the other foot and Tommy didn’t like Ashley seeing her friends, making her move so he could see more of his friends there would be absolute uproar
I think Ash is in for a big surprise when they up root and move to London and then nothing changes… if these “friends” are so important to her where have they been for the past 3 years?? They love her so much but they can’t even make the journey once a month to come and have dinner with their best mate that’s just had a baby?? Or come and have a takeaway with her? But she’s moving her whole life for them? Sure ok and she’s made zero effort to make “mum friends”locally which when you have kids you need ( even just for a rant) I find it very bizarre for such a modern woman ( HA!) she parents very much like a Victorian lady of the manor and after the birth someone else raises the children and don’t get me started on the “happy parent happy baby it’s a phrase that people throw out to cover everything they do when really it’s just being selfish half the time. I honestly can’t believe she’s taken herself to bed because she’s bored lol
I completely agree with all of this, especially the bit about “happy parent happy baby”. Obviously having a parent mentally fit and able to function is necessary but I think people are becoming more and more selfish, and as you say use this excuse to justify their actions. I could go off on a tangent and talk about this all day here but won’t!
Back to Ashley though, and how disgustingly self involved is she to sit complaining about being bored and how hard “this chapter” is when on the same day she is posting about innocent civilians, including babies (!!!!), being slaughtered in Israel. She gives off mega Meghan Markle vibes; when MM was in Africa on tour with Harry spouting off about how hard things were for her when she was literally standing in a place where children were being killed and losing limbs from land mines. What the actual duck is wrong with people.
I have two pre-school age children and all I hear from parents with school children and teenagers is how hard it sounds with the juggling, more complex parenting and dealing with the tough issues as the kids get older. Does she seriously think she can go out all the time while her children are in bed asleep? What kind of mother is she?! What about when they wake up poorly, or needing the toilet, or after a nightmare and she is nowhere to be seen? Off living her best bleeping life. She is so emotionally neglectful and selfish. She is also unbelievably privileged to have nothing to do at 7.30pm. Can’t she do her exercise then, or call her “friends” or hangout with Tommy when he gets home like a normal person?
