Have been thinking about starting a thread on her for a while.

I started off really liking her content, the cook with CSG, her Spotify playlist, it all felt a bit different to the usual instahun fodder...

but now I have mixed feelings, does anyone else follow her?
 
I liked her for all the same things.. now she does bug me a little bit as she seems to get offended by anyone calling her out. Thought she handled it badly when someone reported her for not following the posting rules
 
She is really defensive about anything that isn't 100%positive - so anyone who commented that she looked too thin (even though she has recently admitted that she was too thin a few months ago), about not being clear about ads (despite making a big thing that insta is her job, she consistently doesn't declare ads properly), and also she got proper arsey with anyone asking about her private life/ relationship (even though it was obvious she'd split up from her partner) but spends months posting sad quotes about relationships and then starts about going on dates 🙄 Honestly if you don't want people to comment don't bloody mention it!
I also think she's started to show far too much of her children, especially the youngest. Cynically I wonder if that's either to grow her account, or it's to get back at her ex.

It's annoying because I did really like her last year and now she mainly annoys me for all the above reasons!

Agree with all of this! She made a comment that she's not out to trick anyone / just trying to put food on the table etc about the ad posting - but that's literally the argument for every influencer and if it's your job then do it properly. If I didn't follow the rules at my job, then I'd be called out on it too.
 
That really gets my goat - if insta is just a hobby then not knowing the 'rules', whilst not great is more forgiveable, but once you make it your job (and openly say that it is your job) then you need to do stuff correctly!

At least I've found someone else who agrees with me about her 😂

I'm surprised more people haven't come by this thread!
 
Me too!
Not a fan of her outfit for Festival of Speed, nothing matches and it's all a bit drab...not that anyone will dare say anything negative in the comments as she will end up shaming them on her stories!

I did think it was going to be a bit more 'wow', it's such a fun event with lots of cool vintage outfits. I feel like she would wear this anyway of the week 🤷🏼‍♀️
 
Still gutted it's only 2 of us on this thread!

I think this holiday is a freebie, she keeps tagging the hotel but of course not marking it as an ad as she never does because she doesn't think she has to 🙄🙄 also I'm sure this is at least her 3rd holiday this year. Clearly this full time instahun game pays well, I work ft in a management role and can't afford 3 holidays a year!

Also it bugs me calling her child a toddler (I swear they all started doing this once Hinch did it). I feel that she's posting about this holiday purely for validation so everyone messages her saying how brave she is taking 3 kids away on her own, even though 2 of them are mid teens, not like she's taken 3 preschoolers.

I might have to unfollow. It really feels like the uniqueness of her account has gone. Even the clothes aren't as good/ different any more (I really don't want to see those nasty TK Maxx flip flops again either!)

A csg thread! Is it me or did she go from being with her husband to going on TT talking about being Catfished? I got whiplash as I hadn’t seen her mention a break up.

Yes - I only follow her on Insta (although possibly not for much longer) - on there she put up stories over a few weeks about having some personal issues/ going through a difficult time, feeling upset, blah blah - so lots of hints that her relationship had broken down but didn't actually say it - although I think most people guessed. Oh, and had a right go at anyone asking about it :rolleyes: and yeah , then without ever acknowledging they'd split up next minute she's talking about going on dating apps and dates!

So glad it’s not just me. She’s incredibly beautiful and I do think she could be really successful but she needs a thicker skin and maybe a personal private social media account where she can vent. I much prefer her to that Bath based one in the red lipstick, forgot her name.
 
They were in a car crash and then a few months later it was all over, they wrecked their Tesla I remember this because they were going to some type of awards show that night and were in suits . It was awful pretty bad crash

Used to like her but now I think she’s changed slightly doing more adds for stuff while I thought her whole thing was charity shop shopping

I agree, it's a lot of (mostly not properly declared) ads. The Alfa Romeo one is the worst, I still don't get why they have given her a car?! It's not really in line with charity shops, and they can't even claim an environmental angle as it's not an EV. Just so odd. I did wonder if her Ex worked there so that's why it was a freebie, but Im not sure if she got the car before or after they split 🤷‍♀️

I also think she shows her kids far too much (she never used to before she split with her ex).

It's a shame because I really liked her at first, but it does feel like not only her page but her personality has changed and not for the better. I get the feeling that in a friendship group she's the needy, draining one.
