The Aldi video has just popped into my Twitter feed again. People who (I assume) have no idea that she's grifted "only £600" off it already, was calling for the store manager to be sacked, was condoning talk of violence against the woman, or that the complaint has been resolved by Aldi including upholding her being barred from that branch, are still retweeting it. Currently 1.7m views.
Social media, where people kick off about a headline without having actually read the story, is fertile ground for scammers.
 
I really want to know how she’s burned through £1k in a week.

But Triple S! She’s in pOvErTy!!!!!

I’ve seen poverty, true poverty; I know what it looks like. I can tell you what it does not look like.

It does not look like:

- Trips to Alton Towers + hotel
- A caravan holiday and treats just weeks later
- £4 and £5 coffees out and about
- Hardly eating out - ALL MONTH! (As long as that!)
- Not being able to afford a £30 item of clothing that you want.
-
Being able to buy rugs, paints, lampshades, duvet covers etc. for a bedroom makeover.
- Consistent £400 monthly food shops
- The luxury of £700 on taxis
- Nike bags and trainers for school
- A warm, secure home
- Access to sanitary products
- Need I go on?

I’m not disputing that she’s on an incredibly low income and that’s hard to navigate at times and comes with a lot of sacrifice, but the lifestyle she describes is by no means poverty.

She does anyone in real poverty a disservice by promoting her relatively comfortable lifestyle as an example of what poverty looks like. It’s no wonder nobody believes poverty is real in the UK the way she bangs on.

ETA: She claims she’s buying school bags on the 3rd of Oct, then puts a screenshot up of 2 school bags she “just” bought on the 29th of Oct to “prove” she’s spending money she was just given for school uniform on school uniform. Her receipt isn’t dated though… funny that.

SCAM SCAM SCAMMY SCAMMER.

This is excellent work @byefeliciax. She’s a horror. The osmium density of someone claiming poverty sharing a pic of a five quid holiday brew to moan about the price. As others have said, her poverty line is an entitlement bar she’s raised so high the oxygen is thin. Which would explain a lot.
 
She might not have Michelle Mone’s millions, but she’s certainly got her audacity matched…

Synthetic does provide a more hospitable environment for dust mites. She’s a head but I can’t say she’s wrong for this.

If she’s bleeding that bad she should be on tranexemic acid tablets.
Fair comment - I was just basing it on my own childhood allergy issues, feathers were a no-no, always had foam pillows with double casing and old-fashioned wadding quilt. :) Plus I came back to say feather is so hard to wash and dry I would be loath to use them for kids' beds anyway, whereas a decent quality microfibre in cotton outer will wash and tumble on the regular whether for mites or accidents.
Seems to me like she's going for what's fancy and pricey to make herself feel important, not for what's practical (and still warm).

Latex rubber is good but pricey.

I used to suffer terribly from allergies, and swapped from feather to latex pillows. Then I learned that I was also allergic to latex, when I woke up with a head like a peeled watermelon.


(If only latex condoms came with an anaesthetic, the swelling would be welcome without the pain)

(sorry - I can't find the mither spoiler option)
