Lydia babes. I’m not Allison or Grammy Bears but I root for people to win. Including you. If you just had a little humility and apologized for your behavior with Nicky Lazou, the beautiful and successful beauty entrepreneur, much would be forgiven. But instead you dig your heels in and this time throw your actually successful and grounded siblings under the bus on a very public forum (what the whole F was that my fellow tattlers?).

Josie and you need to atone too. Josie just apologize for having a very narrow and racist world view and again much will be forgiven.
 
Good Morning and welcome to today!🌹

This morning (having slept on it) finds me still shocked and at odds with the horrible idea that Lydia was likening her experience on TIkTok to a holocaust victim or indeed a survivor. I am still not sure where to put this or how to process it. A large part of me wants to think that isn’t what she meant.

Half of my family are German. I have never been able to deal with anything to do with the genocide that took place. I can’t read about it or watch anything on TV about it. It just fills me with a weird feeling that has no name. 🤷‍♀️

So today, the chicken is breathing but the feathers might need a bit of a wash and blow dry so that they feel right again. Might have to get my dear @MissMidnight to take us both to Turkey in the Pre-loved and find the hairdresser @Miscanthus told us about. I refuse to do yoga though. There is no virtue in being a bendy chicken...no matter how Oran(ge) the slandals are...

Peace...✌

Thank you 🥰
Bendy.....I think I need an osteopath! 🤣
Swishy....I can report back that I was able to have a wash and blow dry in Turkey for £6!

Also, the local shops were full of fakes...CD book bag, Hermes Oran slandals, you name it, they've got it!
I'm thinking of becoming an influencer 🤔 View attachment 1334142 q

Girls (and @Stefano, obvs), OT but I forgot to add that you can get your waxing done cheaply in Turkey too. Don't get taken by surprise, like my friend, and expect them to understand the concept of 'bikini line'. It seems it's ALL or nothing! 🤣

Reading this post has completely knocked me sideways. I had no idea that was what she was talking about. I don’t know what to say. 😢

I'm stunned too.

I don't know why but I thought she was talking about Martha Stewart and her time in prison. There was no one else I could think of.....

WTAF?! She really cannot be comparing herself to a Holocaust survivor. That's beyond the pale....

@Oops @Miscanthus You both are living your best Coastal Perrenial Grammy Bear lives in your English rose gardens of dreams. Have you woken up to do a Vaha workout at the earliest hours of 7:59 AM? What’s next on the schedule? A free horse back ride?

🤣 we really are!
I am doing Sun salutations as I type. It's 6am and I will be visiting the greenhouse in a linen frock before drinking homemade lemonade....if I can work out how to use the soda siphon! 😁

Va ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Don’t make me laugh...

I am about to change for the second time this morning (My garden inspection Zimmerman is now ready for the wash) and then I will be joining the Union of Catholic Grandmothers for a bit of driftwood chiselling before I go on to run a charity bric-a-brac stall at the village fete. This year it’s in aid of Accent Transplants for the Poor.

After that it’s lunch with the Archbishop, mid-afternoon sherry with the Dowager in the Dower House near the gates to the estate and then Chef arrives to cook a kitchen supper for 11. Oh, I think I’m booked in for a manicure at 4 o clock but I may have got my Saturdays mixed up....

Darling, please don’t touch the soda siphon! You know what happened last time with your weak wrists. We need you to judge the best Scarecrow Competition later on the Village Green. (Mine‘s the one with the Hermes scarf btw🥇). You will need to be able to use your arms to present the prizes. Xx

Darling, last time I attended your village fete I won a prize in the Scarecrow Competition! Admittedly I was a bit dishevelled, having fallen in the shrubbery after a few gins! My hat had fallen over my eyes and I was waving my arms around; my hair was a bit straw-like as my Turkish hairdresser had missed her flight and my stockings were round my ankles after briefing my handsome young gardener!
This is the very reason I have been asked to present the awards this year!
I will put down the soda siphon immediately. Looking forward to seeing you later in your Hermes scarf. Now where are my spectacles? 🤔
 
The way she was creaming over the hotel suite was franking EMBARRASSING! Yes it was a lovely suite but any normal person would just say 'oh this is wonderful thank you very much' and leave it at that. You cant pretend to be posh and then go manic over a hotel suite THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN! as posh people wouldn't bat an eyelid.

* Cancel the removal lorries...Lidl isn't moving!
* We've asked the men in white coats to take her to the loony bin instead....she's displaying signs of multiple personality disorder and terminal fibbing.
* Lidl has reinvented herself as an #EnglishCountryGrandmother. For a 34 year old 'Italian' living near Milton Keynes I'd say that's a stretch.
* Or is it Coastal Grandma in landlocked Northamptonshire?
* She's now copying Rosie the Londoner and stalking Sheer Luxe and the Duchess of Cambridge.
* Lidl did a Tiktok where she described her life in her faux posh accent...except it was all a big fat lie.... She said:
- she steers clear of trends and big name brands...and it seems, the truth. Last time I looked she had a growing Hermes collection, the Daxon 😁 dog of the moment x 2 and a Defender!
- she drives a Defender. It might be on the drive but she doesn't drive it. She drives a contract Range Rover or The Aston
- she has a horse. I think owner Claud might argue with that. Of course, if she wanted a horse she could "pick one up for £700".
- she dresses in timeless style. No, you shop in Boohoo, Erdem and Zimmerman for floral Amish dresses.
- she prefers country pubs to named restaurants. Funny, I could have sworn you are constantly eating in London but slagging off your local pubs.
- she has 'antiques' in her house..... but shows a photo of an antique shop.
- she spends time in the great outdoors. Does that mean sitting on the curb waving a bottle of wine or stomping across farmers' fields?
- she shops at farm shops. No, you shop at Asda and Waitrose' essential range.
You too can have this life for very little money...if you beg for everything!
* Lidl forgot she can't control the comments on TikTok and had a meltdown rant trying to address them! Unfortunately she forgot that she "always tries to understand things from others' perspective"!
* After showing off about ordering bespoke features for her contract Range Rover (a facility for all customers), she's now downgraded the spec, saving £5K. Meanwhile Grossie's RR has arrived. Hee hee!
* Work is starting in the 'grounds' with a new patio. They are also having an outdoor kitchen which is 'moveable'. That'll be a camping stove then!
* We celebrated Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, and her lifetime of service. Lidl celebrated "Queen Lizzie's" anniversary with a pasta lunch for her bff Cawwie and boyfriend, and croquet on the lawn.
* While she was happy to merch Amazon decorations through her blog, the Union Flag didn't suit her Assthetic!

Wooo! Thanks for the thread title guys 😁

I did clip the part where she mentions the podcast but it won't upload, but she starts talking about it from about minute 40:20 .. can anyone confirm what she is referencing from the quote?

Also not sure why she thinks ex council house is derogatory or lower.... a house is a house built from bricks and mortar for a family to live in. Because it was built to house a family on a lower income does not make it any lesser. A lot of ex-council houses in this country are built very well and are very spacious compared to what you'd get new build nowadays. Bet the plumbing worked fine too Lydia 🤔
