How can Ocado be happy with that!!!! All she said was it’s easy to add to cart! Tap tap! And they have her fake tan! Nothing about the smart pass, reserved - which is the recurring weekly order you can set up, delivery prices and times, the app, the brands they stock, nothing to sell Ocado to potential customers!
I was thinking exactly the same. I have made two Ocado orders since breaking my wrist (I was an online food shop virgin before) and could write about my experience.

Wondering why Lydia and Ali rely so heavily on grocery delivery? Why don't they just go to the grocery store weekly and pick up what is needed? They have the time, and I'm sure live near supermarkets. Is this not a thing in England? Is it more common to order for delivery? They are making such a big deal about switching to waitrose like it's an exclusive ordering situatioon and sometimes they talk about being out of food waiting for their delivery day.
They are just far too busy! Actually, I think Ali has to do the shopping, along with everything else, because madam is too lazy and he's probably had enough or been away so much. I'm sure Lidl thought Ocado was still partnering with Waitrose and not M&S though.
I doubt I will be continuing with online deliveries after my wrist has healed but it does seem quite popular.

I thought with any type of partnership like this the brand has certain criteria that you have to fill, eg. show the website, explain certain things, mention a link to go to etc. And if you don’t tick all those boxes they won’t approve the content? Is there any actual proof that this is a real collaboration? Could all just be our loony Lidl making it up 🙄

I bet this was why the video didn't go out on Monday... probably initially rejected by ocado.
 
Those skirts were the most interesting moment for me. Must be the heath. While she was puzzling about different lengths, it all seemed so perfectly logical - right length (toile de jouy is supposed to be worn with flats), slightly longer (to allow low to medium heel that go well with thick stripes) and gingham one being the longest to allow good wedge that suits this style and can be warn with stripes as well. I liked those skirts. I didn't like Carrie's brows.
Haha I liked the skirts too! Though I think the striped one is still too long. I liked Carrie's brows too... Gee, am I turning into a *gasp* fan?

...Nah you're alright.

Hope everyone has been coping with the heat... We are still thinking of you, @Hunevoque2 & Snoopy. Sending love.
 
Is that the dress Carrie was wearing the other week - half the comments were people asking about it. The vlog where Lidl was shaming Carrie for having her bra on show.
Ah she's got a sponsor with Ocado but Patricia Bright has a deal with Waitrose. breathe chicken breathe!

This might appear twice, phone playing up sorry team...
Saw that, kept thinking ocado and Waitrose really ought to give people who shop there discounts. Giving influencers free food at this time is actually very off putting.
Ocado and Lidl, local shops (where I live I have a few good ones that are cheap too) are my go to. On occasions like birthdays or Christmas catch me at Waitrose. I have noticed that Waitrose is pushing diversity at the moment which is nice. As a woc I appreciate it but their selection of Patricia who I adore is wrong. She barely cooks. I have seen a stir fry from her but never watched her cook and thought I must try that, whereas the likes of Ana Edit at least cooks and I have tried some of her recommendations (BBC's 'help yourself salad' is good one). They could have gone with Rachel Ama for example who cooks amazing vegan dishes and her chanel is mostly cooking. I would pay more attention to Rachel than Patricia. Also I don't watch Patricia as much as I used to as I feel she's not really into her YouTube as much and has actually admitted it's mostly for ads, watch Ali Abdaal interview which is actually a good interview. I can't really trust her opinion on anything and find that she's truly a hustler which has worked in her favour and I am proud of her success but I just don't find her knowledgeable...she scratches the surface on most things and nothing more. Even her money Chanel is hilarious, personally I would rather watch Humble Penny, Financial Diet and Mamafurfur*, you are actually getting help and learning about money. Sorted food you are actually learning, Rachel Ama you are learning I could go on. Fluffy influencers no longer cut it, maybe I am just getting old. I digress...
As for Ms Millen herself and ocado, her cooking credentials are worse than ms Bright. I just don't understand, who is in charge of selecting influencers for some of these companies. Ocado are you okay? For both companies they could have sponsored Sorted Food, Jolly, even chicken connoisseur, but they went for Lydia... How, why, make it make sense ocado. Explain your decision. As a customer this is enough to put me off, especially since you barely give discounts to people who regularly shop with you. Rant over. Don't worry I'll get my jacket.

Wait, what! Someone please fill me in on her verbally abusing a pregnant hairdresser?
I emailed Dissh clothing when she appeared in my inbox. I went on to the Dissh insta, most of her pics have disappeared, but one. There used to be quite a few. I just said as customer they should think about who is representing their brand. I love Dissh and seeing them push her for clothes that would be sold eventually, I was like nah...I wonder if ocado would listen. Now back to watching the take down of Murad mureli*

Watched two mins and it is clear she filmed this a while ago! So why no video Monday!

the Ocado beg worked then! She admits the cupboard is bare! I’ve shopped with Ocado for over ten years and it’s not a luxurious indulgent experience!!!
It truly is not. Not watched the video but, she probably thinks they still have the deal they had with Waitrose. And she's never mentioned marks and Spencer before their new partner...que the mention or actually ocado come to your senses. She can't cook

They are a really, really, really, really, busy couple

They only have the following stores to chose from in their immediate area for grocery shopping:
Tesco
Waitrose
Aldi
Co-op
Budgens
B&M Store
Nisa Store
These Stores are all within a 8/15 min drive from their Hamlet House

Additional small M&S attached to garage on A43 - around 15/18 mins

I’m excluding nearby Farm Shop, Garden Centres, Bakery and Deli shops

They only have 3 road vehicles to choose from to drive to these grocery outlets
I’m sure a horse may be purchased in due course to gallop across the fields or a neighbouring farm shop or perhaps canter through the McDonalds drive through 🐎🍔🍟

As there are seven days in a week and only 24 hrs in a day - it’s understandable that they cannot find the time to prioritise a grocery replenishment shop
However, I’m pleased they manage to pick up a sour dough loaf when they visit Soho Farmhouse. At least they can survive on bread and water until the next kitchen garden harvest 😏
 
So it's been said she has no money and pretends to be wealthy, but free food is just disgusting when families are struggling to put food on the table 😡 she is disgusting 😡
Just shaking my head at both ocado gifting free food during current times. So so off putting.

Just proves this witch will shop where ever she gets a freebie. She used to be an Asda shopper and was so pathetically excited when she started to shop at Waitrose (what took her so long). But obvs her constant mentions about Waitrose did not work so she has now defected to Ocado who have paid for her full shop (shame on you Ocado). Let’s see how long this relationship lasts.

Seeing this has made me want to not shop at Ocado anymore and I may well rethink my options because this really is a disgrace. To me it looks like that shop is a £250-£300 haul 🤢 She has certainly taken advantage of the situation.

I think she has succumbed to Covid. If she has why doesn’t she bleeping admit it.
You are spot on its roughly that much. I shop there too.Its Def that much.
 
Lydia wanted to show all of you tattlers who have been commenting….that she has not sold or returned her black birkin…. it’s sitting on the back of a shelf unused. 🤔

Lol exactly! I too will online shop when needed and no shade to those who do regularly especially if you need to or just want to.

Ijust find it odd that Lydiot who have so much time and assssistants act like they HAVE to online food shop. As if they are too rural or too busy or are forced to. They are out of food but the delivery isn’t for a few days “moan” and order in. They “moan” about substitutions to thier order. They act like online shopping at one store vs another is a luxury all the while we know they eat ready made meals from another company, frozen pizza and fries, cheese and dried pasta and take out. Never any fresh food and preformed burgers and frozen pasta are something to brag about with husband watching. It’s weird

Because I have MS and housebound I do online shopping, but years ago when I was able I always went to Sainsburys in person (loved having a look at the homewear section 😁) to do my shopping, still would if I was able.

Maybe they didn't want it to sound like an ad and this was their try at looking more genuine. Like "oh I happen to do my food shop on ocado" casually. 🤷‍♀️
 
The difference in everyone else's bbq's to the Millen-morons is unreal. you see roasted Salmon, sausages, chicken etc, colourful salads, dips, different breads, different colourful drinks etc.......
All you get will the Millen-morons is beige boring food with no colour or imagination. Also people have bbq's with family and friends, Lydiot and Aldi just are the lonesome twosome 😂
