I could be wrong but so thought in one of the recent vlogs either Alex or Lydia said she had just finished her long shift as a nurse. I think she is a nurse who decided to do injectables too.


The photo of their garden looks like post war Britain.


Her neighbours must hate her if they are creating that much noise in the morning. I bet they have more machinery in to ruin the rest of the garden.

I think it’s the Main road creating all that noise so I expect they’re used to it. Although as you say, all that machinery noise doesn’t help. Bet they’re having a right old laugh next door ref Savoy.

I found this on the nicholsons website. I guess they will look better in the spring but I don’t know how to think about how these look on her patio and with all of the huge furniture, that house, giant light posts, public pathways, coffin beds, tiny victims style greenhouse, the rat igloo, McDonald’s arch and cousin it bushes.

Excellent sleuthing as always Julia. I'm still not sold though. It's quite a unique 'lewk' isn't it? lol. (I realise that these things are all subjective of course...)

Scale has always been her weakest point! The two separate Malus look like rotary clothes dryers…ugly! If I was buying that house I’d take one look at the garden and think ‘this is gonna’ cost a lot to sort out’. Then I’d start imagining what needs taking out and what needs to be re-planted in the right place. Starting with the overscaled bollards (municipal car park lighting) and the ridiculous Beech sentinels. It will look too busy and your eye won’t be able to settle. Too many big objects in a small space. I know she calls her garden ‘grounds’ but at the end of the day it’s a relatively small garden. I would not thank you for provided outdoor cooking apparatus because of the small mammal, rat, insect problems associated with them. People are funny about eating food cooked outside in an area where there is clearly wildlife. Even the birds cause problems (obviously). It probably won’t get used (like the raised beds) so total waste of money and the people who buy the house will probably remove most of it. This is only my opinion others may feel differently. I would say it’s been a hard job for the designer at Nicholson’s to incorporate all of the brief she has given as normally you would never chuck all these individual features together in a small space. I guess she went in with her shopping list of stuff she’d seen over the years elsewhere and liked and said “this is what I want“. I bet they don’t use many photos from this garden in their promotional blurb. There is a feel of chaos and incongruity about the garden imho. It’s heroically over-egged.

Sitting here reading what you've written and nodding in complete agreement!!!
 
My gosh, I have not been on the Lidl threads in a hot minute.
Who knew she could shoot herself in the foot quite like this?

I want to take scissors to her hair - not as an act of violence, mind you, but I can't believe the latest version of getting Despinad is to look like you're greying and have just finished sweeping the floors with your head. Nothing wrong with going grey, but I hadn't realised people PAY to look this way - or, in Lidl'scase, beg. Her hair has never looked worse and it was in such nice condition while Nicky was looking after it.

She should stop whatever she's doing to her face. She looks so much worse than she did even just 2 years ago, just stop fucking around with your face, stop fucking around with your house, your garden, fix your toilets, put your doors up, let your man have a shed and some dignity, grow a personality and some compassion. Get some hobbies outside of pretending to be rich and shopping!
 
Someone mentioned previously about how little you earn from TikTok and I just saw this. Despite the views, Lidl won’t be earning anything really from that platform.
I’m sure she will continue to earn Adsense money from YT, but that is peanuts compared to the sponsorships on YT and Instagram, plus we can all see her views are dropping.

Lydia has been used to making tens of thousands a month from sponsorships and I suspect the few brands still left, all cancelled on her last week. Hence the ‘I’m not doing Black Friday’ post.

She might well make a few grand a month in Adsense and for many that would be fine. Lydia has delusions of grandeur and has to keep up with the Jones though. The huge drop income will be devastating AND if she’s thinking about moving house, she can kiss goodbye to getting a mortgage without her dad as guarantor, let alone a larger mortgage for the Cotswolds mansion she dreams of.

Lydia, you may be pretending all is ‘spectacular/ wonderful/exquisite’ at the monent, but the damage has been done and you will really notice in the coming few months. You will forever be ‘that tone deaf Savoy woman’ - a bit little Elle Darby was that blogger who begged for hotel stays (until the latest racism scandal)

This is a little off-savoygate topic, but something that I spotted when watching one of the vlogs randomly a while ago..

She was giving the guys working in her garden Fortnum and Mason biscuits. She said something along the lines of, I don't know why I want to give them F&M but I just like doing that for them.

And then I remember that time when some other tradespeople (can't remember, maybe some decorators? there have been so many) broke some fancy mugs that she gave them to use.

These people don't expect that - they're busy, they're doing a very physical job and they don't want to have to be cautious and worry about not smashing a mug that costs an insane amount of money. Equally, they don't expect to be getting a pack of F&M biscuits which can cost like £15 a packet - they're just after the fuel/energy it gives them and of course, it's a nice thoughtful gesture. I know some tradespeople get FA when they're working somewhere.

But, to get to my point... she feels like she has something to prove to the people she's employing - but in my opinion, these guys don't care and are just there to do a job but she wants to paint this illusion that she's so wealthy that she can give these people all these fancy things. When in real fact, most normal people would realise the true value of these items, especially as is usually is #kindlygifted. She doesn't realise that offering a set of biscuits that cost that much money, is just unnecessary and a bit insane. By all means, get your tradespeople some nice biscuits - like Fox's as opposed to supermarket own, but to give them something of that value is just insane.

And the reason why she feels she has to show off to the people working on her home is because she has very few people in her life whom she can show off this 'wealth' too. It's not like she's got a big group of similarly-minded friends who can experience her luxury mugs and offer after-dinner F&M biscuits.... so the only people she can share that with are the people she has employed.

... or maybe that's me 😂

By the way, I hope this doesn't come across as disrespectful to tradespeople - I hope I got my point across that I mean it only for when they're working on a job - they're not going to be expecting their clients best china which is what I feel she gives them.

Not to mention the entitlement, "she likes to do this for them" as if she's giving chocolate to the poor peasants who could never dream of coming upon such delicacy - when, in fact, a good chunk of tradespeople earn fairy well, definitely better than my cushy office job ass, but they don't put on the airs due to that. Ali should know, wasn't he an electrician? Did he also salivate at the posh biscuits when on the job or did he not give a f?

Or on their expensive clothing, jewelry, and belts when said pricey perfume will definitely degrade those fancy objects. Perfume goes on the body after bathing and moisturizing.

I actually didn't know this, but it makes perfect sense now that I think about it. Not that I have expensive perfumes or clothes anyway. Will definitely be giving myself a spritz before getting dressed now, that's if I am wearing any perfume at all.

I thought she would post something and say it was taken out of context and she didn't mean it, actually the trip was already arranged blah blah blah, then she could have said I understand the current climate and say she will be doing one or 2 charitable things over vlogmas and that might get some people off her back. I think it is too late in the day now plus as she is replying to comments it is almost making it worse.

I do hope she is ok (i am no fan but I can't help but think of caroline flack and the way the media just go in on her).

She could have saved some face, definitely, but then she doubled down and pretty much provided a "it's not my fault you're poor" excuse.
She gives me Yzma vibes:

Lydia fell in love with Ali when she was a simpleton with a spot of a brain but not much for striving. She’s always had hunger and a little brains but lacks follow through. Ali, by contrast, has little smarts, decent self-awareness, and loads of follow through, but is a poor judge of character. That’s why they are a perfect pair. She gets him to do her bidding and he’s not to bothered by it because she’s afforded him a lifestyle he enjoys. He goes completely with her flow, but his little smarts sometimes get in the way and cause his minor annoyances at her.

That is such an apt description of them and their relationship dynamic.
In saying that, however, I notice even Ali has become a bit tired of her antics, she's probably worn him down a bit and now he takes digs at her from time to time. He also generally looks less healthy than before so it might be taking a physical toll on him but that's what happens when you have a Dementor for a wife.

I think the "whatever happened to being kind" gives it away as referring to Lydia, doesn't it? What do I know.

One thing is definite - that profile pic bears absolutely no resemblance to the person that I've seen in Linda's vlogs.

Can someone tell me what 'dissolving' is? Is it anything to do with the death ego? Ego death? What is it again? lol. 😂

I think shes referring to dissolving fillers which is exactly what Linda needs doing to get rubber bike face…
