Gosh I actually forgot how old they are now. How long do you think he'll be able to drag this out for? I predict a #ad for a toy store coming up this weekend...unless all of brands have finally come to their senses...

I think the #ad's have seriously dried up. The Emirates one was already arranged. We haven't even been treated to a Gousto #ad since the scandal broke!
 
Off topic, but talking about eco/inexpensive Christmases from previous thread ... I don’t usually mind theonlygirlinthehouse, or at least haven’t followed her long enough to form much opinion, but in her stories today/yesterday she described how they spend about £100 per boy and that’s about right, then in the same breath says ‘not to insult anyone who over indulges or spends a lot of money at Christmas, that they just don’t’ (I’m paraphrasing).
Ahem. £100 each kid when you have five kids? That’s meant to be an inexpensive Christmas?
 
I've bought and I'm done shopping:

Sister 1: paddington on ice tickets. A box of ferrero rochers. £21+£5
Sister 2: Lindnt chocolate, paddington on ice ticket and £20 starbucks gift card = £44
Friend: Shortbread biscuits and a book set for his daughter =£25
Aunt : flowers = £23

I don't buy for my parents as awful as that sounds or brother as we've agreed no presents!

I’ve never forgotten when they did a house party for new neighbours and they had an actual Parma ham on a gondola ham stand. What a way to impress new neighbours 🙄

My large not even fancy supermarket (ie not waitrose or M&S) actually also have these on sale at the moment.
 
Exploiting a twin hasn’t helped recover numbers.

Noticed this effect with online “celebs” creators - they reach saturation and then just decline. Saw it happen to a number of once popular US Youtubers - most just flog their one trick pony to death. Brand OD on that trajectory now.

I was fairly nonplussed about Jess Warner until I saw her promoting and liking PTWM . I then started regarding her as just another IG Klingon , desperate to stay relevant and loved by internet strangers so I now dislike her.
 
I'm still otterly (get it 🤨) that he doesn't know which twin is which.

I find FOD condescending. I'm a mother to 4 and he aggravates the tit out of me, telling me what I should and shouldn't be doing.
Where the duck does he get off?
I look back at my timehop posts from at least 5 years ago and cringe at some of the stuff I shared on fb. How I worded my statuses and reported on activities just to have something to post.
FOD seriously needs to self evaluate and think about what he posts and how it will age. I can guarantee, the posts about his chidren will not age beautifully 😖

I feel the same about my pre and post kid statuses and now try not to write anything because I invariably sound like a total tosser 😂
