The Frugality #4 I spy with my little eye a secret second storey reaching up to the sky.

It’s probably not that deep, but I was taught it’s rude to refuse the blow-dry. You are a walking advertisement for the salon’s work and a random passerby seeing a patron leave with wet, half-done hair is not a good reflection of their business.

Just get a dry cut?
That's what I do because blow dying adds nothing to my hair

She has the most skewed view of saving money. Going for a nice brunch with a friend is a “treat” and viewed as so luxurious and unusual. But going on ANOTHER shopping spree today is totally fine and normal. She shops more than anyone I know!

But, she was buying ‘useful’ gifts!

I really do wonder what her friends and family think of getting yet another bundle of shite pound shop candles wrapped in a bow.

Just because it’s Tiger doesn’t make it any less pound shop.

Remember her hair curling tutorial it was worse than the eyeliner tutorial.

If I was her I’d let the hairdresser do it

omg it along the lines of the famous video of Anne Widdecombe trying to curl her hair on celeb big brother!

 

[Greencatfysh]

Looks like she’s trying to hide where they had brunch as well. It’s the colony in Mayfair

I vacuum our play mat & occasionally wipe down with a baby wipe (it’s underneath a trampoline not a dinner table ) - if something gross was on it I’d just hose it down? How are they planning on keeping a deep pile rug clean under there? Why are they so gross?

It’s baffling, they want everything in house to be ’chic’ and fit in with ‘their style’, yet their house appears to be stuffed full of un-necessary crap, complete lack of storage, rooms that can’t be used because of work stuff, preference for a sofa in the kitchen/dining area instead of a dining table and chairs.

She’s so obviously after a free totter and tumble mat with all those stories. Why not just buy one with the profits from your extortionate matches! And as an aside, please stop doing reels you are embarrassing yourself.

 

[Spiesandliea]

She makes such a big deal out of nothing, we’ve got wooden floors throughout the house we just have normal rugs which we Hoover each day and we have e dogs and kids to mess them up! It’s not that hard! Just give them a shampoo every couple of months

 

[BlairWaldorf86]

She already has a totter and tumble mat. I know because I bought one after seeing hers (which was probably gifted ). It is an amazing product to be fair. Thanks Alex! <gritted teeth>

 

[elephantopera]

Is giving the child a bath seriously a window on this stupid advent calendar?

What next? Get dressed?

 

[Sozzlesazzle]

This post about the play mat is nuts. 'It gets so dirty' - I don't think it gets any dirtier than any other surface?! It just might mean you need to wipe it more often which can only be a good thing. Or does she want to hide the dirt in a fluffy deep pile rug, for her kids to roll around in?! I genuinely don't understand.

if there’s a post begging for a new hoover and carpet shampoo I’m blaming you!!! Will also need to beg for someone to do the actual cleaning too.

So Alex has beauty pie candle tier friends and then friends in the tiger candle tier. At Christmas they get to find out which tier they are in

I would love to know the p&l on these matches. Yes they are bloody pricey (for a box of matches), but the packing materials + the TIME that has been put in by multiple people to send the damn things out. If you work it out even at minimum wage by the hour, surely it can’t be making any kind of economical sense??

I thought the same. Surely its only really worth it if people are buying multiple per order. Not sure how many would. I also think that’s why they made the meal planner as an easy add-on item - markup on that must be decent.

In other news she was expecting a letter back from Santa (via Royal Mail) but didn’t think to include her return address

I don't think Alex understands or has any 'economical sense'
