Why does everyone ignore you in the Wickes / B&Q yards? Because they are not there to provide free DIY consultations and figure everything out for you (as opposed to the actual customer service they are employed to do) - and the employees can spot your type (clueless yet entitled) a million miles away.
Once again Alex expecting others to provide her with something for free that she would never do herself unless she was paid a tidy sum.
There really is something to be said here about being accepting about who you marry. If, between the pair of you, you lack nous / skills in a particular area, that’s fine but you then have to be prepared to outsource it?

How can you not afford sourdough, but can afford a two story extension?
That’s what enrages me. The idea that if you scrimp a bit on food and use clothes for more than a season you can afford to live in an affluent area and send the kids to nursery. No f way
Can’t stop laughing

Once again we learn Alex’s version of being poor is not being able to buy Gail’s bakery sourdough from Waitrose every other day like it ain’t no thing, just like her old magazine chums used to

No Alex, those of us with deliverables and deadlines don’t have the luxury of choosing to watch Selling Sunset instead of work 
Must be nice being able to afford a nice house and full time nursery x 2 on what seems to be quite part time work for 2 adults by throwing other people’s photos on Insta and taking creepy silent videos of yourself.

What’s with all these basic recipe posts? Does the world really need Alex’s take on mushroom risotto?
Baffling really how caught up these instagrammers are in their own bubbles of self importance that they think this shite is valuable content and a good use of their time.

Maybe she’s already saving her pennies for some Poilâne sourdough….I might send her the link to the store
Also there’s a reason Parisians leave Paris in August…it’s hot and humid and I wouldn’t fancy traipsing round with kids in tow (I lived there, that’s when we used to come home) cannot wait for the moans about heat/all the stairs to get down to the metro/the price of the hot chocolate in Angelica, which the kids will hate as it’s so rich….
