They look cute in that reel and it’s nice to see a happy Insta mama couple. It makes me lol remembering the SODs and how desperate FOD was and how much Clemmie clearly had the ick??

But the John Lewis anyday partnership is a bit 🤔 for me. I can’t take the opinion of someone that lives for disposable Tiger tat very seriously? And someone that promotes aaaaaanything, I think she’s got at least 3 skincare brands on rotation at the mo? It’s a shame as it appears to be JL’s millennial offering so I’m in the target market but I’d sooner just spend a little more on “normal” JL or otherwise furniture that won’t fall to pieces ala Tiger?

Agree they look very happy, good for them! If I had to work with my husband full time he’d be under the floorboards!

would you kindly duck off. No one ask you to quit your day job to do full time influencing.
 
Plenty of salaried employees work bank holidays for no extra income so bore off Alex. Imagine being that blind to your privilege, the mind boggles.
Also her ‘another day you don’t earn money’ doesn’t even make sense - is she really claiming she had no affiliate link income generated on Monday? Or no blog ads clicked on?
There are jobs around that pay 1.5x or more on bank holidays if that’s what she’s hinting at but she wouldn’t last one shift.
 
Ah poor Alex, what a hard life she has owning a massive house in an affluent area, shopping and afflinking for a living, putting her children in full time childcare, going on gifted holidays, spending her days eating free food and looking for pictures of people in glasses. My heart bleeds, what a trooper. In fact, duck it: I’m gonna start a GoFundMe for her poor disadvantaged ass.

No need! She already has a Ko-fi remember? 🤪

Edited to add… if she hates being freelance so much why doesn’t she go and get a salaried job? Oh wait, no one would employ her because all she has done for the last few years is post insta pics of glasses, Tiger tat and the non existent upstairs extension.

She’d get a job but not the kind that would fund her current lifestyle. And she might actually have to work on a bank holiday.
I listed to that money podcast she was on. She came across pretty well in some respects. She mentioned she wanted to broaden The Frugality to include other perspectives & she mentioned her privilege.
But her money saving tips were pretty thin on the ground. She mentioned the food shop but she’s done that to death & she mentioned checking her account balance daily. But that’s it pretty much.

That reel was awful. Just awful. Does she have any idea how out of touch she seems. She has won the lottery in terms of easy gigs. Her job includes putting cookies on people’s devices to make money from their purchases. Post a few links - done.

Have they ever done anything about the holes in the wall etc that were such a big issue? Surely that’d be a priority first? Unless it’s another thing that’s been hidden like the extension?

Think that’s fixed but the literal fire safety issue of a living room window that can’t open has been left. Personally I’d sooner my children could escape in the event of a fire than some Insta mama death trap tiles in the garden but 🤷🏻‍♀️ to each their own I suppose
