I’d say she’s back - her sister said last week something along the lines of don’t want the week to be over.

She says that Peggy is still walking with a limp - yet she had her wearing crocs most of them week which offer no support at all.

Chris filming her dragging the buggy with her son in it down steps - why not lift him out and one of them hold his hand while he walks down the steps and the other carry the buggy.

God this is so cringe! Just pick up the other end of the bloody pushchair Chris!!!!
 
Maybe she’s actually away for 2 weeks in total and is trying to make out it’s only 1 (more frugal, more on brand, absolutely not eye wateringly expensive/gifted by the folks & a massive privilege)?
Hence those posts at the beginning of last week making out she was at home enjoying balmy evenings in the garden when we’d all seen the pics of her kids in Mallorca via her sister’s stories

Her sisters Instagram is too much IMO. All perfect and smugly. They must have fun family trips 😬🙄

Her sisters is more real, so many times she’s shown the “chaos”. Alex’s “chaos” is created to fit her narrative. When real stuff happens she doesn’t say it e.g how P fractured her leg etc

Alex needs to stop trying to be a makeup influencer as it’s not working for her. Her bare skin looks really nice here!

There are very, very few people in their late 30s who look fresher and younger with no makeup.

Advertising skin and me now, while on holiday, which is a prescription strength retinol…advice is you should stop using before, during and for a few days after prolonged sun exposure…no mention of that or using a high SPF if you choose to continue 🤦🏻‍♀️
Anyone would think she was just plugging any beauty products she could get her hands on without actually using them….oh wait

I’ve heard awful things about skin & me leaving people with serious burns, but hadn’t heard it’s a prescription grade retinol! Good god why is anyone using it?! 😳😱😱
 
And how long until she has a moan about how long it’s been since she had a “proper” holiday/break/weekend etc. Like someone holds a gun to these influencers heads and forces them to constantly churn out ad after ad for £££.

By all means be as greedy as you like but don’t then moan about the downsides and/or your own lack of boundaries.

Please we beg you - take some time away, you won’t be missed (ironically that’s their fear).
 
It'd be ridiculously amusing if it wasn't also slightly tragic.

I just feel quite sorry for Alex - she does come across as a really nice person but she's just tied herself up in knots trying to stick to her ridiculous USP of being frugal fashion, then trying to push her own brand when she hardly has an enviable lifestyle. She needs to pull back on the family and lifestyle stuff and go back to being a stylist as she was really good at that!

She can hardly style herself anymore. I doubt anyone would pay her to style someone else, which is why she’s clinging onto this pretence of being frugal. She’s just one big phoney!

How does she come across as being a “really nice person”. She appears to snap the head off anyone who disagrees with her. She misleads people about her finances, buys tons of tat she doesn’t need, and doesn’t take ownership of her mistakes - BBC licence.
The crowning glory she wants people to “buy her W coffee” for her “free” content after being subject to multiple ads she is well paid for but won’t pay for Netflix.
Far far worse out there but couldn’t agree with “really nice person”.
