She’s been moaning about her lost keys for weeks. Has she actually bitten the bullet and paid for a new set or is she pleading poverty over it

unsure why she didn't pay the extra on the insurance policy to cover keys, but she banged on about gap ins! Oh that's right paid to promote the gap ins, the key cover would be out of her own cash.
I find her very selfish and "woe is me" attitude tiresome.
On the plus side her food usually looks good, if she wanted an influencer career she'd be good at that as its usually thrown together with leftovers.

Oh the irony of getting the car by advertising insurance but not insuring the keys…

Yes she could do posts on eating on a budget… using up what you in the fridge, or using up red sticker foods etc.
A few months ago she was selling some clothes, mostly vintage, and a lot of them were “has a rip here”, “missing a button”, things like that. She was selling them as is instead of fixing them up a bit and getting more money for them. She is good with fashion, loves going round charity shops, lots of local councils have free adult learning with things like sewing skills etc.
But it feels like she’d rather overshare and complain then actually help herself.
 
She's putting no effort into anything in her life coz she'll be forever waiting for that white knight on a horse to come and sweep her away from all this. Of course the way she's going, she'll be in her 60s and still single and desperate and praying for her hero. It's a terrible example to set her daughters.
 
Moan moan moan.
I really can’t understand why the whingey mum cannot get a job? I work 18 hours a week and have my children on my days off. They are in childcare 2 and a half days a week during this time. My husband is self employed so I have to manage all the days off /school holidays when that starts and weekends myself. I get no days off but I absolute love being with my children and I give up any sort of self care or luxuries for this. It’s absolutely not a problem I chose to have them. I will have to budget for holiday camps or whatever when at school like most other parents alongside using my annual leave just for childcare.
childcare costs- she would only have one child to pay for as her other child is older and “free”. She seems tohave them in childcare anyway not to mention the support from their dad which is more than I have in regards to childcare help.
Yes I have a partner and two incomes but quite honestly we live within our means and this would not include fenty foundy, botox, charity shop perusing several times a week, bought out coffees, or a single trip away that isn’t for our children or as a family.
She is a world of her own. She thinks she can have it all and if she can’t she will just rely on benefits. She resents everyone for being able to afford “more” but we are on a comfortable income jointly of about £50 000 and would not spend what she does on herself!!! Absolutely not. She’s puddled.
broken Britain.
Could of gone to university for the 3 years and had all her childcare/ fees supported to get a more accessible career around her children if this was going to be so bothersome for her too in the last few years whilst she’s moaned.
 
If only she had a kitchen island guys…
Anna if you had a kitchen island you’d fill it with clutter. If you dining table is too cluttered to film reels what makes you think a kitchen island would repel clutter?

Ages ago I saw a tweet saying that you knew your mates were posh if they had a kitchen island (or something along those lines). I read it out to my fella, and he was like “what’s a kitchen island?” 😂😂 And here’s Anna all “why hasn’t they world given me a kitchen island?”

I don’t make content but I do know most content makers just use little camera phone tripods that stick to walls and things. You can work in a small space, no island required.

Arguably there's a gap in the "market" for an influencer trying to show actual relatable normal life in a small kitchen. Cause hey, as a fellow UC Mum, I don't have a kitchen island either, in my council flat, Anna.

In fact, that's what I started following Anna for in the first place, I saw myself in her. A single parent, on not much money!
Now I don't. Because she got a small taste of the influencer life and now she wants it big time and seemingly believes she's entitled to a certain lifestyle because she has a moderate instagram following.
 
“My life would be better if I had a kitchen island” ffs sorry what? 😂😂😂😂 if I said something like this, I’d say it quite melodramatically to be funny , but I honestly think Anna genuinely believe this and that it’s her god given right to just HAVE a kitchen island, like she is entitled to it and the world owes it to her. duck off Anna
 
I'm actually thinking she's trolling tattle with this, as you all know I stick up for her here but being upset that you don't have a kitchen island when you're a single mum on benefits is a tad ridiculous. Both me and my partner work and we don't have a kitchen island, nowhere I have ever lived has had a kitchen big enough for an island, in my experience it is the preserve of the very rich. But, my niece who has a mental illness does look at houses well out of her range and thinks she has a small chance of meeting a rich man who could make it possible so could this be a symptom of her illness? I always tell my niece to wind her neck in when she sends me rightmove links to 750k houses (we're in the North, that buys you a villa up here) and I'd say the same to Anna

😅 if your interested in foodbank meals cooked in a kitchen the size of a hamster cage or beauty tutorials with supermarket makeup from 2008 then I'm your girl. Might have to start my own mumfluencer page 🤷‍♀️

I look at houses I can’t afford on right move 🤣🤣 not often tho but I defo have!
E.g if there’s a big house I pass regularly and I see it’s for sale I have a look because I’m nosy about what it looks like inside!
Also fun to find odd things, eg a bath, at an angle, in the doorway of a bedroom and dark red walls… 🧐
And a laundry room in the attic?! Did they lug the washing machines up the stairs or do a pulley system out the window?

I’m aware I can’t afford these houses, I’m not looking for a white knight to buy me one of these houses, and tbh I think they’d be a nightmare to keep clean. But it’s fun to have a nosy.

I don’t think Anna’s desire for a kitchen island is mental illness, I think she’s just entitled.

Yes, I think we all enjoy looking at property we can't afford, I'm always critical, thinking ooh, I wouldn't put that there or I don't like the colour of that kitchen, while my kitchen could do with a spruce up 😂😂 but I think the desire or the opinion that it's in your reach needs to be kept in check, especially when it isn't in reach. I don't think Anna has that in her life, anyone to say stop dreaming and face reality.
 
I have an island in my kitchen now, used to have a really pokey kitchen but me and my husband saved up for years. Kitchens are bloody expensive and am proud we worked hard for it. Why does she think she deserves one for nothing? Also though, the island did not lead directly to a happy life 🙄

Have you considered influencing? Having a kitchen island is a big leg up in the influencing world, apparently
 
She's so funny! Trying to have a boohoo sob story about not having a kitchen island. She's obsessed with the idea that having more money makes it easier to be a influencer...duh...you can say that about nearly all professions. She could actually use her situation to create a USP as many others have said here, does she think that's too lowly for her? She's clearly a snob.
