Thetummydiaries (Lottie Drynan) #5 Lottie with every ailment under the sun, minus hypochondria the actual one

[Happyholly]

It’s SO frustrating that companies just send out free products to people like her when the rest of us have to work ourselves silly to afford everything! I still really don’t understand how this whole “influencer” scene ever became a thing. It doesn’t inspire me to go and buy the products, I find it really disheartening when I’m saving for months, sometimes years for things - just puts me off the company completely.

I feel like I need to stop watching her but I’m also really intrigued by how she’s going to cope when the baby arrives (having had my first last October!) so I can’t stop watching!

Same! These twats are constantly being gifted items they can afford to buy by going on the beg on the internet and acting hard done by. They then proceed to show off said free items that others pay for. It doesn't make me want to part with a single penny of my money for these companies.

If you can afford to buy and renovate your home and not even minor renovations then you can afford to purchase garden furniture. Beggy grotbag.

Isn’t it funny how none of these ‘influencers’ ,Vicky pattison being one of them, never referencing the cost of living crisis. I am a nurse and have already worked 40 hours this week but signed up to work 2 night shifts this weekend because I can’t afford to feed my kids unless I do !

She's put me off ever buying from Cotswolds company

 

[LiLahx]

Oh of course you have grottie. How bloody convenient that it also happens to be a company you’re being paid to advertise.

I actually hope her birth plan goes out the window. I really don’t mean that in an awful way because obviously the baby (refuse to call her Doris) needs to come safely but all this hypnobirthing drivel does my tits in!

I wish I’d not believed hypnobirthing like I did. It set me up for so much failure and I got nothing I wanted (plus 2 lots of life saving surgery after birth ). I wish I’d been informed by real experience rather than the “breath the baby out” bollocks!!

I hate the extension... I love the idea of the open plan family living and something I'd love to extend a future home in to but this is so generic yet slightly off.

You can't watch TV comfortably where the sofa is, if someone is in the kitchen it doesn't seem easy to see the living area and the dining table seems plonked in the space left over.

Even the rug looks wrong in the space.

Also don’t feel that light fixture goes at all with the aesthetic. I don’t like her decor style in the slightest, a modern extension juxtaposed with antique looking shabby chic furniture. The colours are so uninspired and were trendy about 5 years ago, at the moment it’s all about brights positioned alongside neutrals and grays and shades of blue. NOT whatever she’s got happening…

Agreed, that TV/ Sofa placement is so stupid!

Was that someone else’s birthday party that she made all about herself as usual?

You're right, the bifolds should have been where the window (and pointless window seat) is, table infront of those and then where the bifolds are should have been a window. Then they could have had seating under the window/against the wall where the TV is and then the TV should be where the pink sofa is. I'd be pretty annoyed at that costly mistake if I were them!

It’s all janky and mismatched. Love how she looks back on the reno as if she’s done back breaking labour when all she’s done is paint a bit, boss about her slave Ross and complain about not having a bath.

It would work much better if they switch the dining and living room space around here.

Surprise surprise, they're going on another holiday tomorrow.

 

[Ro98]

Worried about maternity money my ass All they do is spend money like there’s no tomorrow

 

[Jessie98]

Ross is taking her away (again) they are away more than at home. I suppose when you beg for all your house furniture you have money to spend on going away more.

 

[Itsallthecheese]

This is what annoys me about her and others. Moans about mat leave and money yet clearly they aren't struggling. Like how tone deaf can you be?! People are struggling to eat, literally just surviving.

If she mentions it again I'm going to say this in a nice way. For someone who knew that they weren't going to work or be able to take as much time off you had enough holidays and overnight stays away that surely the money could have been saved. Oh hold on you were gifted a good few of them so no I don't understand or feel sorry for you. Spoilt Princess Goofy

Princess Goofy is so accurate!

All the influenzas seem to be at it lately. Either moaning about having to buy things or showing off over priced items they've been gifted. They are just so tone deaf and insensitive
