It was also interesting when she disappeared from blogging and then resurfaced on IG. Entire new look and dramatic weight loss. Always made me think she'd had bariatric surgery and waited for the wait loss to be dramatic enough to get an entire new wardrobe.

Who, Hen House?

rememberingtheoldways, now that's a blast from the past.

I always thought she went private/disappeared because of her children. A few years back there was some mention of something going down with one of her twin girls. Honestly, I felt sorry for those girls, she dressed them as a cross between Victorian waifs and Little House on the Prairies.

and yes there is definitely sucking up to HenHouse. She definitely has a good life. It was also interesting when she disappeared from blogging and then resurfaced on IG. Entire new look and dramatic weight loss. Always made me think she'd had bariatric surgery and waited for the wait loss to be dramatic enough to get an entire new wardrobe.

Who had dramatic weightloss?

The Hen.

In her blogging days, she was probably a size 18/20, liked her food and drink. Every so often she would mention the lack of larger sized vintage clothing. Then one day the blog just stopped.

She then resurfaced on IG with a new wardrobe and body. Nobody ever mentioned her changed appearance.

Hen has been with her RAF roleplaying husband for decades. Their son has to be nearly 20. Not really sure what brought the wedding about. It was just announced afterwards.

They had been living in London prior to the blog ending. Then they bought the parsonage/vicarage/old house that costs a bomb

Much smaller player in the trad wife space, but anyone watch forever_growing_nest_ on insta? I flip between liking some of her grit and being gobsmacked at how many people keep sending her stuff off her Amazon wish list.

The woman in her bio that says trying to live a slower paced life in this fast moving world. She has never worked to earn or pay tax in her life. She's desperate for that nest to expand to 6 kids so the full benefits remain.

The more she gets sent it is keeping her in her life she's in. She needs to stop having kids and get a job.

But benefits stop after the second child?

Disgraceful. It is online begging.

I don't think they do, when the youngest child is 3 yo in a single mother situation the mother is supposed to work something like 16 or 20 hours a week to maintain benefits.

I think it’s changed - any child born after 6 April 2017 you can’t claim for if they are the 3rd or more child.

True but there’s no evidence she is doing this herself?

She did say last year she's got to start looking for a job as her youngest turned 3. She's also said she can't work having 5 kids. So maybe the rules are flexible 🤷‍♀️

She does conflict herself a lot i must say..says her mother isn't around, not seen for 10 years..before Xmas said her mother is giving her £40 and her 30th last year her mother sorted the hall out for her party.
 
Yeah - she contradicts herself a fair bit on her ex as well. Says she is all alone and gets nothing from him, yet his kids stay with him every now and again, she spoke of how he stayed there for a while when she had anxiety and also goes on about the kitchen mixer she got from him for Christmas. That’s not being all alone at all!

I’m just constantly baffled how many people just keep sending her stuff. So many of them compared to how many followers they have. It confuses me.
 
I’d never come across that account before so I had a nosey and I do think she seems much more normal than Lydia and Sian.

I always roll my eyes at benefit scrounger chat. She’s not living the high life - she appears to be very frugal and stays in a house full of mould. The Amazon wish list thing is bizarre but if people want to send her cleaning products that’s up to them. I’ll save my ire for the handful of billionaires hoarding the majority of the world’s wealth, and slimy politicians claiming tens or sometimes hundreds of thousands in expenses.

Baffles me.

A few followers are noticing what we do. She said again yesterday the messages she gets about the freebies, she can't understand why it bothers people when we'll off influencers get stuff sent. Err..that is their job, they work at what they do and they pay taxes. Unlike Kayleigh on state benefits paid for by the taxpayer.

She's not living the high life, no. She is living a life she has chosen - not to work.
