Does anyone else remember her saying (in a woe-is-me rant) that they’d had some big life conversations and decided to give Essex another year, and after that time they’d decide if it was for them?
think it was just before she’d got pregnant with Ada (or was in the first few weeks, hiding it badly) and she was lonely/complaining about never seeing friends.
I remember thinking, she’ll be back in London within a year or two. The Essex plan obviously didn’t play out how she thought it would - nobody visits and it doesn’t fit her aesthetic of a Cool Mom in London. Plus NNB isn’t helping out as much as she used to…
OR maybe they got a 2/3yr deal on their mortgage and realised they can’t afford it when the rates go up?
