I wonder if Jack has a shelf in their home or it’s just her frou-frou stuff everywhere and his stuff all stuffed in a cupboard 😅
I think he does have his own space but from what I know of them Cracklin is very much the dominant character, never saw their Margate home - also slightly outing but Jack is from a big family with small dogs and I kind of got the feeling from his talking to us that everyone mucked in together etc so I really think he goes with the flow.

I expect if it was a bought house (he might do it here) he’d have a man cave or shed as is the old fashioned word for it!

you do see Charl swanning around her kitchen (some ideas great some not so much and I think she now thinks she has an eye for interior design, must direct a few interior designers (RIBA qualified, work with architects etc) I know to her page - did you know it takes 7 years to become an interior designer as well as same for architect and I knew one sweet Hong Kong architect who did both, I think he preferred architecture over interiors. They can be very Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen/Kelly Hoppen types too, met both - very luvvy but quite nice in their own way! Mad as a box of frogs though both of them! 🤣

@Shane - I have absolutely no issue with Cracklin reading here as I rarely see them now and neither does my brother and yes it makes me quite identifiable but only to Cracklin and Jack. We don’t share other mutual friends. I can’t say that she’s a friend of mine either more acquaintance. My brother wouldn’t read here either. I think if Cracklin mentioned to jack about here which I’m sure she might’ve done then if I ever saw her it might make for frosty relations but I’d brazen it out. And really if you put yourself in the public eye like she and numerous others do then you have to deal with criticism and backlash from people who know you and who don’t know you.

My main gripe is her instagram/blogger spew of useless stuff, it’s easier I guess if you know of someone to bitch about them! If she wasn’t as annoying and irritating and smug as she is then I wouldn’t bother!
funnily enough I’ve been reading i’m a celeb PR AMA Mumsnet and someone god knows why I find fascinating is Gemma Collins - can’t hate her or even have an opinion. But she’s an interesting one - the GC is an image some say not far removed from her own persona but when you look at various pics - one in particular was really sad - no makeup or hair done at all, she could’ve called paps but doubt it sometimes you really can see the real person - I’m unsure if she’s all bad as we all have some good, I don’t even think she’s damaged psychologically unlike Katie Price, Kerry Katona and Daniella Westbrook etc - wondering if someone’s done research into them??!! Anyway they get criticism and what was amazing about the Prince Harry Meghan etc is apparently and I don’t disbelieve this - it’s PR spin to defect from Andrew and Wills, which is appalling if it’s true.

I think she’s quite pretty looking. I really love her hair but don’t love the copious amounts of stories about washing her fringe.

The dresses don’t suit her.
Pretty looking??!! I beg to differ. Her hair is nice but her face is ugly, puffy and she’s got small piggy eyes etc. Her hair is her only redeeming feature and it’s not the colour I would choose and always dirty.

That honeymoon was nowt but an insta photoshoot.

appalling on the rent chasing.

@Shane - actually I recall it wasn’t a couple of times it was more than a few times - over a period of stays... my mum was feeling bad about chasing but then Jack was picking up
and showing her his handmade Wedding suit and shoes/boots I think at the same time - it was quite appalling that my brother had to chase Jack after my mum had chased him and he’d ignored the texts. I swear Jack probably egged on by Cracklin suddenly assumed or thought that the rent/board was free as he’s good friends with my brother. I recall being round there staying once and boak - he’d left hair (pubes or normal hair in the shower catcher plug hole thing) and my mum also mentioned for ages until she mentioned it that he was using her toothpaste without asking (expensive stuff too) how cheap and vile can you get?? I think if he was really stuck for a place to stay she’d say yes but luckily he doesn’t come to London filming now what with covid 19 and minding June.
Oh wow haha well I've never heard of this person and as such have never even visited this thread until you tagged me so I would go with the assumption that it was a Friends reference!
ha ha! No idea what. I think she does read here occasionally though!

The piuppy is sweet but cue videos of Charl moaning about puppy keeping her up at night - flashbacks to June as a baby Charl?!

god she’s got another obsession - watching Bake-off! If she eats lots of cake then that’ll go straight on the figure Cracklin.

I sort of liked her frame being held up with ribbon but and I feel bad saying this how long will the ribbon hold up the frame on the wall for?

Also - is it Uber wicked of me to imagine a Cracklin/Jack/June/dog row where the kitsch crockery is broken and/or cake is smeared into the green velvet sofa! 😱😂🤣

thank F she’s shutting up about her overpriced, overblown concept tutorials or whatever she’s shilling to her clients, yes we know you’ve got the fools to throw more of their magic beans at your inane patter, just means the rest of us see through it!

I don’t follow a huge amount of influencers, bloggers etc but has anyone noticed how she curates her stories to either reflect criticism here etc or to garner more followers.

The 💐 flowers 🌷one e.g. she was all over asking her followers for where to buy the best flowers and then her mum bought her some wild flowers... she’s not posted any chocolate or eating outside rubbish lately with her questionable taste in dining ware...

She’s now very into the home spun house wife angle (will last 5 minutes guaranteed) how to knit a lilac scarf/jumper etc... and I don’t believe the jumpers she was sent today nor the yarn she bought wasn’t “gifted”.

also what makes me lol is she and Jack have had about 3-4 covid 19 tests each and the results (all negative) so they can get back to work and palm June into a nursery - guessing Crackers will do that anyway to avoid being around her daughter. When I think of my brother and his wife who struggled and failed to get tested near their house and then given a not near their house option - I’m fine as don’t need a test yet but why are they having 3-4 tests?!
That bloody coat! I normally like Charlotte's style but that just looks like my nan's old bedspread!!
I think Cracklin’s style is questionable at best but that’s just my opinion. I don’t go the whole hog on that Holly Hobby style with hair slides etc, and fair isle too but it works for her! 😀

some of her older outfits in her Betty days I actually liked a lot more. I think she has curated a specific style now but she’s got a story or post where she tried on about 10 dresses and to be fair some were ok but some weren’t doing her any favours at all, you’d think her mum would’ve said something as she owns a clothes shop!

that coat is vile though - warm but for the price I could’ve made it for her for half the price and better! I just don’t like the way it billows out but then again I do think it suits her character and that’s what matters.

If I recall for her size she’s quite tall - maybe 5ft8/9 or more compared to my petite 5ft4.5 so I do think she gets away with a few styles that a shorter more petite woman like me who also has boobs which get in the way!

I actually quite liked her retro Saturday T-shirt she wore yday but I can’t stand those ridiculous Liberty trousers!

Another day another Cracklin bit of bollocks. On her stories yday a couple of bits about less Phone screen time and more black owned business adverts both bit hypocritical as never seen her off her phone or buy black owned business stuff.

thing is she was actually getting me slightly sorry for her what with her anxiety increasing and “spending more time with June who was a mistake”.

have now got her droning on today about her renting, how much she’s spent £38 (go Cracklin, go Cracklin!) 😂😆. I really think that most of the people she aspires to be like are equally as untalented and fey as her, you can tell one of her idols is Kirstie Allsop, I actually don’t mind her! Or one of the Call the Midwife actresses probably the one who plays Trixie (heard she’s a butch irl by the way). I did notice how hilarious she can’t help dropping in the fact that Jack worked on CTM. Huzzah Charl 👏🙌😉😎!

Another Cracklin post on her insta showing a not that exciting hotel room and she’s bored at a service station, just goes to show she can’t stay away from the gram, her followers etc - I’m wondering actually how much quality time is spent with Jack and June??!!

I agree! She does seem to tag a lot of small Etsy businesses where she gets stuff from, but they don’t seem to be the same Black-owned businesses she talks about on Stories.

I haven’t paid much attention to her recently but I do hope she’s also stopped shopping with and working with brands who were revealed to have racist codes to describe Black customers - Anthropologie is one.

Side note: she looked very uncomfortable in her vintage fold up chair. They are small proportions compared to modern chairs! My grandparents used to have some the same, anyone over a size 12 would be wedged in!
sorry what racist codes??

I might be wrong but I think another instagram blogger takes her photos - brick dust and glitter - I think they take each other’s actually, and brick dust and glitter always seems to credit Charlotte but doesn’t seem to get anything back. I don’t follow either of them any more as they’re a bit too flowery for me, but I actually prefer brick dust even though she’s a much smaller account. I think Charlotte must be using her.
I’m not a massive fan of hers, find her out of touch from reality and a bit smug.

But...she does credit brick dust and glitter for a fair few photos in her defence. Typically they are the more professional, posey ones and she puts a camera emoji and then tags her in a few.

I actually really like her kitchen, it suits her aesthetic and she's kept it to her niche style. It's not a copy of the usual Instagram/Pinterest interior accounts you see. I like that she's kept it true to herself.

However, it's not renter friendly, IMO. That kinda thing has been done better elsewhere. She must've had permission to make those changes, surely??

All the influencers seem to do it- Erica Davies, Jesrose, Tanya Burr… it’s awful!
I think out of them all Jes rose is the worst cos she rehomed her dog who she paraded around IG 24/7 as her favourite thing ever, literally after her first date with her Hinge date cos he didn’t like the dog. She now is all over her boyfriend’s dog and calls herself mummy to this new dog.
