I know her daughter’s name, long time follower and the switch to “my daughter” seems to have happened this week after being pretty out there for, years? Same with the husband’s name, which I also know. I think it’s eminently sensible.

I have no issue with her continued learning around various issues of social justice.

Anyone remember when she started a weekly mail out except, it wasn’t weekly as promised. It came out sporadically, when she could be bothered
Yes! And she either spent her time telling us it was gonna be late or complaining about having to do it.

The online courses will die out when everyone realises it's a bit shit and could do it themselves. I reckon it'll be her own bo-po chintz-riddled clothes line next.

Please don’t give her ideas... she’ll do a GC and flog vile stuff 😱

How does Jack live in that pink puffy house?! 😱
I think someone else asked the same question - from my dealings with Jack he lets Charl rule the roost for an easy life. He’s an ok bloke himself.

ok I wasn’t gonna post this but I shall. Jack is a good friend of my brother’s through his work and often stayed in the box room at my mum’s house for filming work as it’s in London suburbs rather than pay for an air b n B or hotel room. He didn’t generally eat food but showered etc. He got a cheap rate and for a while paid on time. Only the last couple Of times my mum has to chase him for this and she also felt guilty as he’s sort of a family friend. She actually chased him a few times by text which he ignored and my brother had to ask him about it. I’m wondering if Cracklin was trying to get him off paying it seeing her “freebies” and his film work is very well paid. It’s quite entitled behaviour though and a bit cheeky too. From how Cracklin sometimes behaves it seems as if maybe she just feels as though generally in life a freebie is her right... it stuck in my mum’s gullet somewhat when she knew Cracklin was making 150k a year and yet Jack couldn’t stump up rent to an OAP renting out her spare room...

I know we're all different but I couldn't believe it when they went to the US for their honeymoon without their child. I think it's different to travel for work but to take a break, so far away from one so little just seemed unfathomable to me.
Agreed - I’d have done it as a family holiday or done a honeymoon in Europe etc. It doesn’t set a brilliant example to other working mums either in fact only the other day my mum was telling is that my own grandparents never played with me and my brother yet my children and brother’s kids etc are looked after via childcare and played with far more often than we were. As you say though different strokes for different folks

£17.50.For an ice cream scoop.
£22.50 for glasses.
£21.00 for a candlestick and at least £16 for candles.
£30.00 for liberty print.
That’s a minimum of £91.00 on one trivial set of ad/pr samples that she’d love us to buy.
WTF???
She is so unrelatable to the average person. Who has that to spend on ‘stuff’???

In all honestly I only saw, a measured, “leave her alone and let her enjoy herself” response, with a nod to issues around cultural appropriation which is right I think - it’s good to flag why it can be problematic, whilst also saying fun is ok.

If you don’t mind my asking @MadamePoppy, you have described how you know her husband which makes you quite identifiable, and it’s assumed she reads here - you have no issue with her knowing who you are and writing about her? (No reason at all you should, Jack’s treatment of your Mum is disgraceful, just wondered that’s all).
@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!

Interesting stuff she’s saying in response to a DM challenging her about wearing an expensive dress to walk the dog. Nice and measured, hasn’t just gone off at the defensive deep end like so many influencers would. She’s redeemed herself a bit there (for me).
Ive always thought that she handles criticism well and it happy to open a conversation about things that she hasn’t got right

I had a look at her website today.
For starters, the blurb on the Google homepage still says ‘Betty magazine’ and as for the site.....it’s so confusing!

who are you now Cracklin?!

a business advisor? Magazine? Podcaster? Influencer? Blogger? I think most of us have followed her long enough to have seen her try all of these But imagine if you were a new client with no previous knowledge of her and Cracklin has been recommended to you to help with your social media marketing?

If she can’t figure out and make it explicitly clear exactly what she is about and what she can do for you then she’s failing.

I find her so smug and smarmy. You know when somebody's very face annoys you? It's like that 😅 I don't get why she's popular.

Does she still do that Fringe of It podcast with Liv? I quite like Liv, but it kind of makes me wonder about her if she's so tight with Charlotte 🤔

I would love to know who is paying for these 1:1 calls or paying to go on these workshops? I think I saw the calls were nearly £200 a pop. Absolute madness!

Fair enough. I can’t get all up in her business like that. I liderally could not care less 🙃 and it may be there are other reasons affecting her/ their ability to buy in which case you still get to make your home your home, and buy a nice coat if you fancy.

I actually don’t know why I follow her tbh, I used to like the aesthetics but now it’s all course course course which isn’t for me.

Why is she planning to renovate her kitchen when she rents? I’m so confused by all the stuff she does to the house when she doesn’t own it.

She comes across as so unprofessional. Always going on about how she's procrastinating or has messed something up. She seems scatterbrained. Wouldn't make me want to work with her at all, but then I'd imagine those that do have more money than sense.

Wait, what? On her Stories, she says she ordered from Pasta Evangelists but had to get at least three so had multiple pastas at once.

Does she realise you’re supposed to freeze them? Or some keep in the fridge for a few days? You’re not supposed to eat them all at once?! She actually cooked them all at once and then said it was too much to eat? Yeah, they’re meant to serve two for one single meal!

She’s incredibly dumb.

I don't know what's happened to her! The still have pulling shots with the captions, it's like she's perhaps depressed?
Lots of people are finding lockdown really difficult, that's all I can think of. I used to follow her ages ago and her content then was quite fresh and she seemed lively. She's a shadow of herself these days.
