Just seen charlotte Taylor has been gifted a holiday to France. Her post starts with #AdGifted, and she actually says what is gifted (flights and accommodation,everything else they apparently pay for themselves. )
I appreciate she's declared it properly, and I know she's one of the better YouTubers for declaring etc, but for some reason I'm really jealous
Id love to go away but we are so skint with doing the house up that we just can't afford it any time soon
Someone make me feel better please?!
Maybe give me a slap?!
You are not alone I feel similar
Felt bit down yesterday when muppet Conway a said they off to Bluestone.
Noticed this morning Candice and possibly other influencers there too.
I like Charlotte least she's labelled it clearly just seems like every infleuencer has just come back off holiday or on one.
I don't know how it helps brands advertise as makes me irritated and not want to go with that company.
It seems no matter how small their following,lack of talent skill (meldrums holiday vlogs), breaking the advertising rules all the time , acting unprofessional limiting and censoring their posts they still get gifted it's depressing.
I'm the same buying a house that needed work has ruled a holiday out this year.
Just discovered whist decorating 1 room it needs a replaster so that room will have to wait a few months as committed doing kitchen/diner.
I don't mean grand Conway job I mean painting the walls a cheap white.
Laying laminate ,painting the dated cabinets and replacing the handles, maybe adding some cheap home bargains tea coffee pots.
Using fablon contact paper to cover the awful laminate.
We can't afford to replace the sink tap or worktop right now so giving it a source up.
We have £100 budget for paint/primer and contact paper and the floor will cost £100.
But I keep reminding myself myself and same for you
We have a nice home with things we picked ourselves.
The sense of doing it ourselves the achievement.
The patience of waiting and saving means we appreciate it.
That we not in debt other than mortgage we can afford to put the heating on or put food on the table.
The weather is sunny today we off to fun day at the park.
Next year maybe we can go on holiday and it be worth the wait.
Have a great day and don't lose sight of 1 day there be a holiday but it's unrealistic you can do it all.
