It really doesn’t.It just doesn’t feel like a home, you know. It’s too bare. And nothing looks right - those wardrobes hanging over the end of the wall really bother me. Even with 3 kids it’s way too big. How will they keep it warm? I just don’t get it.

I’m sure I’ve said this before but she did that thing that loads of DFLs do when they come here - get massively excited by how much house they can get for their money. It was a hotel. It was a hotel because it’s basically a terraced house with another one built on the back of it joined by a wide corridor where the bathrooms were. Lots of the rooms have no windows at all.The layout is SO weird. Most of the rooms are corridors. Everything is drab and muted. There doesn’t seem to be any decent natural light, it’s all so dark and the dirty, unfinished looking black floor just drags everything down.
It needs some softness. Rugs, more pictures on the walls, decent curtains, colour!
the white elephant thing is so true. We joke on here about Clembo trying to be like all the other instamums and either being late to the party or not getting it right, and she’s done it with this house - but this time the consequences are massive. there’s definitely a feeling from her posts that they’ve bitten off more than they can chew practically and financially. That’s what happens when you try to keep up with the ‘cool girls’ and take on a project that’s far too big for you.I’m sure I’ve said this before but she did that thing that loads of DFLs do when they come here - get massively excited by how much house they can get for their money.

You can’t turn an ugly gloomy building into a beautiful home, even if you’re good at this stuff (which she isn’t).
She bought a white elephant and is trying to put a brave face on it.
I'm sure there will be bucket loads of it still to come.Thank you @Sogdhitalley - we love a bit of gossip!
Whaaaaaaat?!! Jesus!I'm sure there will be bucket loads of it still to come.
She just happened to come up in conversation the other day and it's only now I thought to look on here to see if she has a thread.
She don't give a shit about her kids safety at all because given her posts, her house is very easy to find. I live nowhere near her but when I next visit I can guarantee you that I can find her house within a few mins. It's very identifiable.
No idea if this is common knowledge here but her and the twatty fod and mod all live within 10 mins drive of each other. I remember hearing that fod and clemmie T got friendly at one point if you catch my drift.
