Who needs a “sofa fort” when they’re perfectly capable of getting up to get something as/when they want/need it. Emma, you’re not disabled, you’re physically able to get off your lazy arse and move, how bloody ridiculous! No one needs two drinks, snacks, games, two lip balms, a book, a laptop, hand cream and a bank card just to sit on a sofa.

After my operation in November I put together a box of essentials for beside my bed consisting of tablets, peppermint cordial, a book, lip balm, apples etc as I couldn’t move for a day or two. I wouldn’t dream of doing it for a normal day in the house.

Me and my husband are having a bit of a lazy afternoon to watch a film (as we’re child free for the first time in a few weeks) and we’ve both got a drink beside us and that it. We’ll have lunch soon that we’ll get up to get and eat at the table. Then later if one of us wants something else we’ll get up and get it like normal people! I’ll also add that we’ve both been up since 6am sorting out the toddler, clearing out and organising cupboards, taking the outdoor Christmas lights down, fully cleaning downstairs and my husband’s been out for a run.

Also, why bother faffing about with vitamins for a video when you could take them straight out the box and put them in your mouth - no filming required. No wonder you forget to take them when there’s such a rigmarole to do it!

She has more supplies than I had after a csection with a breastfeeding newborn.

I had massive knee surgery three years ago. I was literally off my feet and on hefty medication for the first week. I set myself up on the sofa each day with water, books, snacks, pain meds and charging stuff so that I could camp out. My husband left sandwiches in the fridge and when I did my bathroom visit (which took about twenty minutes to get upstairs and back down again (I wanted to be downstairs with more people around and he was working from home so I had company) I would collect them on my way past back to my sofa. He brought me coffee in the morning and in the afternoon and the kids when they were home from school would bring me things. It was boring after 3 days and the novelty wore off fast. I was delighted when the post op check said I could start moving around on crutches and do stuff again. She’s lazy as hell and has serious issues.

when you’re in that situation, you realise how crap it is. I had my hip and femur replaced in 2018. I did 4 days of the sofa fort and hated it. I had the surgery beginning of December and I ended up pushing myself, and cooked Christmas dinner a few weeks later... as I’m not a lazy slug.

I know we’re all entitled to like what we like but does Emma ever branch out from the same type of books? There’s a whole world of different books out there but she just reads the same one over and over with just a different cover each time.

I am very often the laziest person on the planet. I prefer not to brag about it on social media, though. Because I’m not sure it’s something to brag about. It is probably a result of burn out!

I couldn't believe she was talking about a payrise. Just so insensitive.

Also I can be lazy but would never post about it on social Media as I feel ashamed.

I wish Emma would start posting her monthly income again, where it came from and how she achieved it. But, she won't because we'd notice some real glaring mistakes in it :)

I mean the real question is, what did she get for Christmas? Let’s play Xmas present bingo?

- size 8 cat dress?
- a crunchie?
- hot chocolate powder?
- Disney porn?
- Poundland makeup?
- lip balm?
- WLS surgery round two?

I can almost see having a wee section in the kitchen for hot drinks. I just got a coffee machine and intend to have a set up with my pods/syrups etc. I guess it’s similar to having a wee bar with whiskeys or something

But I do not get the obsession with hot chocolate stations. ESPECIALLY not when you’ve had weight loss surgery. She should be having some sort of water station where she could have a dispenser and fruit or cordial but would she ever.

maybe it’s because I’m so not in to chocolate but £100?!?! For what you could do in a pan?!

Spend £100 on a hit chocolate machine but then penny pinch in cheap chocolate?? How is that savvy money advice? Our food shop is £100 a week... 🤦‍♀️
I am tempted to retweet her blog link with some sarcastic comments but it would get her clicks and I’m not giving her that and also she’s nasty and would probably try to get me back...

Also Emma, if you are reading here, which of course you are, your blog isn’t secure and has dodgy pop ups on certain browsers. Being a blog boss babe, ya girl probably needs to get that looked at...
Just saying! 😉

I'm glad Emma's biggest issues today are about announcing her payrise (especially when plenty in my industry are having pay cuts), listing some crap on ebay or running Tony a bath.
