For some reason, Ca'Pietra thought the Hoopers' "child-free master ensuite" was worth featuring a couple of days ago.

I've said it before but this is the worst feature in the whole house and garden for me for its poor design.

Also, you can have a separate bathroom from the children without constantly referring to it as "child-free".

Looks like something Terry Waite was chained to.

no offence to any fraus here but i cannot stand the scalloped tile trend, so tacky and dated

edit: just realised i used the word fraus which is strictly jack monroe thread parlance, apologies 😅

The finish on that bathroom is terrible. I know they got a lot of discount and freebies, but I would be well peed off with this!
Blimey, well spotted. That's awful. Those steps! 😲

Here's something I can't unsee, and I know some people will think this is nit-picking but this is supposed to be a luxury installation and I'm pretty sure the price tag for those actually paying would be well into the 5-figure range. Details matter.

The mirrors aren't centred to the tiles - they're 2 scalloped tiles in from one edge and 1.5 from the other. The lowest point of one mirror touches the top of one tile, the lowest point on the other touches two tiles. The mirrors shouldn't actually be touching/overlapping the tiles at all, let alone unevenly.

It’s getting those details right that really matters.

Yep! When Fodney originally posted this way back, it was spotted then. Shoddy.

I’ve not commented on this thread for a while but my social media has been slooooow today, and he’s been consistently flicking between 876 and 877k followers.
buying bots or just a couple of Darlene’s trying to decide that they’re finally bored of him?

Folks I think we're at the end of anything worth sharing from Clemmie's book.

I feel like I need to get the damn thing out of my house as soon as possible.

Any last questions on its content before I decide how I'll get rid of it? (Taking suggestions 😂)

I still have FOD's book but it might take me a while to take the plunge into that one 😫

Burn it. Don’t pass it on / donate it. End the toxic advice! Or set up an Instagram account dedicated to sharing it, with a page by page analysis of how awful it is.

Or post it to their house giving a one sentence review as a reason for its return. “It’s tit.”

Add “In French” to that. Play on the kitchen-dressing room poster and that weird “ou est le tit” thing from years ago.

I read that as Frau with a german accent.

Your books previous owner also spent £10 on the yesmum cards.

I just can't get over that cheap looking garden for this whatever period house they have. I'm really not a decoration freak but this fake grass and wood does not go well with the house at all.

He's got an ad. Children's dungarees, as modelled by the twins.
Modelled by the twins 2 years ago 🤣 he's literally stuck in 2019.
