INPO is a horror! 😱

Comes across like Instagram gave her a second shot at "fame" after she failed her Big Brother audition or something - she's a full on, attention seeking desperado - and is now pushing her daughters onto us all whether we like it or not.
She's got her own thread. Ad after ad after ad. Relentless.

Just looked at her account. What an annoying person 🤢 - she definitely loves being centre of attention. I bet she's a vile bossy boots too.
I know they’re all so bloody full of themselves. I believe in having self-confidence but the Surrey huns or should we call them the Home Counties huns 😀😀 are just too much. The way they suck up to each other as well. It’s a joke 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ X

I had my first child around the same time as Eleanor and remember almost feeling sick with guilt that I was holding them while her nursery remained empty. Months passed and I started getting sold more and more tit. T shirts, candles, kitchen appliances... the list goes on...

And then I started wondering why this woman, who is clearly incredibly well-off, got to have all these beautiful free things while people like my sister in law go to work at the Coop every day to try and feed their kids. Then I felt guilty for feeling that because, again, I had my child in my arms and she didn’t.

But actually that doesn’t make it ok. In fact, it makes it worse. Are you an interiors account? Or are you here to raise awareness of baby loss? Because dovetailing the two just feels wrong. Profiting from it feels even worse.

She doesn’t need the money. She gets it because she’s white, slim, beautiful, well spoken. And because she is all of those things she is also rich.

I have four friends who lost babies in the third trimester. None of them tried to sell me candles that smell like a beach.

To be honest surprised they ever see sunlight..... oh sorry ! Yes they do, they think the sun shines out of each others backsides ! 🙄

So very very true. She is privileged all the way. I bet your friends had to go back to work - not cry to daddy for a job !

Well she’s mum to Teddy too. And why would a parent have to put mummy to ____ it’s like putting “full time mummy” as an occupation. Definitely not needed and not sure why she would put that
Because she had “mummy to teddy”... then deleted it

When I first started following her, can’t remember when exactly but certainly after Teddy died and people must have been sharing her account - I really liked her and how honest she was about something so tragic.
I didn’t even mind the first book, actually thought it was a good, useful read for other parents that have gone through similar perhaps. But then the gifts and the free stuff, the ridiculous high end washing machine, garden furniture and the cost of that extension 😳

Ultimately I just feel like she’s cashing in on the fact that her baby died, and is still doing so 4 years later. Of course, OF COURSE I know (and so does everyone else here) that she would have her child here above anything else but it still just doesn’t sit right with me.

I absolutely agree. I know I keep saying it but the Elizabeth Scarlett £400 bedsheets she advertised. I was repulsed by it. Shameful

Same. The thing is it said in her book after having Teddy she couldn’t face going back to work. Understandably.. but like you I feel there’s a limit. If social media is how you make your money then amazing. And if it also means you managed to do so much good and raise money on the side for charities then I think that’s commendable. She didn’t have to. But suddenly she’s taking a huge step back which is also fine but then..
But then why now she’s made the money is she sticking “raising for Tommy’s” on her new book

And then donating only 1%?? It seems like an absolute Micky take to me. Why not even 5%.

I haven't been on this thread for a few days and am glad I was sitting down when I read about the 1% donation to Tommys. Having the big Tommy's sign on the cover is disgusting. She is manipulating people to buy books by indicating that each copy bought helps support those who have love babies, when the actual donation is pitiful. 1% of this book is mean beyond measure.

So Elle continues to flog her dead son in order to pay for her expensive lifestyle. I've said this before, but describing Teddy as a 'bump in the road' leaves me retching. She gets freebies galore on top of that. I hate saying this, but if Teddy was alive, she'd be working for a living like the rest of us and using that hard earned cash to pay for stuff. Teddy's loss must be unbearable emotionally, but financially and in materialistic terms, she's done rather well out of it.

I wish her followers knew that it’s a measly 1%.
Of course she will never announce that...
I’d be embarrassed if I was her.

Oh she would never own up to that on her page to her followers. Should be at least 5?if not 10%. Another example of the fakeness. Could Tommy’s logo be any bigger or more prominent on her page? Anyway guys don’t want she’s given away 10 x pauper boxes today so she’s done her bit for society and all that #fake #tightwad #dontaskmehername #mrsonepercent #yourhalohasslippedlove

Spot the difference:

The pic of the front cover today on her page, no mention of Tommy’s, an uncorrected proof copy -

What people do buy when they swipe up. Prominent Tommy’s logo, don’t forget she donates a whole 1%. She really does think her followers are idiots! Or does she not want to promote Tommy’s anymore? Make your bloody mind up oh fake one 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m tempted to ask in her comments what % she’s giving. Obviously I’d be blocked and it would be deleted rather than any form of honest conversation.

Everyone may as well just donate the £11.95 directly to Tommy’s and just read her blog instead. Miss out the patronising middle man. It’s not even as though she wrote the whole book, there’s 4 other people who helped her out on this one.
