This, the few very nice things I have are a resort of working hard and saving. If someone comments on my nice handbag for example, I won’t boast, but I’ll say thank you, I worked hard for it. When you get to the point that start lying to downplay stuff that’s so much hard work for yourself. Not saying you should own to please others but if she is just a “working class girl that made good” she has no reason to lie. But she got it all with money grifted from people poorer than her.See? This is what I mean! No way did she find a Nicole Farhi jacket for 50p. No. Way.
It’s constant this flaunting of expensive stuff then making outlandish claims about it being gifted or found. Or being asked where she got something and claiming it’s in the wash so she can’t check the label when it’s obvious its designer and she doesn’t want to admit.
Look im the last person to pronounce on luxury goods because the most I’ve ever spent on a single garment was £140 and even that made me feel physically light headed, but if you look at all the designer stuff she’s accidentally let slip on SM and consider that’s probably just the tip of the iceberg, well I reckon her habits been costing thousands a week at certain points.
Remember this was all verified by Von89 who knew her personally and came on here for a teeny bit in 2022.
So yeah I reckon she’s out of control at times. Still she must’ve figured she can always claw it back with 800 words on how she’s got to use patio lights instead of bulbs eh.
Yep. That jacket has been laid on a floor to take a photo. Otherwise, the weight would pull the shoulders onto the hanger.Hmm, I've got a shiny, tiny doubt about the Nicole Farhi costing 99p in the first place and then having its price slashed to 50p.
Purely because, no one in a shop would put a tag through the lining and the main fabric at the back, in case it made a hole (a kind of well). You always ping it through the label, it's quicker and easier too.
Nope. Jack has simply laid a price tag and the remains of a plastic tag from something else on the jacket here.

Charity shops have experts who know what stuff is worth now, don't they? So they don't sell stuff that retails for this much for 50p?Hmm, I've got a shiny, tiny doubt about the Nicole Farhi costing 99p in the first place and then having its price slashed to 50p.

Yes. Of course they do. No charity shop will flog a Nicole Farhi jacket for 50p. End of.Charity shops have experts who know what stuff is worth now, don't they? So they don't sell stuff that retails for this much for 50p?

Tonight on the Masked SingerWhen people are talking about Simon her name is coming up a lot as another example of a grifter.
When is the massive comeback happening again?
I noticed in this picHaving spent 40 squid on wallpaper to use as a jotter, I doubt she looks for bargains just buys en mass
The days of charity shops being run entirely by a couple of sweet old dears who’d price designer clothes at pennies has long long gone. Maybe there are a few one off local charity shops that still operate that way, but all the big and medium scale ones skim off the very best stuff for internet auctions and price the good stuff accordingly. Even books are subject to this. I was in one of my local charity shops recently, part of a small chain of shops raising money for a hospice. I picked up a book from a box of unsorted stuff and asked if I could buy it. I was given a firm “no” because apparently all their donated books go to a company who scan the barcodes to make sure no valuable books get sold for a quid.Charity shops have experts who know what stuff is worth now, don't they?

Also, she's not modelling very helpful behaviour for her kid with all this frenzied shopping, is she? What does it teach him about money, about the value of possessions, about restraint vs excess?I noticed in this pic View attachment 2671720
that she did get the drawer knobs discussed here - the blue ones that is

and it turns out they are £6.50 EACH on Amazon. And that doesn't look like they're for the kids bedroom like she was pretending they were

my point being that all the little stuff adds up fast.
And why would you pretend to do the quarter hack to save 12p a week and also spend £6.50 on each drawer knob
Why
Absolutely. There’s a thread roughly every three weeks on the mummy site bemoaning that chazzers are charging £7 for second hand Primark t-shirts and Shein tops.

Which is a very long winded way to say that while it could be second hand, theres bugger all chance the jacket cost her only 50p.
Agree 100%. The BHF shops are not run by fools. I am prepared to believe it's second-hand, but probably a tenner or something. I don't understand why she pretends things cost pennies. It's the same as her nonsense food costings and performative £20 top up shops. It all plays into the Tory narrative that the poor could manage fine if they would just spend less money and be smarter. She's no better than Lee Anderson, and at least he bothered to actually stand for parliament Cunts, the pair of themThe days of charity shops being run entirely by a couple of sweet old dears who’d price designer clothes at pennies has long long gone.

Oh my goodness fraus, I have been sucked into reading the last two threads and now I am pondering reading the whole CHAOI from the beginning! I'm guessing she'll be lying low for a while so I'll have time to catch up?
I remember becoming aware of her years ago - like 2012-ish. I read her sad, sad story and thought "bullshitter" but then paid her no mind at all for years. And all THIS has been going on! It's quite amazing all the opportunities she's been given and all the money she's had chucked at her, for her to have literally p*ssed it up a wall.
Also, British Heart Foundation chazzers are usually very switched on to labels/designer goods because they ebay the good stuff. I don't believe her story about the blazer for a second.
So, to be generous, she started out searching for ‘animal doorknobs’ for SB then Amazon look her off course (as is it’s wont), she ran with it (as is her wont) and ended up buying these for herself.I noticed in this pic View attachment 2671720

Mmmm, I think that could stand a bit more mithering.I've reached the stage in my mither through the way back machine. I think that might be enough mithering for today
This. All this. She did a tweet around then (give or take, I can’t remember exactly when, may have been an year or two later wfk) asking something like ‘would you add a food bank donation to your online grocery shop?’ and then sent everyone who responded a really quite rude DM reminding them Direct Debits exist (or sth, I can’t remember the specifics). I replied to it and she got even shittier with me. That is my origin story and how her name became mud in this house, and has remained so for around a decade.Oh my goodness fraus, I have been sucked into reading the last two threads and now I am pondering reading the whole CHAOI from the beginning!
