Have always said and will stand by that Rikki is a lazy sack of useless shit. Does he not feel embarrassed that he isn’t even attempting to provide for his family?

So the packaging of the jewellery is beautiful but there is a spelling error in the word jewellery on the inside of the box and possibly on the flyers being added into the parcel. Jewellry. Would this have not been checked before the packaging was printed in bulk? Why have they not corrected this before sending out the luxuriously priced items to new customers? The wax seals are sticky back plastic, not hot wax which she has done herself. Just bulk bought via wholesale.

I was genuinely impressed with some of the pieces but I am disappointed with the fact that someone has already found the exact same design of one necklace for a lot less on Etsy. I thought she had claimed to have designed the pieces herself from scratch? Like, hand drawn and then brought to life via high quality jewellery makers?

Why do her lads all look like 40 something year old manual workers? I swear they all look like middle aged men. A window cleaner named Cliff. Plasterer named Keith. A groundsman name Mike. I've never seen young boys look like they'd be propping up a bar on a Friday after a hard weeks graft.

When Kate started that story with “I’ve had such a strong reaction to our charms” I immediately thought she meant an allergic reaction lol 😭

I’m kinda worried for her tbh, her entire household income comes from insta/YT so unless Ricky suddenly has a job, they’ll struggle 😑
I wouldn’t worry about her. She’s not worried how her followers will feel when she’s posting ad after ad and about how she can’t make decisions on which kitchen cupboards to go for when there’s a cost of living crisis.. her money she can spend it how she likes but she’s so out of touch. They have the luxury of being at home with their youngest all day, no impending doom of going back to work after mat leave, Rikki hasn’t worked for years, if they were that hard up he’d work I’m sure but it seems as if he’s trying to become some sort of food blogger by his instagram. Also they take the piss out of her dad who apparently ‘loves’ making them built in furniture for free! She’s living in a dream world where her only worries is getting to homesense to make a crappy candle haul

I’ve been following her since she was pregnant with Archie but just unfollowed! Her content doesn’t interest me anymore and her vibe is just off. Realised this morning when I went to skip the boring afternoon tea stories that I’ve been skipping past her stories for months now 😐
I used to follow her before she was even pregnant and she got her first home with Rikki, she was so likeable and I really enjoyed her content which was mainly YouTube videos as that was the platform at the time. But she is so out of touch with reality now it’s untrue. Also assume the jewellery launch didn’t go to plan as she’s not been plugging any of it lately

Either they genuinely didn’t know the gender or they knew it was a boy. If it was a girl I think she’d of done a huge gender reveal, nursery decor, hauls etc for baby girl stuff. That’s not to say she’s unhappy it’s another boy I just think she’d of made more a fuss with it being a girl after two boys.

Come on you guys, she's on her maternity leave now following the vast amount of work she has done in the lead up to this baby. She fully deserves some time off now doesn't she?!? 🤣 I mean, that pumpkin must've taken quite some time to draw on!

I do feel quite sorry for her in all honesty though. It seems she feels absolutely zero passion or motivation for her 'job' as a 'Digital Creator' due to never creating anything digital nowadays unless it has ANY kind of sponsor, however terrible the sponsorship ends up being but she's a bit trapped isn't she? She has no actual skills under her belt to fall back on when this bubble they're living in finally pops. Her husband has foolishly wasted his chance to further his own skills and career should he ever need to support his family if this silly 'job' his wife has ends which it has every risk of doing so. What will he put on his CV if he needs to get a job in the future? (Spent the best part of the last decade playing video games, going on free holidays and taking my wife to shopping centres to enquire about freebies in exchange for an ad on Instagram?)

I certainly wouldn't class her current work status as a safe, stable income. In reality anything could happen for it to all come crashing down without notice. She is already running out of content ideas when she actually bothers to do any 'work'. Her followers have already seen all she has to offer before (pregnancy, babies, fast fashion hauls, home renovation hauls, etc) and considering she hasn't even bothered with any of these since deciding to only do a video if a company offers her sponsorship or freebies, there's not much she is actually offering her current followers or any new ones that pass by her accounts. There's nothing new and her renovation rubbish won't last forever.

Her children are growing up and this job of hers is violating and invading their privacy. I can't imagine how hard it must be for Archie if any of the children in his school discover they can see inside his home, see him having a bath, getting ready for bed, etc. It's such a shame for them that their bone idle parents would rather sit watching free Sky TV all day whilst they're at school than actually put some effort into gaining the skills and qualifications needed to enter a well paid career that will provide future privacy and safety as the children enter the older years of primary school and beyond (not the easiest of years for many kids in terms of fitting in, being judged by peers, etc) as well as financial stability for when it all goes belly up for them.

I think this has crossed Kate's mind and she has tried to carve a new career for herself through the jewellery business which I believe she had unrealistic hopes for huge success considering she has a larger than average audience compared to many other start up businesses. I don't think she can leave her job as a walking-talking-advert any time soon for a jewellery company that doesn't seem to be doing all that well? With the combined audience she has across her YouTube and Instagram, the giveaway (giving away her jewels for FREE)she had over on her jewellery page recently didn't raise the following of her new business venture by much at all. Not very successful if you ask me.

She isn’t the only influencer doing this. The Michelaks are doing the same & calling it their passive income. They are all con artists.

Her ads have to be some of the cringiest ones I’ve seen (and I’ve seen my fair share of cringey ones). When the influencer money dries up don’t expect Hollywood to call with that acting Kate 🤣

She just seems to have given up on everything in this pregnancy, she’s lost her spark if that makes sense. Everything seems such an effort. I can’t believe she’s pushing another bloody food meal box. They both have so much time to prep, plan and actually cook as they’re home all the time I do not understand why influencers are so lazy.

Kate is such a pretty and feminine woman that I can’t help but wonder what on earth she sees in Ricky?! He looks like a big ogre, they’re like chalk and cheese (or Fiona and shrek).
Meh I think they’re pretty equally matched in the looks department

I really don’t know why she has gone down this route! I used to really like her and her content wasn’t too bad. It was after having her third child that she suddenly stopped smiling and started all the TikTok shilling and that’s when I unfollowed.

I think she’s scared it will be another boy - maybe not the right word but I’d say she is anxious about it and has probably wasted her entire pregnancy by worrying. She should have just found out the gender to give her time to accept it if that is the case.

It might be because he has an older sibling who is already into it but I agree, why encourage your child to have even more screen time? Buy them things for their new garden they're having instead. Outdoor things. He has the perfect time of year for that sort of birthday gift. Tbh most of the gifts those kids receive are freebies they've been 'gifted' or things to advertise so I guess they are probably encouraged to be into whatever it is they receive for free so they don't have to spend anything on actual presents.

I haven't looked at her account for months but had a quick nosey the other day and saw that firstly, she is shockingly posting stuff more frequently now!? Who'd have thought she could actually do a pic or little video reel for every couple of days!? She's actually doing something towards her strange style of job for once 🤣.

I also noticed the dresses she has for sale. £49.99 plus postage for one of those cotton dresses! They must be good. Handmade by talented artisans in India too? Fair trade,sustainable and everything! Shame this isn't the case.

They are made by very very hardworking, talented people in India who have worked long, tiring hours creating these dresses for her to sell in her shop. She sells them for £49.99 a dress when actually she paid a grand total of £8 per dress plus one shipping fee all the way in air miles from India. She has sold around 39 of these dresses so far (and probably kept one in each of her favourite colours for herself of course) meaning she has made £1600 PROFIT from the few she has so far sold whilst the many talented artisans, who are working in this factory to make their living, shared a small cut of the £600 she paid for the whole stock of 72 - 75 dresses she purchased from them. I guess she also needs to make a living to feed her family from in that big ole house she has just extensively renovated.

Shame on her and her greed. What a shame she can't do some real work for once and maybe swap places for a day with one of those hardworking humans in India who actually have real skills and talents and deserve much more than the wages they work so hard to earn! Shame on you Dolly Bow Bow.
