Surely that is still travel though, even if it’s not everybody’s idea of travel. The actual definition is a trip abroad...That’s fine but don’t say you *love* travelling when really you only like America unless it’s a sponsored Europe holiday. I bet they’ll be gifted some holiday house in Greece/France in the summer then there next big trip will be some part of America. I know this happened after they went but I wouldn’t even be going to places like Alabama and giving them my tourist $
You need to get your facts right. The sofas in their old house were bought by them from next!
[/QUOTE
Weren’t they given the old sofas? She’s said many times that they were given them when they moved in and when they got the new house it was the first time they’d ever bought sofas.
This!! Couldn’t agree more.But surely it’s all about perspective. Where you perhaps don’t think her travels are ‘travels’. To the next person (myself), it may seem like such wonderful places to go.
I personally feel very inspired by her page. At the end of the day, it’s a social media platform/highlight reel, whatever you want to call it. She lives (in my opinion) such a wonderful life. The humdrum day to day life, I can relate to. And looking forward to your next adventure (I relate to) albeit her humdrum house is MUCH nicer than mine, and her adventure are way more extravagant than mine, but that is life. There are always people with bigger, better fortune. Then there’s people who are less fortunate. Social media is such a double edged sword for a lot of these ‘influencers’ but Katie is one who I have so much time and respect for. Unfortunately though, when you put yourself in the watchful eye of Thousands....your going to get picked apart. But she seriously does what we all say we want.... she’s super transparent, she’s replies to most if not all, she’s picky with what she chooses, all her ads genuinely suit her lifestyle, and she responds to criticism so well. She’s always willing to open a discussion...not just block and delete. And I know this is a ‘trash’ thread, but I really do have a lot of time for her.
Agreed, I have often wondered exactly what the cost of the trips is, and have wondered if maybe she doesn’t want to say as it could a) give away how much is free or b) maybe she doesn’t want to be Seen to be bragging? Either way, I’d like to know. Especially how much they must spend on eating out on holiday - every meal out is so alien to me.But I have never seen her talk straight facts on budgeting and pricing
Her house isn’t as big as it looks, she lives in a very affordable area of the country and did get the house at an amazing price. I like Jon, I think he always looks embarrassed but I’m sure he wouldn’t do anything he didn’t want to, but he does support Katie.I think she seems like a nice person.
I’ve had to unfollow her because I can’t relate to all the holidays and expensive renovations anymore. Her old house seemed more attainable to me. Her new house is huge and I can’t help feeling jealous
What I do find super super annoying is her husband’s smirk in photos. The last couple of times he’s featured on her insta page he looks normal. But prior to that he’s been doing that annoying smirk for years- it looks exactly like this emojibut the smile goes down at the edges . I get so annoyed with it I want to shout at my phone. Anyone else?
You’re right though- husband appears to hate being on camera, poor guy. Wish he’d chose a different expression though xx
Jon’s weird smile gets me too! But I‘be come to the conclusion that’s just his faceI think she seems like a nice person.

House looks big to me but I guess it’s subjective.Her house isn’t as big as it looks, she lives in a very affordable area of the country and did get the house at an amazing price.

Depending on where they live in the UK and how big the house is I don’t think it’s an extortionate amount to pay for a house.I don’t think the average family would think £ is affordable or am l living a different world?
I'd agree - depended on who you are, their house isn't that aspirational, I am sure Katie and Jon aspire to live in something like her mums house!Depending on where they live in the UK and how big the house is I don’t think it’s an extortionate amount to pay for a house.
That is very good knowledge! Very interesting- thanks£ is what they paid for it and I think sold their previous house for £276,000
Agree can’t see this as their forever homeI'd agree - depended on who you are, their house isn't that aspirational, I am sure Katie and Jon aspire to live in something like her mums house!
Nor me. They’ll shift up. It wouldn’t surprise me if the kids move to private school as well. Just my assumptions though!Agree can’t see this as their forever home
