Does any one have a thermomix here?
I know Lydia and Josie both have one, worth it or not? Probably not if she is still eating pasta most nights…
Apparently they are amazing! Lidl can’t read so can’t use it!

Sorry to quote myself but had to say this, the only one I can remember was when all I had was literally penne and mayo hmmm
LOL We've all been there my friend!

FFS, with all this gardening how do they manage to have vegetabless meals?
And when they use veggies, they make chutney. I'm no nutritionist, but doesn't cooking down all that produce to make slosh strip the vegetables of their nutritional properties?

Why is it Charlie has to do all the driving, cooking and basically everything when they are away together? Does he not drink? Or is he just one of these people that has to just be in charge??? He makes Ali look useless

I do and it’s great!
Yeah I went to a demonstration the other day and it does look like a good piece of kitchen equipment!
It’s a shame Lydia hasn’t shown us how to use it rather than flogging laundry powder and so on.
it’s just expensive so am in two minds as I have a sage processor and kitchen aid mixer…
Maybe I could sell them though to make room!

There are different options, Magimix, moulinex , kenwood… all sorts, have a look on YouTube.

Okay, please set me straight if I'm wrong ... but I don't consider this curtain dress a wardrobe essential.

You are absolutely correct. A "wardrobe essential" is a black cashmere cardigan (or any solid, neutral colour, really). If I wear this cardigan this year and next year and the year after that but with different t-shirts or different jeans/trousers, nobody will think "Wow she only wears that black cardigan".


If I show up in that dress Lydia defines as "essential" to more than one occasion, my close friends will be sort of concerned and probably start to ask me if I had to get rid of all my clothes. Because why am I always in that same dress? Or if I were going into an office for work, same idea. I could wear a cardigan every day but with different items and it's not immediately repetitive. That dress is repetitive the second time you wear it.

Just another example of Lydia just barking out buzz phrases and not knowing anything about fashion nor caring to know.

He doesn’t drink as he’s an alcoholic. So he’s always the designated driver!

That’s not to my taste. I think a hot tub right outside on the patio is tacky. I also assume they have grass right up to their boundaries. So no I don’t think they’ve done anything better than Lyds and Ali. Just my taste though!

Yeah I know but I do have lots of equipment already. I like the thought of having the app though. Lots of influencers seem to have a thermomix but never actually use it

That sounds just like me , I only wanted the thermomix because it has an app and is highly connected, but went for the Magimix cook expert instead! Don’t use it much

Madeleine Olivia just got the Kenwood one. In her vlog out today she cooked some food with it and gave us close ups and good explanation of how to use it. I've just started watching her as one of our Tattlers recommended her. She is truly lovely and down to earth, no pretensions. Not long moved into her lovely Georgian home

I feel really sorry for Ali coming back from Provence after dining on proper food for a few days. He should go on a cooking course and learn how to produce good food to eat as he will never get a good meal from his wife.

You’re right, they didn’t really analyse how they use their rooms before making changes, hence the constant rearranging. Normal folk will wait and see what works and what doesn’t before deciding on changes but Lydia goes in all ln guns blazing and at considerable disruption before figuring out that it doesn’t work for them. It would be funny if it wasn’t so wasteful. Also, just because something is gifted it doesn't make it acceptable to replace it just for aesthetic reasons, far better to reuse/repurpose or even embrace a mismatched but cohesive look. It’s ironic that she doesn’t realise that the look she’s after is mis matched cottage core. She’s a bloomin’ nightmare.

You’re giving our gal too much credit here - she dressed like a hooker who rolled in neon and glitter. I never dressed like this. Her looks weren’t even fashun.
I certainly never dressed this way either. I've had my fair share of fashion faux pas but I always found Jeffrey Campbell shoes and Black Milk leggings so fugs. I just laughed as soon as I saw this because it's Lydia
