I did it. I listened to the whole podcast. I did it for you. No one else has to do it.

The house they tried to buy before The Bungalow (the one she's totally over but made a freaking scrapbook about) was an old nunnery, apparently.
She says in this podcast that they "wouldn't let us buy it" - like, maybe because it's out of your budget??? You wanted to gut the property, redo the plumbing, the electric, and slap on THIRTY-TWO windows. No wonder they didn't want you to have it.

She talks about the process of finding their current house. The heartbreak of not being able to buy the nunnery. They even considered renting it! Can you imagine? Renting? Like a peasant?
Eventually though, their agent showed them to a house in the pitch black down a 2km road in the middle of nowhere. And they fell in love with it, because it looks like a cottage from the front but the back is covered in windows. It really brings in the light. Not enough for your personality, though.

They move on to the topic of decorating the house. Instead of buying a period property, they bought The Bungalow to really put their own design stamp on it. She admits "I can't do anything in the house unless I clear it with my husband first, just purely because he doesn't want me doing things a hundred times over." Gee, I wonder where he'd pick up a worry like that :unsure:

She talks about the living room with the black walls, and notes "I feel so accomplished that I did it myself" - err... witch, who painted it? Who made/assembled the furniture? Who wove the rugs? Who mounted the TV? Who put in the fireplace? Who installed all the lights? Who painted those freaking paintings?? Who hung them? Seriously, what did you actually do in that room???????

The host mentions "the key to all this is planning," because apparently this room was "planned to a tee", with everything "moodboarded". That's not a word. Why is it changing again? How many times have you "planned"??

Moving on to the topic of Christmas: "It's not like I pay people to do my trees for me." Technically true, only because you didn't pay Sarah-Jane...
She claims she had 4 or 5 trees last year. We know it was 3. One of them in that room you never go in. Let's just call it 2. It's still excessive.
She says they get very excited for Christmas. They got married at this time of year. It's her happy time. THEN STOP READING TATTLE.

This year she's partnered with Place To Be, a charity for children's mental health. She's designing a wreath for them. I can't believe I've been dealing with depression and anxiety all these years... If only I had a wreath, I'd be cured!
Fear not, she takes her wreaths very seriously. "A wreath on your front door, I just think it says something about the person that lives behind that door." It does. It says that they have the money to waste on wreaths. MULTIPLE wreaths, dying a slow death in the attic.

The host asks for a sneak peek of what might be in the wreath and on her tree. "I'm IN LOVE with feathers from the pheasants," she emphasises. She'll still continue to dress like she shoots them, though.
Some rooms aren't decorated for Christmas. It's kept to the living spaces so that you don't "get sick of Christmas." I'm sick of you. Get me a wreath, stat!

She notes that Ali's family have formed a lot of traditions over the years, and she's gotten to know them over the years, especially since they hosted last year. One of the traditions is that they stay in their pyjamas all day. So she has special "Christmas pyjamas". The host notes that they have to be silk pyjamas, you've got to have a bit of glam. Veganism and Chistmas can't go together, of course.

Speaking of her origin story, she ended up going to university at 21, as a mature student. It'd be generous to call you mature, even 11 years later. She wanted to do a fashion marketing degree, but she wasn't allowed on that course so settled for a business degree instead. What A-levels do you need to be denied a place on a fashion marketing course?
She always had diary entry websites, growing up. She started taking pictures of her outfits on the floor of her university accommodation and posting them online. Eventually she graduated to wearing them. She has a passion for documenting her life in that way. She'll be flogging an autobiography soon. For what achievements? You tell me.

Having started a YouTube channel elevated everything she was doing. She couldn't imagine a more perfect career. For her. She specifies, "for me". I don't think she's ever learned the words "you", "he", "she", or "they". They're called PRONOUNS, Lydia. Never mind, we've lost her already.

"I'm not the kind of person who can do the same thing every day," she notes. Couldn't possibly run down the same road, drink the same decaf, eat the same gruel, boss around the same husband, check on the same "sprootlings", sit on the same sofa, in front of the same fire, and fight over the same LaMer cream. Oh no, not this mole!

She admits she gets bored easily. If she had gone on to the career she orignically intended, she would have ended up restless. That's an odd way to pronounce "unemployed".

She's adamant that her core audience is over 35, and she has more viewers over 55 than under 18. Someone get the fire extinguisher, the bullshit detector is ablaze again.

To wrap up, the host gives Lydia an opportunity to promote her social channels. She says that she uploads her home updates most frequently on her home instagram account. You know, the completely dead one. The last post was 2 weeks ago, and it's a recycled picture.


That's it. My apologies for not being able to live up to the standard of @ElleBelle - I'm sure there will be plenty more material to practise.
Thank YOU so much for taking one for the team and listening to the BS and delivering so hilariously!

I love how she's not credited Steve Conowhatever black walls/branch/bust inspiration of dreams that she did ALL BY HERSELF. Everything is ALL her idea to copy . And we all know that is 2 months ago - on it's way out for RUSTIC fuzzy balls and poo colored pheasant wallpaper, fake beams and fake paneling. (And FAKE gardening cause um... it's the covers fault for not arriving in time for a frost)

Really NO WONDER she has NO friends and no industry friends and very few really amazing business partnerships. I know it's sort of famous how she and Claire fell out... but this Frow "separated at birth" has turned into a "Lydia who FRENEMIES" and I have to think it's because Frow saw 👹 and RAN RAN RAN for the hills.

At a minimum she should have said "I'm so blessed in my JOB to promote companies that I'm exposed to and work with so many new products that I can showcase in my home. many items are part of a partnership that I believe in and am so blessed to have and keep for years and years to come". That's transparency and gratitude... oh tit... she could have listed every single thing in her home for 17 years and filled a gratitude journal. But we should know she's already thankful in her "mind".

This was great, thank you!!

And another 1k. 916k and rising
Does anyone know if her engagement has changed? Can we prove they are bots? I feel like brands would be interested in that kind of evidence

Does anyone have any idea how to stop her buying subscribers, anyone?

Ive sent lots of information out regarding her fraudulent purchases

Guilty of sending Ali DM
Guilty of sending inthefrow DM
Guilty of posting on youtube
Guilty of posting on her IG

At this rate I'll need Elle Belle to stop the life in prison I'll receive 😇

I just looked through her new followers (and reported about 40 of them whilst I was there). For someone who has a “main audience of over 55”, you sure do have a lot of younger Spanish and Turkish followers with 0 grid posts 🙄

Also makes complete sense to me your audience is over 55, you live in a bungalow and you’re constipated.

I reported a load too! But Instagram never deletes them - I think it’s a waste of our time 😖

Elle Belle I just want to say how much I appreciate your posts, I used to watch Lidl’s videos but now i always read your posts first and then maybe watch (and skip through) her flogs. Can I ask, how long does it take you to come up with the recaps? I hope not too long! 🙈

Off topic, ABSOLUTELY beside myself, am doing a house renovation and we’ve decided on the most beautiful kitchen, the colour is... Sage 😭😭 It really is beautiful but every time I think of my dream kitchen I think of Lydiot. So cross with myself ☹☹☹

Edit: hopefully she’ll move on from sage and I’ll never have to think of her when I’m cooking real food? *wishful thinking*
I wouldn't worry about your kitchen! I painted mine earlier in the year (Salix) and was showing it off to my hairdresser (who comes to my house). He made some comment about there bring a lot of " that colour about " which upset me! Of course, Lidl then started her obsession with Sage and I realised I had inadvertently joined her club! 🤣

Don't know if they have a graphic designer at Globy and if they have : should really work oon your typography knowledge. And if not, Deepop or Cawee : please use a freaking readable font for god sake ! Also, writing beige on beige is not the best for people with reduced eye sights and such. Bottom line : get a pro.

I'm shocked as to why have they still not proper shots of the self tanning kit ? Looking at Globy insta feed, if you don't know Lydia and stumble upon this account you don't understand at all what they're selling, and the feed is really "meh"... I don't understand what's the goal with that brand really. Is there any lol ?
They are recruiting somebody. Back at the beginning of the year they advertised for a PA and videographer type and Depop Dee was taken on.
Can't think why Lidl couldn't entice somebody with any ability to work in a cottage down a private lane in the middle of nowhere, Northamptonshire, with three cackling witches!

I don't get her food, I'm no gordon ramsey but it's really easy to make pan fried beef and veg on top of rice or pasta - does she not feel her arteries clog up with only carbs and cheese- that would give me some massive heartburn

Edit: I have zero zits even when I don't take care of my skin.. so no need for 400 pound creams

I sent Humprey Munson a DM commending them on not engaging with this false , horrid individual with her fake insta following. They were so nice and thanked me for my kind words. More brands need to take note and expose her .

next up.....St Tropez , Louis Vuitton, By Terry, Boohoo, Karen Millen, Nasty Gal, Nars .................................................
