She'll sell it on fb marketplace.I mean she could have just said "I've been gifted this windows laptop which is made from recycled plastic which is a great idea. As I already have enough computer equipment though, I'd love to donate this to a local charity to use in their business or to a local school who might have some students who need a laptop" But of course it's greedy gimme Maddie we are talking about here. She needs that money to buy another William Morris print cushion cover. Gross.
Has she been doing this?She'll sell it on fb marketplace.
Ok what got me is her saying go the park. How many people will do that cos Maddie said its ok. Also lets be real. How many of the brain dead idiots really going to deconstruct the wreath and compost it? Just leave the hedges and trees alone for everyone to enjoy!! Pick up what is on the ground.What is the point of cutting beautiful and maybe endangered foliage to be dumped after christmas? Where is the sustainability in that?I do find it amusing when people forage for natural items for a wreath and then use a whole lot of hot glue to stick it together. With a chicken wire wreath base and maybe some natural twine they could put a wreath together almost as easily (And plenty of florists have videos on IG and YT showing how). Then at the end of the season you deconstruct, put the organic items in the compost, and keep the chicken wire base for next year.
Or get a family member to sell it, so as not look hypocritical after taking £ to advertise it.She'll sell it on fb marketplace.
The latter. Obviously recognised that she doesn't have any interesting content, so resorted to clickbait.I haven't watched her last few videos because I honestly don't have any interest in her content any more, but this came up on my suggested list. Clickbait much? Has she run out of Chia seeds or had enough of making 100 changes to the house at once?

She is just insufferable.Yup skipped 90% of that.
Does she realise moaning that her tens of thousands of pounds worth of home renovations is 'getting to them' is so painfully privileged and obnoxious.
I think she just does it to wind people up at this point, or is she that clueless? When so many people are struggling and utility bills are through the roof. The way she wastes and throws around money is ugly.
I'm the same, I have so many things that I once liked but now are anywhere from meh (kitchen chairs come to mind) to actually super uncomfortable amd hated (like my Ikea Kivik sofa. It's probably the most uncomfortable sofa I have ever owned, I hate it.)I'm not a minimalist, by any stretch but Maddie has based a career on it, so it really bugged me in her video tonight where she said they were replacing a radiator in the living room. No mention that it was broken, just choosing to replace it. How many things now have they replaced just because they don't like it?
I have wardrobes that I bought in 2005, I don't really like them anymore because my tastes have changed and the doors don't shut properly either but I'm loth to replace them because they aren't falling apart. I can afford to replace them but I was brought up to not waste things, to use things until they fall apart or mend and make do and I haven't even based a career on minimalism, sustainability and protecting the planet. I don't even think people can't change their views on things but the news is all around us that our consumption is driving climate change and Maddie is making money off that whilst still being incredibly wasteful.
I know this was a while ago but I just think that Maddie doesn’t think of homeware as part of consumerism nor does she see an issue with fast interior fashions. She only sees fast fashion/clothing, beauty, makeup type things as being the issue environmentally and as long as she’s not buying from fast fashion brands and she’s only buying vegan and ethical items it’s still her being environmental. She lives in the country side so she’s still “slow living”. The homeware she buys is expensive and “will last a lifetime”, or is handmade or is environmental or is just something she loves.View attachment 888861
It's genuinely laughable at this point. You can't post about multiple sofa/armchair purchases on your home account and then this on your main? Also, I remember that you could interact directly with her up until some months ago, but now her Stories interaction are off. I wonder if she got tired of people reacting "badly" to her stuff.
Well put, and why do they even need a house that size anyway? The energy consumption for the two of them just to heat the place is going to be sky high.Also this idea of having a "starter home". This is more a general complaint, not a Maddie specific one, but damn, it's just so symbolic for everything going wrong.
Never satisfied with where you are, never working with what you have but instead just chucking away the old and buying the new, wether it be a phone, laptop or house. Any time I watch Homes under the Hammer, its waste waste waste. You buy a property, and even if its renovated, you redo it anyway because the windows are not your style and the floors are not the exact shade of grey you'd like and the bathroom tiles are not metro style. Three years later you sell it and the next buyer does exactly the same thing, ripping out the carpets or vinyl or what have you, redoing the kitchen, adding another extension because who needs green space and grass and soil, chopping down any bush, tree or flower to tarmac it for two more car parking spaces.
I do think that she'll keep the items she's bought for a very long time but replacing things because you don't like how they look is not sustainable. She buys so much stuff, is having work done rather than repairing things, whilst lecturing people who are likely buying fast fashion because they can't afford expensive linen fox items. So infuriating, isn't it?I know this was a while ago but I just think that Maddie doesn’t think of homeware as part of consumerism nor does she see an issue with fast interior fashions. She only sees fast fashion/clothing, beauty, makeup type things as being the issue environmentally and as long as she’s not buying from fast fashion brands and she’s only buying vegan and ethical items it’s still her being environmental. She lives in the country side so she’s still “slow living”. The homeware she buys is expensive and “will last a lifetime”, or is handmade or is environmental or is just something she loves.
And as a result she’s still minimalist and environmentally conscious because she’s being baggy eco fabric handmade dresses for stupid prices and not being from PLT or custom made tables and not stuff B&M
They had the aga on, the fire and most probably the central heating too and Maddie was complaining how warm it was in the kitchen, the fuel consumption for two people must be ridiculous. If my house gets too hot, I turn off the heating and or the fire.Well put, and why do they even need a house that size anyway? The energy consumption for the two of them just to heat the place is going to be sky high.
I bought a 2 bed terrace and people were assuming I wouldn't stay there for more than 3 years. Why would I need anything bigger when it's just me?!
pretty much everything they've replaced or "renovated" so far.I'm not a minimalist, by any stretch but Maddie has based a career on it, so it really bugged me in her video tonight where she said they were replacing a radiator in the living room. No mention that it was broken, just choosing to replace it. How many things now have they replaced just because they don't like it?
it shows her ignorance. how long has she been a "minimalist/sustainability influencer"? nobody starts off knowing everything but by now I'd expect her to have educated herself about these issues. It's baffling to me that she thinks she can mention thrifting here and there in order to make herself seem more sustainable, when she's ripped out half her house unnecessarily and bought (been gifted) hundreds of things to fill it with!I just think that Maddie doesn’t think of homeware as part of consumerism nor does she see an issue with fast interior fashions.
