Miguel Barclay (One Pound Meals)

[ploppityplop2]

He went to the Lanesborough last night on #datenight. I have only licked the windows there on my walks around London so can’t really comment but his dover sole cost £54.

Looked amazing and he still is hilarious thinking he looks like the TS.

I like him but it’s a bit uncomfortable to watch when he’s on tv etc promoting how to cook on a budget but has a lavish lifestyle

He goes to nursery, not school. I don't know why but it gives me the rage when people call nursery school!
He spends so much time in bed I don't know how his business can be so successful! I was wondering if Lucie is maybe going back to work, she was updating her LinkedIn pictures last week

Nursery/school We are still in a national lockdown. They aren’t key workers and are abusing the fact that the nursery is still open to go home and go back to bed. I personally would not do that and not post the fact all over SM.

Totally gutted went to his Pizza place today but it was shut really wantsd a slice of his pizza and was hoping to catch a glimpse of the man himself

You’ll have a better chance hanging out in sainsburys

 

[Babysnark]

Omg guys I died laughing at his stories just now he's got an estate agent coming round so he's doing his usual tidying of shoving things out of sight (eg previously throwing up on the roof or into a "cupboard of doom"). He's just shoved a load of coats from the hall into a toy teepee in Charlie's bedroom

 

[leapinlizards]

OMG well done whoever called it! He kept it very under the radar I didn’t have a clue considering he does stories every day

Congratulations to them all

Charlie's maths absolutely blows my mind!! I'm pushing 40 and can't do sums like that.

 

[Swordshead]

I'm sorry not sorry but I absolutely LOVE his Insta. He's just so random and while he's sneaking an Ad in lately () I'll forgive him. He's one of the few that uses IG the way it's meant to.

I wanna know how this bathroom turns out!!!

Nothing seems to faze him and while he'd probably drive you mad with this haphazard DIY,he seems fairly handy. I love that he just hops on a bus with a load of pipes lol. He's loaded and can obviously get people in to do the work but love he gives it a go himself

 

[PsychoKitty]

I love watching Miguel and Charlie's adventures!

Felt really sorry for him today with the needles in the bin. I know exactly where he lives and there's lot of ginnels next to him that the junkies like to shoot up in. I wonder where the new house is? Also invested in the mystery flat!

 

[Wizzywoo2]

I love how he takes the baby everywhere with him, shops piles the shopping on her, golf course wheels her around. Thay are a really nice family!

 

[Fifi91]

His Instagram honestly is so heartwarming. Don't know how he does it but between the dodgy tiling, his son's mega maths brain, his bff Ian, gorgeous new baby and a very relaxed caring wifey...I love them

I agree. When I'm scrolling through Instagram his stories are the ones I always click on and want to see. They are sometimes so random, Charlie being sick in a taxi, whether he got the crust on his sliced loaf of bread, if the tiles have stuck to the wall, Charlie doing homework on the way to school, ordering a big Mac .. I just love it

It has a grubby look doesn’t it

so grubby and the hallway is a fire hazard. Him climbing over everything to answer the door is shocking. He does a lot of dodgy DIY and everything gets thrown on the roof. It’s embarrassing

 

[PastorBake]

I think it’s part of the point though. It’s not shit food from disgusting ingredients for paupers because they can’t afford to eat decent stuff. It’s just good food for everyone that happens to be cheap.
You’re not going to get someone with money washing 20p beans and eating value sausages or substituting mince beef for porridge oats like Bootstrap or other bargain cooks would have you do. He uses decent ingredients that don’t have questionable origins or health implications in a creative way that anyone would be happy to eat.

At least I think.

That's definitely his angle - it's well thought out, tasty food that costs £1 per portion. I've made lots of his dishes and they have all been delicious, easy and low cost. I imagine he has been absolutely hooting with laughter at the inedible hoop rinsing nonsense JM has shared recently.

 

[Into_the_tunnel]

I agree he doesn’t brag about how much money he has - he’s very low key (all the diy etc) when he can clearly afford to get things done properly by a skilled tradesperson. He sold his company some years ago for millions.

I am totally invested in this mystery flat. They went there a few days ago.

Also totally invested in Lucey’s shopping habit.

I could watch him on Instagram all day. Probably the best thing on there at the moment, really interesting to see the background to him working and just the chaos of life.

 

[PastorBake]

I absolutely love him too. He seems to have such a nice, well balanced, laid back attitude to life. One of my most favourite people on Instagram

 

[PastorBake]

He really is a bright little boy. I really like how Lucy and Miguel interact with him, just the right balance of treating him like a kid but also speaking to him like a grown up. They're doing a great job with him.
Still my favourite people on Instagram.

 

[Ladymuckx]

I used to find him great but now they grate on me. He’s popped to the shop for so many minor things, numerous times a week during this pandemic. They clearly come from money and is obvious to those living with ‘one pound meals’ reality. Lucy is over botoxed and he films her in her pants all the time. Over share! His hallway is a fire hazard and don’t get me started on their lack of care for their home letting Charlie colour wherever. What he learns at home with the pencils he’ll think is acceptable elsewhere.

Gosh that felt good!

 

[littlepup]

I don’t think it’s abusing a nursery being open, they’re open for all. It’s allowing a small child to continue early education and socialisation. If I had a small child and felt they could go safely, I wouldn’t take them out to try to keep things as normal as possible and keep their world a bit bigger than just us and our walls.
And if they’re open, they still need to get paid, at least the Barclays aren’t taking the opportunity to save themselves the cash at the expense of the nursery

 

[Unfluencer]

I love both of these two and their little boy. I honestly think this is their real life and I think they are absolutely in love with each other. It’s really refreshing to see a set of parent ‘influencers’ unashamed by the fact that they get childcare and enjoy spending time with each other.

Im not going to lie, I was swooning when he saw a DIY problem (crumbling front wall) and he made a plan, tackled it and saw it through to completion. I have a very low bar for partner material but he passes the test easily

 

[KinLynbin92]

I like his content and like that he shows reality and everyday stuff but did we really have to see 3 glasses full of Charlie’s sick in a restaurant

That's why I had to stop following him weeks ago. I asked him why we had to keep seeing his kids sick ups. He didn't reply
Also I got sick of random no context stories. I don't like his recipes either.
Soz.

 

[Yorkgirl20]

Over the last couple of weeks he has annoyed me. The numerous of different parcels during lockdown. Leaving them piling up in the hallway, talk about fire hazard. Letting Charlie draw all over the place. Get up and take the crayons off him that way he will learn that it's wrong.
