To be fair some builders use really cheap gloss that yellows and never do enough coats of white emulsion on the walls so they do look tatty quite quickly. We bought a new build nearly 18 months ago and our gloss was yellow within 9 months but we’ve repainted everywhere and reglossed. Something she should’ve done before putting it up for sale!That house hasn’t aged well-patchy paint, yellowing woodwork. I think like most things she does, putting it up for sale is done on impulse. Decluttering is one thing, but I also think lots of people will decorate to flip their houses.
Couldn’t believe it when she was talking about photoshopping her own pictures & as if they are going to replace the turf in the garden before they go!
Yep! Mine’s a Persimmon new build - the gloss has gone yellow and must be very plastic based as it peels off in strips!To be fair some builders use really cheap gloss that yellows and never do enough coats of white emulsion on the walls so they do look tatty quite quickly.

That’s not great. Our new build is almost 5 years old & the woodwork looks white still, I think our developer must have used a water based paint though.Yep! Mine’s a Persimmon new build - the gloss has gone yellow and must be very plastic based as it peels off in strips!
Be intresting to see what happens to Ella when she turns 16 or 18 and no longer has to live 50% of the time with them, see if she still stays around or if Mik wants to ship her offThat’s not great.

More thought goes into moving surely, I know we’ve deliberated for months over finances, movement in the market & then preparing the house to sell, you can only stage a house so much. I can’t wait to see the pictures when it is listed, will be interesting to see if the bar & pool in the back garden are shown.
Maybe they are making the most of the stamp duty holiday but the plan was always to move at the end of next year, surely that’s when they would be looking to remortgage or sell up & go their separate ways? Something just isn’t right in that house at the moment. Not helped that her friend Caz is building their own place, she always seems like the poorer friend playing catch up, like with her car.
Really feel for Ella, she needs so stability in this uncertain climate.
The patchy paint on the walls is from where she half arsed “patches it up” when she’s taken pictures down and things. She never paints a full wall lol. The yellow gloss is just what the builders use. I have a new build and ours did the same after a year or so. I reckon they never bothered with decoration etc. Because they weren’t planning on living there more than 5 yearsThat house hasn’t aged well-patchy paint, yellowing woodwork.

I‘m fairly new to this channel, but if Ella has a different dad I assume she spends some nights/weekends with him? Maybe the thinking is that if Milo is living at the house full time then he should have a bigger room whereas Ella is splitting her time so her room can be slightly smaller? I don’t have kids so I don’t know if this would be considered fair but if this is the reason behind it I understand the thought process.I don't understand why Ella always gets the smallest bedroom. When talking about the new house in the vlog today she says about the third bedroom being for Ella. Why can't milo, being the youngest, have the small room? That would make you feel really shitty if you're the child who has a different dad and you're the oldest but you're always shoved in the box room. I remember when they went on holiday and Milo had the huge bed in the hotel and Ella had to sleep on a sofa.
Also, in the comments I noticed she'd replied to someone to say that her parents will be putting all their stuff into storage and are moving in with her brother! Wait, what? So now her poor parents will be squeezed in with her brother instead.
Exactly. It’s the hair, the car, the house, the designer bags....she’s always one (Hundred) steps behindThat’s not great. Our new build is almost 5 years old & the woodwork looks white still, I think our developer must have used a water based paint though.

I hope no one wants to see inside the garage!You can see why her parents are seemingly shitty about the whole thing, not helping, can’t store more in the garage, she’s kicking them out to her brothers before they’re ready. The parents are probably happy for it not to sell and to stay put until their agreed 5 years. What a disaster the whole thing will have been.
I’m sure she recently said her mum had a job interview...The whole point of the 5 year thing was to wait until her parents retired and they'd be able to then buy somewhere. So presumably they have another year until they retire if she's wanting to move this year instead of next. That's really selfish of her if she's bailing out before they're ready to.
