I started following the Hinch when she had around 2,500 followers, I got suckered into the Minkeh thing, although, they’re a load of rubbish and I’ve binned them all because they have all bunched up!
I never liked the mono-tone-home, but she felt like someone who accidentally found herself finding this ‘fame’. I only found Tattle around 6 weeks ago and have lurked since then and now everything makes sense.
I’m a single parent with 2 daughters, full time working and I have to save like mad to get anything done, and what I noticed was that one minute she was saying ‘I need storage’ and the next it was there, so unrealistic. I started to get jealous that I couldn’t just post on Instagram and someone would solve my problems. Then she started getting all these freebies for Ron and I felt like ..I know so many homeless mothers who would benefit from the generosity of these companies, instead, it all gets gifted to someone who takes it all for granted. Then I started to get angry with her, watching her stories with gritted teeth. When the extension and the pergola and then the plastic grass went down I had to stop following. I live in a rental, my garden is wood chipped, I’d love to turf it, but I can’t. I just cannot.
So much to say but this whole thing today with Tesco has sent me over the edge!
