Hi all,
Short time lurker, new member.
I’ve been using the zofloras, flashes and cloths and instagramming and cleaning my house since early 2016 when i nested with my son, back then i followed Lindsey QOC (i love her, but she’s so full of ads now) and Jotties Journal, among others.
It was a nice little habit I got myself into as I wasn’t an extremely clean person before (i was never dirty but i’d happily chuck my clothes on the floor or leave dirty dishes until the next day) so i’m greatful that the ‘fad’ of cleaning came to instagram because nearly three years later i’m one of the cleanest people i know.
Anyway, when Hinch came on the scene I followed her and got sucked into it, more than I’d like to admit.. I was buying six or seven zoflora bottles in one go which only brought raised eyebrows from my other half. I would frantically clean my bathroom after an eight hour day at work, instead of spending time with my son... I slipped into postnatal depression quite quickly, it became messy and my lowest point was my partner stumbling in on me scrubbing some black mould while crying hysterically that I wasn’t a good enough mother because I couldn’t keep the mould away.
I unfollowed when I started medication and therapy and was told to cut the toxicity out of my life that was making me obsessive. I haven’t looked back and nearly two years later I feel so much better and have a baby girl on the way! I found this thread a few days ago when I saw an advert on the TV (WHAT?!) all about Mrs. Hinch and how glam and housewifey she is. I was gobsmacked that she was even in the paper let alone that I saw an advert for it, she doesn’t even clean?!
Anyway, that led me here and I’m now nine (?) threads deep and I can’t believe I didn’t see all of this before. The sooner Mrs. Hinch dissapears of instagram - the better.
