Mrs Meldrum #147 Binny and Leeboy and the Diamond from Dubai

[GhostHoward]

Thank you @Exhaustednurse for the thread title.

For the new thread I feel we should start with Binny’s New Year’s resolutions…

Rebecca let slip that her “pals” call her “Binny” because she never stops eating. Us tattlers wonder if it’s actually a dig at the murder that happened in Marshmallow Mansions and where the son hid his poor dad’s body.
Either way - Great friends you have, Binny.

Wee Leeboy has gifted Binny (in a note which would give a primary school English teacher a heart attack) a diamond of her choice when the go to Dubai in February. I’d suggest that the girls could give him some pointers, but given the amount they take them out of school for holidays they might not be much help.

It has been questioned why they would buy a diamond when they could sort out their patio, house render or boiler, but this IS Binny we’re talking about.

So Lee has said they can’t afford henceforth:

1. Holidays
2. Renovations
3. Eating out so will be "entertaining" at home with miniscule portions
4. Hair colouring and correction disasters
5. Need to cut back on socialising - eg Bongo's Bingo as cant afford it and Binny had meltdowns immediately after
6. Buying non stop shite that never gets used up

Binny needs to start doing more youtube though as they need to make to keep up this facade of a lifestyle as obviously Grandad's inheritance is now fully dissipated.

Stopping "rushing" though? . Oh never change Binny

Beyond excited to make duck all friends in 2024,

go on more long ass walks with the boy, not Lee the other one.

link more bleeping jumpers and leggings for the stupid insecure twats that follow me and take my “fashion advice”
because instead of getting therapy they convince themselves I’m their friend and follow my lead. Well at least 2 or 3 of them.

stop bleaching my hair to a point I resemble Worsel Gommage

Start quoting tit about moons and star signs and posting more “deep and meaningful thoughts” about finding myself.

use more beige. Instagram beige. Act more beige. Embrace how beige my personality is.

get an Elizabeth Duke Argos diamond prior to the chavvy Dubai holiday. For a friend’s birthday gift obviously if any of you cunts see me. Not for myself.

drink more…… water.
Prime? Isn’t that what the cool YouTube kids drink?

Be Happy, Be Present , Be open to new opportunities
(totally putting that on the gram,
now my house is stripped of all Christmas cheer I AM ON FIRE!)

*Fire guard I don’t own linked below with my leggings which are back in stock, but hurry they sell so so fast guyz #aff

Why would you just buy 'a diamond'?? Surely you would want a diamond ring or some nice diamond earrings. What the duck do you do with just a diamond? Or am I misunderstanding?

Hair changes are out apparently……… sureeeeeeee

Imagine actually writing that you dont want to make friends- what on earth?!!!!!

She’ll think that makes her sound lux and boujee, picking out a ‘diamond’ and having it set. When really, we all know it’ll be a QVC number that she’ll try pass off.

I cannot bloody wait for diamond gate February

 

[Holly21]

The whole in/out thing is so full of crap. She’s never wanted to spend time with the girls hence why they’re always in after school activities, camps, clubs etc. No spontaneous holidays yet she’s booked at least 3 already.

All the diamond from Leeboy says to me is he either had no idea what to get her so scrabbled this together or he knew she wouldn’t be grateful for normal presents so felt he had to do this to keep braggy Binny happy. I’d so much rather the small but thoughtful personal gifts I got from my partner like my favourite perfume, a vintage tea tin, a jigsaw of something I really enjoy and love etc because he put thought into them and he knows what I enjoy and what makes me happy.

I see the girls are getting their annual one on one time with Binny how long before she caves and we get a woe is me get my husband home post???

 

[Phil I Buster]

I’m not proud of this but I did a voucher thing like that for my husband because I had duck all idea what to get him. So I did a voucher saying “you choose the holiday you’d like”. Reader, he never did. We sort of forgot about it. The diamond will go the same way.

It’s a tit Agatha Christie story - Binny Meldrum and the mystery of the Dubai Diamond.

Beggy will not forget about the prospect of a diamond to show off to the sheep

 

[Lilah]

Is Dubai known for its jewellers? I'm looking forward to this!

She’ll nip to Accessorize in the airport on the way out. Sorted

Yes, lots of Jumeirah Janes dripping in diamonds. There’s some excellent boutiques but a lot are rip off merchants

 

[curious.alice]

They’ll see them coming. I’d be wary of buying jewellery abroad because I think tourists are often charged more than the locals

My father worked in Dubai and as long as you go to the correct shops there is some stunning jewellery at very good prices - not mentioning them on here as don’t want Becca getting some free advice.
Despite what a lot of people have commented, I do have some items from Dubai that have been valued in the UK at much higher than the purchase price. Not everything is a scam, you need to know where to go.

There is a difference though between valued for insurance reasons / buying new in the UK than the price you would get if you sold it second hand .

 

[Tootoo]

Being harsh on myself….she gets enough honesty when she reads here! Only because she brings it in herself

 

[GhostHoward]

I find diamonds so funny. I inherited a 3 carat diamond ring from a grandparent. One stone. It’s stunning but like duck would I buy it myself. It also, as a vintage stone, for insurance purposes is no where near what it’d be to buy new. Not sure I quite understand it but my insurance is with NFU. They seem pretty competent.

The jewellery I buy myself/my partner gets me is all colourful precious and semi precious stones. I care about what it looks like, not the “name” or “cost” and I think so many people are like me in that respect.
Those who ONLY want diamonds…well…..I have a theory and it’s all about no knickers.

EDIT: I don’t have much jewellery, and I wear it less than I should

I am aware of that

The whole diamond chat is all just a load of crap anyway folks its really not work the conversation to be honest. Lee “boy” will buy her a £100 pair of earrings or some other tit. Its just her desperate way of trying to appear wealthy and like they can go buy “diamonds” ….. from the couple who shop in Lidl and cant even afford to buy new blinds for the house they have lived in for years!!!!!! Its allllllllllllllll a load of WAFFLE.

You’re right. This is a very good point. None of her current diamonds are “real”, so why would this crazy goose chase be?
