I consider our family to be fairly comfortable and I couldn’t justify buying more than 3, especially at the rate they grow out of things. How on earth can she think it is helpful to encourage people to buy 5 sets of uniforms?? I just feel like these influencers need to pick a lane and stick to it because I don’t think that you get to shell out “advice” for normal families when your family is so atypical. It’s not normal for both parents to be able to stay home and it’s not normal for free things to turn up on your doorstep and it’s not normal to be sent on free holidays. As an extreme example, can you imagine the backlash if Kim Kardashian started giving out parenting advice?? I think once they start showing the more privileged parts of their lives, they lose all credibility with their normal relatable mum act. They just need to own their new lifestyle and stop playing the “just like you” card when it suits them, which I suspect is only when they want to bump up engagement.
Mrs Meldrum #44 So so tiny, still whiny, advertisers departed, still poses like she’s farted!

How is a “wear, wash and spare” not sufficient?! Of course she NEEDS 5 of everything! I could understand 5 polo shirts but even 2 x cardigans and pinafores would be fine for them starting school. Schools not even out for another 2 and a half weeks in aberdeen and she’s making out like normally she’s so so organised.. no Reb, usually next PR have sent you the uniforms but that ship seems to have sailed this yuuur.
I really enjoy watching Dina Tokio, she isn’t really a mummy vlogger but does family vlogs. Her and her husband did an ad for Visit Dubai and visiting Amsterdam, they showed a family holiday, plenty of activities for children...they do not show their children though. I do not know what the children look like, what nursery they attend, what their routine is...that is how it can be done effectively.
I agree with you completely, it’s scary how exploited some of the family vlogger children are and it saddens me when the parents start covert filming or repeatedly ignore requests to turn the camera off. What does that teach your child...that these anonymous strangers are worth more than your self respect and dignity?!
It's mad to think that there are people right now planning on buying 5 sets of school uniforms because of her top tip
I have put two children through primary school and believe me you do not need that many!
The thoughts of four complete sets of uniforms going through the wash or in the washbasket after only one wear makes my teeth itch...all that extra work apart from the environmental impact of all that unnecessary washing!
And is F attending the same school as S?What about hand me downs?

Aldi kicks off school uniform price war with entire bundle for less than £5
The chain has launched a pack of two polo shirts, sweatshirt and skirt or trousers for £4.50 - 10% less than the 2018 price
19th July. Lidls also do uniform.
I don't mind the trousers and skirts
Socks and underwear.
Prefer Tesco or asda polos.
Second week in July I heard, but that’s Scotland. Have to admit, my daughter has five polo shirts, but they have done her the past three years
, wash then stick on a hanger to dry and don’t need ironing. they are brilliant. Also thought ahead for my eldest at academy and invested in men’s no iron shirts, and he has one a day as they can be stinky, and think I will get another term at least with them. But as far as trousers and skirts, they have two pairs.My two (boys) did have 5 shirts and honestly, they are dirt cheap in Asda. Only had one pair of trousers though which got washed at the weekend or if necessary swilled through when they got home and dried ready for next day. I doubt she means 5 blouses, 5 pinafores etc. Imagine all that ironing. yuck.
She is tagging any brand she can

I think she does!! I can understand a pack of 5 polo shirts but not 5 cardigans!!! Like ZC772 I would be more inclined to wash, wear and spare (3 sets). With school bag, schools shoes, jacket, lunch box , P.E kit and so on for multiple children it seems excessive IMO. Screams of someone that has never struggled financially and/or never never actually paid with their own money! Seriously who is her target audience??

So
She's so sneaky still.
So this wire picture garland is really a undeclared gift or ad if her friends business.
She's so sneaky still.
If she reads here @Kermit you have just put her out of a job
With 4 kids I shopped throughout the year and got some good bargains, secondary school had a specific skirt/ trousers and the boys had blazers that had to be from Clive Marks so the cheapest items were the shirts. Kids wouldn't wear Clarke's in secondary so it cost a bomb to buy whatever was the current school craze. One wage coming in it was pretty tight and all that me time was non existent! My work out was pushing a double buggy!!! Happy days!I have to admit I buy 5 trousers and 5 polos for my boy . He doesn’t have to wear branded so I buy Asda etc . The only reason I do this though is because my husband and I both work long hours and I feel better organised knowing it’s all laid out ready for the week ahead and I don’t have to worry about daily laundry / ironing. I buy one school
Polo for photos and a couple of jumpers which get alternated . We can afford this , budget for it and 100% if we were both at home all day everyday we would not be doing it this way !

Lieing cocunt again
The freind she's buying pom pom garland from allegedly probably do kindly gifted Mrs Meldrum in return for coverage.
That will look lovely but won't pay the bills.
Reason I'm skeptical is the business is based in Cambridge and reb lives Aberdeen Scotland!

Not to mention telling her clueless sheep to buy things they don't need.

Sorry to go back. I was just catching up.
The comment about the hand you were dealt. Wow just wow. She really doesn’t have a clue about people, about different humans lives. About trauma, about what people go through. How much some people have had to work on to be well enough to work. And how grateful people are for what she would consider is a crap life.

@Peeltheavocado she really doesn’t have a clue, all this bullshit!!
Have said it before but if she was living like a lot of people do, like the people that have to use foodbanks, or have to care for sick parents or children, or those that have to know where every penny goes, she would get such a bleeping shock.
My job is very social and I speak to a lot of people in HR and the oil industry, and have heard stories of people literally being made redundant and within a week having to hand back keys to fancy cars and loosing homes as they just can’t afford to keep up the standard of living.
She is away with the bleeping fairies, to be that out of touch with reality is a joke.
Anyone I know would love to be able to have half of the time that that pair of divs have to spend with their kids, but have to work! And they don’t even realise or appreciate what they have with those three crackers of young girlies. They really bring it in themselves

Hi everyone
Been lurking for a week. I’m a long time follower of Mrs M, since my first child, I now have two.
I started to go off her when she got really desperate and grabby, however that was nothing compared to what I’ve seen recently. I cannot believe how desperate she’s become, all the tagging and hinting! I just don’t like it, it is so distasteful! Yesterday’s stories I couldn’t believe and then tagging companies begging for her 5 uniforms was shocking! Does she not see how noticeable it is Jesus, the woman can’t buy uniform. And that’s what tipped me over the edge and is why I’m here!
I couldn’t believe the comments she was making about people being angry with the life they’ve got, and the ‘hand they were dealt with’ is she serious! They don’t do anything, they spend days drinking tea and walking about, living in a house that’s all gifted!
Thanks Rebecca, but just because most people don’t have a stay at home husband and a gifted life doesn’t mean they’re angry! I have an hard working husband, 2 beautiful girls, a beautiful house, and get this, because he works hard for us I can buy things for said house that actually match, and exactly what I want, Oh and a kitchen, because that’s what happens when you work hard.
Sorry for the very long post, just letting it all out.

I have to admit my daughter has 5 polos, 5 skirts/pinafores, and 5 cardigans, only 1 cardy will be one with the school badge, I just find it easier to be organised,
