Greeting you’ve got £1.50 to your name then less than 24 hours later your kids have trainers for £50 a pop.
so relatable. so genuine. 4 weeks to Christmas, folk are terrified about how they will buy their kids Christmas presents or be able to heat their homes, choosing between eating and heating.
actually don’t know how she shuts her eyes and sleeps at night.
Regarding all these messages.. I wonder if she’s found folk on Facebook via Instagram or whatever and she’s sending out these threats claiming to know they made complaints to brands about her. I wonder if she’s trying to bait people? It’s a pretty dangerous game to play as if I was a brand I wouldn’t want to be associated with someone who claimed to obtain personal and confidential information.
what I’m saying is she’s talking shite she got any information from brands and basically trying to put the willies up people.
I was in a meeting this morning with some friends concerning voluntary and charitable organisations we are all involved with and the added stress that Christmas brings.
In an earlier post I had mentioned Adam Kay's observation how the combination of "wonderful christmas' songs, instagram exaggerators and John Lewis type advertisements - none of which are 'real life', is enough to tip many over the edge at Christmas.
One of our group has recently had a close family bereavement and had been talking to a local funeral director who is taking a break this week, as they cannot take a break between the 22nd December and the end of January as it is their busiest time. You would assume it was from the elderly succumbing to winter bugs or the result of falling on icy pavements but although they do experience an increase in elderly deaths, the greatest increase in demand at this time is death by suicide, the pressures of the festive season, emotionally & financially is often the last straw.
Her posts today have hit a very raw nerve for me following that meeting.
All the mumbo jumbo about her 'mental load' and 'spinning plates a little slower'. When as a mother has she had to make the decision to go without food for a few days so what little food in the house goes to the children ? The two pairs of trainers which are just a 'kindly gifted' add on, less than a month before Christmas rubbed in the faces of those who are hoping that perhaps one of the charities will have their child(ren) on a list to get a Christmas Eve box, or one Christmas present or invited to a community party just before Christmas which will mean that at least they have had one festive meal this season - albeit not on Christmas Day and in the company of other vulnerable children and not in their family home.
Earlier this year an Australian Press outlet described how influencers "document their lives on Instagram — which can be a haven for over-exaggerators and the wannabe rich and famous" Anyone sound familiar.
