I thought that it was bullshit that they've had to walk on eggshells around him while he's been working from home the past year. I know it's not ideal to have kids screaming their heads off while you're on a conference call, but it's just unnecessary to have the whole family tip toe around you - it's their house too!
I have at least 2 video calls a day with clients and our exec team - my dog barks any time the postman comes past or my neighbours get into their car. I've seen colleagues' partners and kids in the background during their calls. So many of us are in the same boat having to work from home and everyone I know is sympathetic to the odd noise or gatecrashing toddler.

I kind of get why people need help with this. My day job does deal with having to help bin stuff and you'd be amazed by the utter shite people want to hang onto. However what some of the "professional organisers" charge is far highly than my hourly salary. Maybe I need to set up my own business and charge 8 times what I make an hour 
She was asked in a Q&A what he does once and I think she said something to do with marketing/advertising.
Yeah I do find it strange how they'll splurge on expensive cars but have a modest house and scrimp on the day to day items. I used to think they had to live frugally to afford for her not to work, but then they're clearly not struggling for money. They're planning a garage conversion which she said they're using the money they would normally have used on holidays.

Organised_motherhood_ is my fave! She is a lovely, down to earth person who responded to messages that I sent her. There used to be her rave thread here but seems like it's deleted now?

I’m in the wrong job. Best part of a grand for someone to tell you to send your unwanted crap to the charity shop and put what’s left in box

I was confused with what she was saying though.
shes not going to be posting anymore on the OM Instagram page but she’s leaving it online.
she’s going to still have her you tube channel
she’s got a “private” Instagram account but she kept saying “oh I might see you over there if you want to see what I’m up to next” - so is she accepting follow requests from anyone who asks? Is she opening that up as a public account?
it sounded more like she just wants to
Drop the whole “organisational” aspect of her social media identity rather than go completely off line?

Whenever she mentions her husband he sounds like a bit of a weirdo/control freak...! There seems to be an undertone there, she definitely seems to be harbouring a bit of resentment towards him. Find her relationship with money a bit strange too - they strike me as people who are probably comfortablely off and have no real money worries but who won’t turn the heating on “because it costs money” or who spend hours on price comparison sites trying to save a few quid on a holiday or whatever.I used to like Kelly but since her account got bigger I think she’s changed. Got a bit precious and often came across as smug and full of herself. I watched her YouTube explanation for why she is not going to be using her account anymore and my God talk about drag it out. Leave while the audience are still clapping love. Off you fucking pop dear

I quite like Kelly but she is very high and mighty. She also goes on all the time about how busy she is which is annoying when she doesn't work 
. Although saying that I bet she earns a right chunk from her neals yard stuff.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here; sometimes there was a bit of martyrdom and I found it a bit miserable to listen to sometimes. The only thing is I feel like it’s her actual personality and that she’s at least being her true self online which can’t be said for a lot of others. Obviously some influencers go overboard with consumerism, Kelly is nearly too far the other way for me. I found her a bit petulant sometimes as well - like she clearly resented not having a job but was very stubborn about not developing her page and making money off it, high and mighty as others have said. The decision to quit while she was doing her no-spend March (complete with template which she had encouraged others to do too) seems a bit odd. I know she explained her reasons but still seemed very sudden. Husband does come across a bit odd I agree, especially how she said he’s banned from viewing her stories.
Overall I did follow her and like her, I just found she grated on me from time to time but I do respect she’s done the best thing for her so good luck to her.

There’s being shrewd and then there’s just being a stingy bastardWhat’s wrong with thatthat’s usually how people have money because they are shrewd with it
I really liked Kelly and was surprised she was leaving. Her page was quite varied and not dominated by organising. She said she'll still share any good organising tips on her new page (guessing for the amazon aff link). Not much difference from what I've seen so far minus the followers

I can only remember San Sebastian and St Lucia. She drives a jag so not completely tight
My guess would be that they overpay the mortgage so that they can get the rural dream she wants sooner and thinks its worth not spending on other bits. She fascinates me a bit I don't know why. Probably need to get out more

Yeah they were due to go to Disney Florida last year weren’t they? So yeah - I’m mean for the 4 of them that’s an easy £10K there on that holiday so makes sense to use it for a home project.
