Rvk Loves #42 You Got this Oil Change Mama

[Clare]

Sheeeeeee’s beeeeeen!! Grabby delivered the goods and they haven’t disappointed

 

[Sw4]

Thing is that might backfire on Grabs spectacularly. Freya cannot be in a pushchair forever and if she then HATES walking because she never was used to it it’s going to make her mum’s frantic expeditions difficult…

I saw them walking out as a family once and frantic is the right word, she walks as if a BMW is tailgating her.

 

[Meringue22]

Excuse me while I roll my eyes out of my head at her predictably
And what the actual fuck is this picture?!

 

[Mogtheforgetfulmum]

My 4 year old can drive a car. She just needs help with the pedals and gearstick

 

[Meringue22]

I think Grabathena shoves Freya in the buggy as it’s easier. She can walk faster and further without Freya holding her up. Plus it’s extra weight to push and more calories burnt off

 

[okdo2022]

Has anyone told her the rest of the population left Coca Cola ham in 2010 where it belongs.

 

[MissTeddy]

Well Grabby’s idea of baking is packet mix brownies so ….yeah.

So this is how I think it goes in Sterling Towers, Grabby‘s latest titbit has given us quite the insight…

I think she eats at 5pm with the children, puts Frah to bed and I think she then goes up to bed with Waffy in her bedroom at 7ish And they both sleep in there… Unless he genuinely does sleep in his corridor of neglect?

Then I think Benjamino sits up, watching his “boys tv” and browsing porn hub until retiring to the spare room.

Then Grabs springs out of bed at 5.30am ready for a bracing run round South Hemel / North Watford in the dark before she’s allowed to break her fast a 9am.

Ben does some more boys stuff e.g. WORK whilst Grabby pushes the world‘s largest buggy manically around to justify having some lunch.

So dreamy.

This is a grown adult talking about Christmas day with 4 other adults & no kids. She’s an absolute loon.

 

[Guiltypleasure]

“I want, and like, to build my friends up, tell them how amazing they are, encourage them to go after their dreams…..Women supporting women {and men!} is a wonderful thing.”

Didn’t she fall out with a close friend because their sister copied Grabbys kitchen?

 

[Stewart123]

Just watching those stories is exhausting! London Zoo, Covent Garden, Somerset House, Hamleys Regent Street and then Electric Cinema. That’s about 3 day-trips worth of stuff for a toddler. Genuinely baffled at how they can drag two little ones around London all day?! Surely they don’t have time to actually enjoy any of it. They’re too busy rushing straight on to the next activity to take a photo and check it off her list!

 

[MissTeddy]

who does she think she is ‘releasing’ their annual Christmas picture like they are Kate & William ??!

 

[hereforthe_tea]

You just know it’s the same lipstick she digs out each year too. Probably an expensive one Benpecked bought her when she was 15

 

[Justcyrious]

Doesn’t sit right with me that she starts with an intro on how they won’t be spending much on presents and then proceeds to post a bunch of aff links for rather expensive toys. She didn’t earn the nickname Grabby for nothing…
There are people who do a lot of research on gift guides and put together really informed ones. I’m happy for them to get a cut of my purchase. The ones who throw random aff links at you? Not so much.

 

[Ridandroo]

"..how magical this season is...I would say properly for the first time this year..." Yawn

Is it Freya and Raffys ‘first proper Christmas’ again this year?

 

[French toast]

Dicky things on the rvk gram today:
-"Running makes me a better human"
- Saying she's "beyond proud" of everything.
-putting wanky berries on her porridge
- Whinging there isn't time to run when she doesn't work

 

[Charlotte_Sometimes]

Excuse me while I roll my eyes out of my head at her predictably
And what the actual fuck is this picture?!

It’s like the scene out of The Exorcist!!

 

[Katiearchiedan]

I have a little one who is a couple of months younger than Freya and yes sometimes he *tries* to refuse to wear a coat. Just like he tries to refuse a lot of things. Because he is 3.

But we deal with the tantrum because we are his parents and he quickly realises that he won't be allowed to go out without a coat on and he comes round to the idea. If she can't get her to wear one now then what hope does she have for when she's older.

Also, we lead by example. We hadn't yet pulled out the full winter gear for my 3 year old as it had been quite mild but my husband went out in the evening with our dog and put his woolly hat on and sure as hell, the next day little one wanted his hat out. I don't doubt that part of the problem with Freya is the fact she sees her dad almost never wearing a coat. Grabby seems to think it's funny that he doesn't wear a coat but maybe he needs to think about his role as a father now and the example he is setting.

By the way...I am not professing to be the perfect parent and my 3 year old is currently eating lunch with his tablet on but I do have some non negotiable rules when it comes to looking after his health like dressing appropriately for the weather.

Well if you believe what they all say, it's "a very small commission", or "pennies". Yeah right.

This makes my blood boil. Erica Davies says it and she has a large, engaged following. It is absolutely NOT a small commission.

But even for Becky, who has a smaller disengaged following, it is lucrative commission for almost no effort.

Becks affiliate links the stove fan. It’s literally a quick photo with an affiliate link to embed a cookie on her follower’s device which tracks her commission.

The fan is £23.79. (I clicked the link because I don’t shop at Amazon!)

Amazon pays up to 12% affiliate commission.

But it looks like on homewares Amazon pays 7/8%. We’ll use 7%.

7% of £23.79 = £1.6653

Becky has 93500 followers. 0.5% of her followers is 467.5 people. If those people all purchase a fan…

467.5 x £1.6653 = £788.53

Becks makes £788.53 commission on a lazy photo posted on stories.

Some retailers will pay commission on every purchase you make. So Becky is counting on you doing some Christmas shopping at the same time you buy the fan - maybe an Xbox and TV for the kiddies £££££. Other retailers keep the cookie active for up to six weeks - so Becks would earn affiliate commission right up to the Boxing Day sales.

But my understanding is Amazon has really tightened up its affiliate program and the cookie window is only until the first purchase has been made or twenty four hours, whichever comes first.

Amazon is advertising the Ooni pizza maker on the same page as the fan. It’s £299. Here’s the figures with a more expensive item purchased by fewer followers:

7% of £299 = £20.93
0.25% of 93500 followers = 233.75 people
233.75 x £20.93 = £4892.39

Erica Davies frequently links expensive clothes and shoes, plus the commission on those items is 12%. Becky links expensive items like prams and carseats.

It’s not ‘pennies’, and even if they are paying tax on affiliate commission (and who knows with influencers), it’s still lucrative income for low effort.

The size of Raffy’s coat
Why does she insist on buying things 10 times too big, lady!

So that’s why Ben never wears a coat. Raffy stole it !

Sorry main hoover is broken? Which one of the ones she has advertised recently is this? Also, how has it broken? From lack of use…? Did she drop something on it in the locker room from hell? Did it fall over during one of her foot stomping tantrums?

Those were probably sold as preloved before she even posted the ad.

She’s done a gift guide but most of her recommendations are vouchers for stuff How boring!

Writes a post saying any specific people you need help buying for ask away… then replies well it all depends on their interests and recommends vouchers! I think personal shoppers across the country will be relieved their jobs are safe
