RVK_Loves #26 Cooking a baby, living the plywood dream, 10x more tiles than anyone's seen

[Skewbedu]

Grabby over her morning sludge "Husband, I need a collab with Lick paints, where can we paint?"
Benpecked (puts down his Bunty for Girls annual) "Nowhere, my handmaiden, we are skint. Until I can punt out these Toppling Toys, we have 10 x less money than the people on the beach at Sandals"
Grabbuca Salt "But Daddy I want a Lick Collab, all these Insta wannabes have one and I've been featured in the Mail. I don't care how, I want Lick now!
Benpecked (grabbing hold of Bunty for Girls annual as it almost bounces on the table due to flipper quake) Grabbuca, sweetheart be reasonable, since you made that 8p donation to charity for the Pileshit playframe we are skint. I've two kids, your chia habit and a pergola roof to disguise I can't afford to do up the guest room"

Grabbuca "But I need the engagement, the only person offering me gifts is some one man band blind company, I want the big names!"
Benpecked (rolls sleeves even higher than usual) Nope I have no money as I have to pay your brother a wage too and keep my business partner sweet now I've crashed my way into his livelihood. I can't afford to do up the Guest room, plus as I have to sleep in there when you aren't wanting to conceive a child, I like it bland in there. Nope can't do up the guest room"
Grabbuca Salt "OK I'm going to buy a tester pot of Lick paint out of my pocket money then and paint the landing. I'll call it a nursery space and the gifts will come gushing in again"

Benpecked "won't be enough paint in a tester pot"
GS "there will if we don't paint near the radiator properly or cut in around the edges"

VOILA JOB DONE

Hamlet in a few years time

 

[MeliBelly]

Poor Hammy Potter already an after thought before he was born. Unless this is just for temporary content?
Perhaps once he's born and ready for his proper bedroom, Grabelza can hang up her ovaries, Benpecked moves full time to the snug, Bentos gets the guest room and Hammy gets the Prisoner of Arsekebab cot room

Hammy Potter!!! You win Tattle

New thread title:

Hammy Potter and the prison crib of doom. Baby in the corridor coz Grabs needs her “guest” bedroom.

She looks like Stevie Wonder in this photo!

RVk #27idea -

Hammy Potter's Mum is styling the seasons, his cot's on the landing... For various reasons

All the above being said.... the old house was soooooooo much nicer than the current one.

I’ve lurked on these threads for a while. Beggy Becky and myself, used to mutually follow each other years and years ago. Back when I was half arsed about Insta.

RVK was one of the accounts that I followed, that made me feel pretty pants about myself.... she’s younger than me, had the big white wedding (I had a budget), the dream homes, the holidays, the husband earning 10x more.... It got to a point that I closed my relatively large account to ‘get away’ and start again with a smaller following... but she found me again

Anyway, long story short, I returned to my original account and had my very longed for daughter. I guess I turned into a bit of a baby bore... as I noticed that after a couple of months she had unfollowed me. Along with THTMM, which came as a HUGE relief to me, because I could now unfollow THEM!
For some stupid reason, I had continued to follow them both, despite not liking their contact for a long time, out of some stupid loyalty for the original Insta days. When we first came across each other, with a couple of hundred followers.

HOW STUPID IS THAT?! Anyway, thanks to my daughter coming along. I saw the light; and my account is purely for me. Down to a couple of hundred followers, compared to a few thousand years ago.


And yeah, I was a bit of an F&B wanker in the day.... but actually I’ve repainted my whole house in Dulux, bar my daughter’s room. And I would do it again over F&B any day!


I’m very glad to read people that see through these girls. I thought it was just me; being jealous and a bitch..... yay! I’m not alone!

That's because Freya thinks babies sleep in weird places like the landing!

Grabby’s House

How it started: shabby chic
How it’s going: scabby shit

 

[Thedreamteam]

I’m not even sure why a baby/child would require such a large wardrobe.

Because all of her clothes are age 10

 

[Right on top of that rose]

Wait for the grid post

“S N O W

this little chicklet had the best Sunday ever in her first experience of Its kind of like I don’t want these cold, crisp winter days to end? It’s a tricky one though, because I cannot wait for spring and looking forwards to brighter, sunnier, warmer days.”

My OH didn’t fancy Bridgerton from the ads so I watched it alone while he did other things. But every time he came in while I was watching it was when there was shagging going on and he was like ‘what are you watching? I thought it was some Jane Austen crap but it’s actually porn!’ He now calls it Fingerton.

Am I alone in finding this disturbing? This reads like a child being tucked into bed. This was 2011 after she'd finished her A levels and before she started her degree.

You definitely aren’t
Her blog posts on South Asia are a real treat for those who haven’t had the joy.

Here are some gems:

In some parts you wouldn't even know you're in Asia with all the westernisation.

I was a nervous wreck. We couldn't stay here and quickly got on our laptop to book something back in lovely Luang Prabang that we missed more than ever at this point. We thankfully got a last minute booking at a five star plantation style hotel.

Vietnamese food was nice but we went mad for Western food when we got a chance and spent a quarter of a million dong at Fanny's ice cream parlour one evening!

Such a pair of bellends.

I know it’s waaaay too early but... new thread suggestion
Too self obsessed and have alllllll the shit clothes, didn’t want a boy, so into the hallway Hamlet goes

 

[Sunshine&clouds]

I'm gutted she hasn't been giving us all some upcyling tips to get us through lockdowns. My particular favourite is the incredibly complex upcycling of posh candle jars. I warn you, it's not easy to do, so read this carefully. Basically, you need to wash inside the jar, without getting any water on the 'look at me, I have posh candles' label, as it might then peel off leaving a small worthless jar. Then shove cotton buds in it (Part 1) and you've made, er, a glass jar, or shove a flower in it (Part 2) and abracadabra it's a vase!

Phoebe’s latest instastory I’m dead

 

[Sunshine&clouds]

They've been super busy and the nursery is almost finished.

Her # on latest post! Can we hibernate till spring. Errr Rebecca that is basically what the government have been telling you to do!!

Ben has no friends because he started a relationship with a 13 year old when he was 23/24. Would anyone in their right mind seriously stay in touch with him?
Even if they didn’t know about it when she was 13, the fact they ‘got together properly a couple of years later’ and celebrated a 7 year anniversary in 2013... she was only 20. I can imagine any friends would have jumped ship a long time ago.

Side note- it’s a pleasure scrolling all the way through her Instagram. There are some absolute gems. Sickening, sickening gems.

Does this explain why they don’t drink and don’t socialise with his mates much; Benpecked couldn’t take her to the pub to meet his mates like most 23/24 year olds?

Can you imagine it “hi lads this is Becky, she’ll just have a Panda pop this round and we better only make it one drink as she’ll have to go home when the food service stops...”

*Tried to get a Lick collab... couldn't.
Despite them giving one to every Tom, Dick(Head) or Grabby. Me thinks Toots is losing her brand

Careful love. You don’t question Rebecca’s decision making. She’s a higher being than the rest of us. Be careful now, you’ll get a passive agressive reply or worse still blocked for your insolence
