A walk with friends this morning? It's Friday. Does anyone she know have a job to go to?!
Or she could just be going for a walk on her own and making the friends bit up to sound popular, as they aren't in the photo?

Anyone else feel that the way she pans her camera round on her latest IG story to show all the cards and her super-tidy living room is dripping in smugness? I think this is sending a dangerous message to new mums (especially those who don't get any/much help) that their homes should be kept spick and span and in perfect order while adjusting to life with a newborn. Pretty irresponsible and depressing IMO.
She is super smug. The thing is that is only one room in her house. As my nan used to call it "The Good Room", nobody went it unless she had guests, so it was always super tidy. Heavens knows what the rest of the house looks like, probably like a bomb hit it. Rebecca will never let you see this side, it doesn't fit in with her 'perfect' life!

Mum friends? NCT group?

My sister in law puts up pics of her mima pram just to show it off. What is that about??? Why wud anyone rather put up a pic of a pram as opposed to a pic of their lovely baby. What have we all become. Grabby does the same thing. Sad sad sad

My house would look thar clean if I permanently had my husband, mum and dad round on stand by to help with the baby, cut the grass, do the washing and make beds and food shopping and whatever else she said they were doing.

The rest of the world dont get that privlige. Tgey manage alone because any support they are lucky enough to have, actual have to go to work too.

They all seem to have all the time in the bloody world. Her mum is fanning around making the 'fruit platter of dreams' today. Bravo. They are utterly ridiculous.

How sad that the one gift for her newborn baby that stands out to her is a PR freebie of some cookies. So thoughtful. I'd be so insulted if I was one of her friends who probably have put a lot of thought into their gifts! But maybe it doesn't make the gram because it doesn't fit into her image/can't help her get anymore freebies.

Not even a humble brag but ‘look how I have my tit together with my tidy house, all these cards, my F&M hamper just casually on the window sill and I’m sitting here in my size 6/8 shorts and my house full of free tit!’

This makes me really sad, as someone who always makes a huge effort with presents for friends’ babies I would be insulted and probably upset that free stuff is really all she cares about...

I had more cards than that with my first. Jog on Rebecca 🤣

This has made me so mad. It’s so cringe! I wish she’d stop it!

Oh my god. The GIFTED cookies....bleeping fuckety duck off. She thinks she is a cut above but she is actually GROSS! She ignites a rage inside me because she is so GREEDY and UNCOUTH!!! I’m sorry Grabby but you are and I actually feel sorry for you. You can’t even get contentment from being a new mum. So very very sad. You’re going to feel so guilty when you’re older and mature and you look back on this. I hope you find a good therapist because you’ll need it (if you don’t already).

I would love to see her manage in a small house, husband back at work - working normal/long hours, family who also actually have to work for a living. And see her get on and deal with everyday life - like an actual grownup.

It really is business as usual with the tagging and the affiliate links and the gifts and the mirror selfies isn't it. So much for maternity leave. I could actually understand a few posts on her grid to show the baby but the stories haven't eased up at all. I really struggle to wrap my head around how someone with a 2 week old baby can have the desire or energy to post all those captions, put links on etc. just to earn "a few pennies" in commission.
Mrs Hinch has posted less than her...thought I would never say that.

Yes. Don’t ask me what though. Grabby is very low down
Social Blade.

This! I feel like she’s actually still very much a child. Her parents did everything for her/provided everything for her, and then once she was 15 (🤢) they handed the baton over to the cradle snatcher. She’s never had to stand on her own two feet once. She’d never cope if she had the kind of lifestyle you’ve described.

Our house is that clean and is a bit bigger (we are in North America, where house sizes and prices are vastly different to the UK). The difference between Grabby and my husband and I is that we realise how lucky we are. And it is only that clean 'cause I got laid off and have feck all else to do. It can be mind-numbingly boring. I can't imagine CHOOSING to live in such a mundane life.

There is a new trend to call doing ordinary, everyday things 'adulting'. This is generally said by friends of my 17 year old daughter and the like who still live quite sheltered lives with their parents . But this is how I see HER life, playing at being an adult - choosing the bits she likes the best and being sheltered from the harsh realities such as inflexible working hours, financial worries, separation from family etc .

She lives a VERY sheltered life. I get the impression Ben handles all the bills etc. I think she’d have a panic attack if she had to do anything that requires any real effort. Case in point - rather than learn the ASA rules and declare things properly, she tries to get away with doing the bear minimum and then when she’s reported she cries that she’s been bullied/victimised and that the rules “are complicated and always changing” 🙄 Try being a teacher, or a lawyer, or an electrician, where the guidelines/law/curriculum are constantly changing and you’re just expected to keep up to date as part of your career. She’d never cope in the real world in million years. I mean FFS, she ‘gave up’ (read never even started) her law career as she couldn’t hack the commute 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

Given that she’s been publicly reprimanded by the ASA in the past you’d think she’d have learnt. My understanding is that they issue guidance and support when first reported and only if that is ignored do they go after you..... given that Mrs hinch has only been in receipt of guidance and has not been publicly reprimanded I think that shows how poor rvk is. She seems to think she can interpret the rules and often will think she’s being clever by adding a nuance to things to make it sound like something else. Like the Portugal review that she made sound like they’d commissioned her to write an article whereas it was an ad or her bio (now changed) that she was a top blogger as named by the Sunday times - making it sound like she’d come out top in a list rather than mentioned and briefly interviewed for an article 2 years ago.
Not to mention the vitamin and bloom & wild incidents where she was found to have deceived her “clients”.
