Shamsa

[gypsymoth]

omg!! i have just found this lady....what a breath of fresh air!!

love her

Oh my goodness.. Baby no7. I love shamsa but I am getting the feeling that she must be claiming a LOT of money for all of her kids. Massive congrats to her though and as usual, she is motivating and such a busy bee it puts me to shame and I only have 1 lol.

They can't claim any money for the three youngest children, there has been a two child limit in place since April 2017. They would be entitled to claim for the four older children if they had a claim in payment prior to that date for Child Tax Credits. However, we don't know their income so let's not focus on means tested benefits, they are complicated enough to calculate for actual benefit officers

I love Shamsa! Have watched her for ages, she cracks me up and leaves me in awe.

I love Shamsa too. She’s a breath of fresh air in the vapid cesspit of the more popular mum bloggers. I’ve watched her on and off for years. Found her through her Poundland hauls. Absolutely no airs or graces and is naturally funny. Her cooking channel is great as well.

It's hard in this day and age to find people like Shamsa. She seems very genuine, and honestly hers is the type of household I was bought up in. People judge her for having so X amount of children, or shopping cheap which is sad. To me she comes across as a good mum and a grounded person, which is so rare these days. Everybody is so busy trying to show off how fantastic everything is in their lives, and how they are somehow superior because they have all these materialistic things and those that don't are somehow not as "blessed."

Just found this thread! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS WOMAN, her cooking videos are my favourite

 

[HiGuuuuys]

I love Shamsa's videos so much. She is so authentic and funny, she really did inspire me.

I can't help feel something is going on with her. She has come back to instagram but turned off comments, same thing on her latest YouTube video. On the latest video, I don't know, she doesn't sound like herself, seems down and less happy. I really hope she is OK and is truly happy.

 

[lilacbutterfly]

Oh my goodness! She’s back and pregnant again

So Shamsa is going down the subscription only route. Is anyone going to subscribe?

Not sure. I dont know what others thought but the video didnt sit well with me. She made lots of excuses, at first saying she was stopping voice overs etc because she's really busy but then she says she will do it, but on members only because of "haters". Yet, she isnt too busy to start a discord channel and create/sell nfts to her audience.

Obviously she can do whatever she wants with her channel, she's an amazing woman, but I just felt weird at the end of the video.I think it would have been ok for her to say hey, it's a lot of effort and I want to make some money off this, so I'm making my content members only. Idk I might be wrong with this sentiment

I kind of feel she's clutching at straws, doing a birth video one year after the baby is born . The views on her videos are very low now, I miss her . It must be hard to balance the need for privacy and getting enough decent content.

 

[Sparkle14]

People loved her as she was real but then she was like you got to pay to watch my videos and that’s where her viewings went really low. I see she doesn’t do PR packages anymore. She removed it from her insta. I get the feeling she had something horrible sent to her and she felt her and her family’s life was at risk so she went silent with her videos but it led her viewing rating going down!

Does anyone else watch Shamsa? She’s a YouTube Mummy / DITL vlogger (she has a teaching degree but I think she says she only works as a cover teacher now?) and she is so down to Earth, kind, hardworking Mum of 5, soon to be 6! She respects her children’s privacy and never shows their faces on camera

A lot of “mummy” vloggers could learn from this lovely lady! Not necessarily mums.... maybe people like fopperholic, trim with tan and Jane gammons who just deletes comments which are constructive criticism and only keep ones who licks their arseholes!

I LOVE that she never deletes racists or rude comments, she actually comments on them and turns it into something hilarious! Like this video

Yeah I think she's a brilliant wife and homemaker. The only thing that sort of shocks me is how little they seem to eat. She uses really small quantities of meat/chicken at meals, my teen boys would have eaten her whole meal by themselves lol. I assume they mustn't do heavy sports or the gym, otherwise they'd get very hungry. 650g of meat/chicken per meal is a very small amount of protein for 9 people.

I hope Shamsa has good friends she can socialise with, she did say she had fallen out with her family for a lot of years and that she's experienced racism within her community for marrying a Black man I'm sure she doesn't get much free time but I hope she doesn't still feel isolated.

I'm really glad she's getting sponsored videos now, it's been a long time coming.

I was amazed at her being heavily pregnant and still cooking away, making cakes, doing a big shop...she is a trooper!
I have seen vlogs where her sister and family were there and she mentions having people over at Eid I think so I think she just doesn’t show it.
It is sad that she got racist comments from community and on YouTube, the level of ignorance is astounding

Love Shamsa. She’s a breath of fresh air, so down to earth and so funny. X

She's definitely a grafter, she inspired me to clean out my cupboards I had some Pakistani friends at secondary school and the house work was a massive thing in their life, they did really big jobs as standard that my Mum did every few months, like pulling out furniture to mop/hoover. I suppose Shamsa grew up like that too.

 

[Gingerella]

Thanks for the reminder about Shamsa….. just spent some time catching up. I love her!

 

[justhavinganosie]

My gosh her vlog tired me out. Mum of 7 and she's just incredible! I only have 1 and last thing I feel like doing is baking or going for a walk lol

 

[justhavinganosie]

I really enjoy her hauls. She made me laugh when she said that aldi have stopped stocking jalapeño ketchup and she's not happy about it I really enjoy watching her videos, mostly because of her humour and sarcasm lol.
