Shoestring Renovation #3 The impending poo-show of two under two!

[sleuththeroof007]

I’m sick of her shitty bullshit about having no money. She is taking the absolute piss. I’ve been there. I’ve had balifs at my door, had nights where I’ve had a cup of tea for my dinner because there was only enough bread left to feed my children, I’ve worked shifts ( nights and weekends ) and have done weeks without seeing my family . I’ve queued up pregnant in the pandemic for a food bank because my partner lost his job overnight. I haven’t had my hair done since before Covid. I don’t get my nails done I bite mine out of sheer stress and fear that I genuinely cannot survive and provide for my family when I once was comfortable and could do it easily. I’ve sobbed and taken out payday loans to get pitiful presents for my kids at Christmas just so they won’t go without. I’ve gone out all day during winter, either to a library or a cafe ( buying one drink) just to stay warm because I couldn’t afford my heating being on I’ve lost all dignity and respect I’ve had for my myself by going into the kids school and sobbing because I cannot afford the uniform and having to rifle through spares to take them. THAT is living on minimum wage and struggling financially. Having to save up for your hair appointment because it’s already been 4-5 months since you last had it done or having to buy a present from Primark for you other half is not struggling financially. Don’t claim you know anything about being destitute when you can pay to have a wall erected in your living room. Just absolutely disgusting and I’m finding myself really hating her.

I wouldn't want to live near it. Not a chance would I want my kids near it either. People with serious mental health issues like schizophrenia etc can be very dangerous, I know it's not their fault and they can't help it but I wouldn't knowingly pay half a mil to move myself and my family nearby.

I swear she just trolls her followers at this point. Saying she's broke and in tears about how to make ends meet and all her wobbly chinned rants about how she's just not earning enough, what govt support they need just to get through the month and then new outfits galore, hair cut and colour, baby massage and tea classes, she's still renovating and works are ongoing and putting up stories about artwork for a blank wall and new cushions because the existing ones are old - they look completely fine but she obviously just wants new ones. It's giving that they've actually come in to some money, not that they're poor souls at a loss to pay the bills after having a second child.

She's such a massive dickhead honestly . I don't know how she has the cheek to film herself half the time,

Nothing has ever been said about her kids other than her attitude towards them I.e you can tell Dustin annoys her and Daphne is the golden child.



Nothing on here is a lie either it's all taken directly from HER page.



Jodie needs a break from Instagram to sort her life and her house out. She is lazy and dirty.

You cannot argue there isn't dirt when we can see that state of the kitchen. Even if she eliminated the piles of washing there is dirty washing up and rubbish all over the sides.

As for slagging someone off on a public space did she not do the same last week to a Health visitor and then the other day about her own mum?! Slagged her right off to all her followers why not just go next door and tell her how you actually feel?

Anyway this is all for engagement, the number of comments and messages she will be getting now will have increased which will give her a boost for any ads she may do in the future.

As for the whinging about money, she needs to F**k right off what that. There are so many solutions to her 'money problems and childcare issues' such as night and weekend work but she won't do it.

I'm a HCP and I work 2* long shifts a week in the hospital. Gets lots of hours done in one go, I work nights and 1 of those nights is at the weekend.

You want kids, make sacrifices or suck up the childcare costs to have the hours you prefer.

I do agree with what she’s saying re living next to a MH unit. I wouldn’t want to either. But as a Registered Nurse myself would I fuck be saying that openly on the internet under my actual name/ face… I think as nurses we have to learn to just not say anything rather than insult vulnerable groups as it could bite her right on the backside. And again I agree with her when she says we can’t say fuck all nowadays but it’s just the sad truth 🫣

 

[boopthatnose]

How wildly sexist to say she thinks it's all women on Tattle because 'no men would have the time' - doesn't Terry sit and play with his 3D printer at home then, surely that requires free time?

Also not just women but 'sad women' apparently - from someone who spends a not insignificant time putting together reels of herself in her knickers and shows her (lovely) kids to strangers online to generate extra income. You can comment on what she's showing all you like as long as you do it to her benefit and for her engagement, but if you do it on here you are a 'sad woman' with too much time on your hands. If you can't take it it's probably best not to give it but she clearly can't help herself either, nor help herself making out it's all far worse than it is and that Tattle is all evil trolls mocking people's babies to try and make it all sound much worse than it actually is to garner up some support because googled yourself and what you read (based on what you showed of your life) stung.

I think the unfortunate thing about internet forums is that you wouldn't want to see them about yourself any more than you'd probably want to hear what some people in your real life say about you behind your back, it's always going to be a bad idea. She was on stories the other day talking about her weight and how awful her mum is about body shaming her - so actually I think she's quite right to take a step back because I can't imagine oversharing family matters like this is helping her or improving her life and nobody sensible or safety minded would show their kids on a public social media account and also show exactly where you bloody live. I have quite literally got zero interest in her (lovely, by the way) babies and unfollowed ages ago when she stopped doing renovations and seemed unwell and unhappy, because it didn't seem right to watch. Only went back to have a look because of this thread.

I wouldn't want my mates and family seeing things like that or see me bemoaning my privilege all the time with comments like 'an extra 100k wouldn't make much difference' house wise in a cost of living crisis. Nor would I want to see one of my mates or children telling thousands of followers that I am essentially abusive and then expecting childcare the next day. It's all out of hand and I can't see how it's worth the small income it generates. If I were her I'd rather just do overtime at work than degrade myself online and be in a position where I'm crying over what people think of me.

I expect she'll be back when the next sponsorship email rolls in, giving it large about it being an FU to the 'trolls' and not letting them stop her.

She has time to fanny around with clothes and make up, but never has any time to fold up the washing in the kitchen?!

 

[sasbeep]

Now she’s moaning about how her threads are full of “lies” when she was crying yesterday because it was all true and the thread picked up on many things her own family didn’t!

 

[ellyjelly2]

I have zero sympathy for anyone who puts their kids online to hundreds of thousands of strangers. Zero! Yesterday hit her hard because people were saying the truth about her ( according to jodie) today all lies. This site has loads of threads, rave/ hate, politics, shopping. Sit and bleat all you like about how awful it is to read about yourself, yet give no f**ks about how your kids will feel in the future, knowing their parents allowed all in sundry to watch them online.

 

[get the gossip]

I feel like she’s sort of gone more back to the person she was when I first followed. Genuinely pleased for her she seems so much happier and at peace with herself. I was uncomfortable watching her stories for a while, I’m glad she’s managed to pull things back around. I do think the stopping over sharing everything has helped massively.

 

[Compassionately_judging]

That story she posted about someone calling her out has annoyed me.

She had to save for her hair, because she hasn't had it done since June. I can barely afford to cut mine. But few months later here she is again, high maintenance colour. Yet she's in primark buy Terry's birthday present because that's all she can afford.

If they were that hard up, a grown man would forfeit a birthday present and she wouldn't be having her hair done so expensive it needs to be saved for.

I'm not begrudging her a hair colour, please don't think that, it's the posting the screenshot and sharing her constant finances. Woe is me. She's searching for a gifted nursery stay, or new capsule wardrobe (I detest the term capsule wardrobe), or hair appointment, always begging.

 

[Catqueen]

She's very concerned for her children's safety but she posts a link to her house. Nothing like posting your full address and the floor plan of your current home to keep your kids safe..

 

[Love2lurk]

She puts her life out there for all to see. Every little detail. Of course people will watch and have an opinion. She has been wise by coming off if she is so affected by what people think.

Hopefully during this break she can fold the washing & get some wall cupboards for the kitchen

 

[Potatopatato]

I felt a bit bad yesterday, now I don't. Truth hurts eh jodie? You said yourself most of it was true.

And fuck off with your Caroline flack shit. This is absolutely nothing like that situation, or anything to do with it. So bored of people using Caroline's name whenever anything even slightly mean is said.

For what it's worth, if there was a thread about me, I would 100% read it and have a mini breakdown afterwards we aren't meant to know what people say about us behind our backs.

 

[lavenderlamborghini]

stories this am about how every morning D throws his brekky on the floor. She’s even tried sticky plates… well Jodie… have you tried sitting with him and eating together, engaging him. Or is it sit at your little table on your Todd while mummy chats shite into her phone? He’s not even 2 fgs.

When mine was Dustin’s age I remember just putting little bits of food on my kid’s high chair table at a time, rather than giving them an entire plate to tip over (because they all do it at that age until they’re taught different). I’d give them a little bit more if they we’re still hungry.

Also is anyone else new here who wasn’t aware that there even was a Tattle page about her who has now been directed here from her stories out of curiosity? Because hi.

 

[instasham13]

Actually really like what theve done in the kitchen.

 

[Whatwouldyoudo]

I bet money is all Terry and her talk about. The baby is weeks old, just enjoy being present rather than worrying about what to do in nearly a years time, she knew all this when she had Dustin!

I know NHS pay is poor, but their maternity pay is better than statutory and shes taking on a job from January. Why have another child so soon if money is so tight!

 

[Homesweethomesweethome]

Today's stories. Why does everyone think we slag off babies? Got nothing to say about little kids it's their parents who are nobs. @Homesweethomesweethome you got a shout out

I did indeed.

Honestly I feel a bit bad about it. But even if I hadn’t started the thread someone else would have.

When you put yourself on socials publicly to the extent Jodie did, warts and all, of course people are going comment. Especially with the half naked capsule wardrobe posts. The icky ads, the former falling apart- which to be fair she owned.
Maybe some time away and reflection about what she has been posting will be a good thing for her and the kids.

Edited to add: have been back through. In 3 threads of 160ish pages, I’ve made 15 fairly mild comments!

 

[Potatopatato]

Tells the Internet where she lives.. tells the Internet she's on holiday. Jesus wept

 

[Dgrey2]

Wonder how much the new hair cost today. Not acting like someone who is worried about money tbh
