Shoestring Renovation

[Tess_Tickles]

P.s I spend a lot less than £80 per month (couple in a small 2 bed house) so I don’t think £80 is crazy low.

I pay £60 per month total for elec/gas for a 3 bed house and have never provided a meter reading in 5 years. It’s one of those adult jobs I’ve just never done This has spurred me on to do it though… right now.

I have a lot of time for Jodie but feel like that latest story is begging for a Stokke chair she’s a midwife, does she really need to be asking her followers what their must buys are?

She saves upto and over £500 a month she said - she doesnt need to beg for anything . She is typical of the influencer who wont pay for things if she can beg for them .

She’s getting on my nerves.. Sick to death of the Readly Ads.

 

[Justnosing!]

Not in a hurry to buy things? Nope, you're just going to ask stupid questions so you get things for free! She's over 20 weeks, she should have started buying stuff by now!

She’s really pissed me off this morning. It’s their fault they’ve been hit with a big bill.
To now be going on about how big their DD will be and how it’ll go up even more because of the “energy crisis”.
They are both on good salaries and can clearly afford it if they can save so much.
What about the people who are on minimum wage or benefits who can’t afford their energy bill just now never mind come April? Stop being so bloody self obsessed.
If you want to highlight what’s happening then have a bit of empathy with the people who it will actually have a potentially catastrophic effect on.

Yep and she will probably be able to pay for it with a #ad #spon what about normal people!!!

A stokke high chair is most definitely not an essential item either to be on the beg for. Try for a Pram instead love.

Yeah there’s a lot more she’ll need before that. You’re talking about a years time before she’ll need a high chair

Quoting my own post here but her views on Tommee Tippee through “her line of work” prove she doesn’t need to be asking for recommendations! She knows what she needs and what she would prefer not to touch from experience. The cynic in me definitely sees this as a follower engagement exercise to bring in some freebies (no free prep machine coming her way though )

 

[slublizard]

I’d do the same if I could get free stuff to be fair…
I like Jodie but I can’t really relate to her now that shes pregnant and that’s all she talks about. ‘Baby brain’ and ‘when baby comes’ - totally fair enough, but boring to me

What I don’t understand is why don’t people ask all this shite on Babycentre on a birth board like the good old days??
Jodie you literally need the basics like vests and babygrows, muslins, blankets, a place for baby to sleep and some Mam bottles if you hate TT. And a bouncer.
Sorted

She must know what she needs. I was pregnant at 18 and knew exactly what to buy for my baby, I sometimes wonder if she’s just dumb with little common sense.

 

[Coffee-Addict]

A few days ago she did a story about her maybe having to be redeployed for whatever reason - and she said “ I am being treated like tit and i worked all the way through covid “ and it really pissed me off! She isnt the only one who worked through covid , my family worked through covid . Also she says after and before an AD “ thank you for supporting me “ youre not supporting her you are putting £500 in her bank - you are allowing her to save a fortune when the majority of us cant save £50 a year!

 

[LaurieLaurie]

If she can find something to rant about she will.

I actually really like Jodie but I’ll be so sad if she goes on the beg for baby items

 

[LaurieLaurie]

Is it just me or is it insensitive of her to post these baby items straight after making baby and infant loss posts? Yes they donate £1 but maybe some people won’t want to see what they could have been buying during the awareness days?

 

[LaurieLaurie]

Oh look. I think she’s reading here

 

[Coffee-Addict]

I came to say the same ! How sad

 

[LaurieLaurie]

She could manage to keep buying baby things but I think the vast majority of women who have suffered a loss will struggle to do the same.

She is not dumb. She is looking for freebies pure and simple.
