THIS!If she isn’t lying she’s repeating herself. She’s lied about the last 3 major life changes that are related to and affect her work - Mark being employed by her, buying a house, and getting pregnant. I understand wanting to keep those things private, but lying in the interim is just gross. Perhaps don’t mention it or don’t directly lie about it until you are ready to tell? Or here’s a thought: truly be an organization guru and plan your content in advance much, much better so that there’s no need to lie.
Lying also undermines her credibility as an “influencer” because she doesn’t seem very genuine to me anymore. She seems harmless but she’s just as nefarious with the covert consumerism as every other influencer, and she doesn’t respect her audience’s intelligence.
Hahah! Someone finally mentioned the eyebrows! I hate them. They make my teeth itch. They just make me think of a troll or hag fancy dress costume. Petty I know. Just my opinion.You know, I used to be a big fan of Anna - she seemed nice, relatable and I liked her style (Whistles-era). My husband and I also quite liked watching her travel vlogs for inspiration. But you know what, I think I'm fully out. I am sick to the back teeth of 'moment', 'over-sized', beige agogo, Mark, rust coloured eye-shadow, fake-relatability, constant giggling over nothing and now her pregnancy.
ETA: Oh and Hello Fresh, and those completely ridiculous, utterly nobbish, eyebrows.
I notice that more and more people seem to be doing this and it drives me crazy. Is it so their videos are longer? is this really how they talk?! so many questions.God, she’s, like, annoying. *gigglegiggle* I had to switch off her vlog after repeatedly saying out loud how annoying it was. How many times have we heard about these stupid jeans now? Everything she says is a repetition, and then she phrases the same thing differently five times. “Like, the sun is good. We’re having a sun moment. Thank you sun, you’re looking so good. The sun is making my #ad so good. The sun is dealing us a good hand there. Like, it’s such a nice sun moment.” Gah!
You are right, she will be entitled to maternity allowance plus the adsense money from all of her videos. That's steady passive income for her.I'm pretty sure, but correct me if I'm wrong, if you're self-employed and have paid National Insurance Contributions for a certain period before your qualifying week of pregnancy (15 weeks pre-due date) you are entitled to a full Maternity Allowance which is the same as SMP at the £150 a week rate (you just don't get the 6 weeks of 90% salary that an employed person on SMP gets).
Oh for sure, but us plebs have to get by on it! Once my 6 weeks at 90% runs out (I'll be going on mat leave in June) my income will halve, and we need every penny of our joint incomes to live. The only way to manage it is reduce my first born's nursery days from 4 to 1. Anyway enough whining, my point is I agree and she probably views £150 a week as equal to £0To Anna £150 per week is no money. She probably gets more than that for a mention of a gift on Instagram
I mean, don’t kick me out of the threadWhen she mentioned "all the lovely messages" she's receiving, I couldn't help but remember when she (or Mark?) deleted all the comments under her NAP video saying she was pregnant.
I guess the baby-moment has overshadowed all the harmful mold, problems with the kitchen, gaps in the floors, and everything else that started to appear after they spent close to 1 mill. on that half-arsed house. To be fair, both Anna and Mark are half-arsed about work so I guess the house really fits them nicely.what about the reno' ?? that house still needs to get sorted !
Totally this!!If she isn’t lying she’s repeating herself. She’s lied about the last 3 major life changes that are related to and affect her work - Mark being employed by her, buying a house, and getting pregnant.
