The Frugality #2

[wakametango]

Well, I’ve never been to a Tiger. How long have they been around? Also, haven’t been to Wood Green in a long time either.

About ten years?

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

I never knew Chris was a failed actor!!! I thought he was a photographer.

I have a duvet cover that matches her baggy gingham dress. I dislike those pricey sandals.

 

[Boutros-Boutros Ghali]

ugh it’s like the time she got gifted a beach front apartment in Whitstable and told every one about the best places to eat and drink but then just ate crisps and crap she brought from home

Had forgotten about that

Such a not child friendly garden. That Danish Pastry woman used to comment a lot in the ladies My Bum Look 40 blog,

 

[Spiesandliea]

Is a very nice house, I cannot believe how she managed to make the house look smaller, well done

Edit: the outside, what a state. I think they bought it with a very good price, a semi-D in North London. I don't know how much is Chris earning, but to maintain such a big property does require a lot of money - renovation and mortgage.

I wish I could be arsed to search this out!! I’m so nosey

I just saw that post and I’m actually quite shocked by the way that extension looks. Seems like their house is much bigger than she’d like us to believe. Also, am I getting it right that their extension is adjacent to the neighbours? Those bay windows on both properties looking right at each other just looks weird.

Can I ask what is the username for her sister's IG?

 

[jaymie]

the balcony has come down through disrepair and will be reinstalled at some point. You can see from the front of their house that the railing has gone etc.

I thought she got rid of the access door altogether, and put up a window instead.

I wondered if they own the fences that they are painting.


We installed fences all the way around the inside of our boundary (to hide all the mismatching ugly fences belonging to 5 different neighbours) some of the neighbours then removed their fences and I’d be so pissed off if they then painted their side of ours.

 

[jaymie]

so where did her dining table go?

 

[jaymie]

@jaymie she has thanked lily for putting her matches in lily’s faves video !!

Hahahaha saw it. Why does she have to wait until next spring or summer to sort out the garden?

 

[jaymie]

Quite a few donations!

I’m torn I mean newspaper get at revenue & still charge customers to read them.

On the other it feels a bit cheeky to do obviously do so little & then ask for donations. It feels like a try-on. Choosing unemployment isn’t frugal it’s just trying to have an easy life. Sure worth a shot!

I saw there are 60 cups bought, assuming £3 for a cup, that is £180.. wtf

Alex is the only influencer about who I do actually sometimes think, "what is she going to do when instagram dries up as a career?" All the others seem to have rich husbands to fall back on

But she is lucky that her family has a business, so the backup plan is family business. What is her husband doing? Working for her?

 

[BlairWaldorf86]

Haha love the summary. Thanks for new thread!

 

[Bla bla bla yawn]

Didn’t she swap her personal and frugality usernames over? So one will have loads more followers than the other.

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

Tbh I was surprised she was asking for advice!! Or is it unsolicited advice she doesn’t like?

 

[jaymie]

It’s also why should you or I give money to two people to doss around their garden or go for sunny lunches. If she showed herself slaving away creating the content it’d be different. At the moment it just looks like funding two people to have an easy life. I have spare money at the moment, I’ll be giving it to charity. I’m doing a shop for a local woman in need due illness.

They are no better than any benefit scroungers to put it short

If any of you are out there looking for money saving tips, I highly recommend the Financial Diet albeit it is US based but 90% applicable to the UK

I missed the £40 mug. Was she flogging it?

She mentioned she’d treated herself and tagged the maker but could only afford one at a time....

 

[TGreece76]

Do you mean because she needs to sell their clothes?

No, the fact Alex has built a brand on being ‘frugal’ but in real life she doesn’t do the most obvious frugal things - hand me down baby stuff is such a no brainer!

 

[Just watching it all]

She looks like an overgrown toddler in that dress in the latest grid pic

She kinda acts like one so...
