Love kezzabethAgreed re frugality. There is a lovely DIY IGer, Kezzabeth, I think her name is who is genuinely renovating on a shoestring. She and partner have FT min wage jobs and have recently had a baby. They do loads of innovative stuff themselves and interesting (if you like DIY/reno) content. It’s amazing what they’ve done on barely any £££ to their 2 up, 2 down terrace in the E mids. Not flashy or aspirational but proper graft. They’ve had a few bits of sponcon but nothing like the big accounts. “The Frugality” looks like an embarrassing, gaslighting joke next to accounts like these by people who are genuinely making every penny stretch.
Omg I love you, can you do a post like this on every thread pls?SO MANY QUESTIONS. Let me but name a few:
- What deadlines could she have other than taking pictures for brand partnerships? Everything else she does is self directed and thus the deadlines
self imposed? OR IS SHE SECRETLY WORKING AS A HIGH LEVEL POLITICAL OPERATIVE AND TRYING TO THROW US OFF THE SCENT WITH THE MATCHSTICKS
- Why does she think posh pot noodles is a remarkable thing? Surely most of us are not cooking gourmet lunches during the working day? OR PERHAPS HER PEERS ALL HAVE CHEFS AND HOUSEKEEPERS TO SHES GOT THE LUNCHTIME FOMO?
- Who is paying for nursery? They’re looking at a bill of at least £2K a month at a very conservative estimate. AINT NO MATCHES THAT CAN PAY FOR THAT OR DO I NOT UNDERSTAND THE MATCH MARKET?
- Why would you paint your bathroom when you have deadlines? Or are the deadlines manufactured to make her feel more relatable? WHY IS SHE PAINTING THE BATHROOM WHEN THE TILES THE TILES SWEET MARY THE TILES?
- I don’t even know what to ask about the living room because I can’t even find the words but what please someone tell me WHAT can they be up to with this rotating nightmare?
- Why am I pondering these questions when I have two packed lunches to make and a brief to write and a toilet to clean AND MY GLASSES TO POLISH?
No kitchen table, it means they barely get any visitor.I’m guessing bathroom being painted so they can ‘shoot’ it for content in the next newsletter using left-over paint of course.
Living Room a tip because they have too much ‘stuff’ and have renovated a house with no thought at all for storage or room lay-out,- they could have put in under stairs-storage, planned their kitchen better, instead of a toilet room opening into they kitchen, they could have out in a utility room, etc. They have three bedrooms and an en-suite upstairs, they appear to use the third bedroom as another living room. Their office is a dark poky room. The kitchen/diner is so badly laid out, full of bitty furniture with yet another sofa and no room for a kitchen table.
Toddlers eat about 15 times a day, the thought of all those sticky hands on a couch is ick!!!I can’t imagine a family of four not having a kitchen / dining table of some kind. Their choices drive me potty. Fold away table. Gah
twas meeeeeWho called it - painting the bathroom for a ‘job’. She’s going to show all the pictures they’ve put in there (why, they’ll go mouldy!) which I’m sure will be for some dumb ad.
She looks good in the blazer reel. She needs to stick to clothes.
