No £150 useless pans to shill obviouslySo she's still in Spain then?
According to the frugality IG, they’ve never come back from parental leave, either of them. Absolutely bone idle with zero self-awareness. When she split the two, I thought TF was going to be the ‘work account’ and Alex S was going to be her family/personal account? If that’s the case, why has she piled on the ad content onto the ‘Alex’ account? I know it’s been said endless times on here but she is absolutely rudderless in terms of the aims of her business. What is it for? What is the brand identity? What does it do?Didn’t she say they planned to take some time off (despite just having finished an extended maternity leave and apparently being so broke they were begging for people to buy them a coffee) and also mentioned needing a holiday. Her folks have a place in Spain so think put 2 and 2 together.
I often wonder about the people that bought them ‘coffees’ wonder if they’d walk past someone living on the streets and drop them a few quid….unlikely as you’d hear the diatribe about them spending it on drink and drugs, yet they’ll happily give it to an influencer living a faux poor life, in a 750k house, to spend on £25 paper placemats and £70 candles…what a world we live in

Of course, silly me.Earning ££££££ is the identity.
Her house coat £750k??!!Didn’t she say they planned to take some time off (despite just having finished an extended maternity leave and apparently being so broke they were begging for people to buy them a coffee) and also mentioned needing a holiday.

No I think it was less but from when she’d bought it, with the addition of the (hidden) two storey extension it’ll probably be valued around that…Her house coat £750k??!!
Ahh I see! I still haven’t been able to find it on planning but the secret double story extension is bizarreNo I think it was less but from when she’d bought it, with the addition of the (hidden) two storey extension it’ll probably be valued around that…
So frugalIt was £630k
I believe that salary as much as I believe her when she says she shops at Lidl….oh waitThey wouldn’t have got much of a mortgage from the £35k each that she claimed they were taking as income (around the same time) so must have a hefty chunk of equity in there too. So so frugal.
She should try living off £35k for an entire family and see how long she lasts, it’s a real struggle at the moment for my family and we definitely don’t have £140 to spend on a bloody frying pan! She isn’t frugal at all and needs to change her stance on what she does, should acknowledge she has money but likes to stretch it as much as she can.Oh ffs these influencers. Giving yourselves an “allowance” of 35K each from the business to live on is *nothing* like someone on a £35k salary (or two ppl on 70k combined) and I really wish they would stop presenting it as any sort of equivalence.
All the influencers are doing is giving themselves a meagre but doable (in their eyes) amount of easily accessible cash to live on and keeping the rest slightly harder to get to so it’s not frittered away. In other words a basic self imposed budget
Living on 70k combined when it’s 1. Your choice and 2. easy if you need to access more in an emergency - that’s a piece of cake. It’s the never ending stress of surviving on lower & some middling incomes that grinds you down. (And I appreciate there are many many many hard working people/families getting by on a lot less, and also that 35k/year reads differently in various parts of the country).
Plus a lot easier to stretch a 70K spending pot when it’s constantly being topped up with freebies and #kindlygrifted vouchers and gift cards.
It’s just another way for influencers to play their followers - “I’m just like you, trying to make ends meet! Buy me a coffee!” Meanwhile the cold hard cash is stacking up.
I don’t now believe she’s ever bought one, probably just sends Chris in to Lidl to take pictures of the things she thinks ‘poor people’ buy on his way to Sainsbury’sShe should try living off £35k for an entire family and see how long she lasts, it’s a real struggle at the moment for my family and we definitely don’t have £140 to spend on a bloody frying pan! She isn’t frugal at all and needs to change her stance on what she does, should acknowledge she has money but likes to stretch it as much as she can.
I’d also like to note that we may not be rolling in it but I definitely don’t take those cheap food boxes from the supermarket which she likes to snatch as those are for people who are really struggling to feed their family
