I've not got children yet, am I not gonna be able to have any ornaments or candles if/when I do?!
genuine question 
well you can, but from the age of walking - about maybe 2.5 you probably need them out of reach!I've not got children yet, am I not gonna be able to have any ornaments or candles if/when I do?!
Totally - just not once they start getting grabby/standing. My youngest is 9 months and I’ve put some breakable stuff away, but will totally bring it all back once the novelty wears off!I've not got children yet, am I not gonna be able to have any ornaments or candles if/when I do?!
These glasses stories are even more tedious than the fence painting and the patio tiling. Why is she making such an issue of it?
Is a North Londonder thing isn’t it? Lily is a mole crusader, Alex is a glasses crusader
Trying desperately to carve a niche for herself that isn’t horrendously slow and inefficient DIY…
It was the final nail in the coffin that has made me unfollow her. There is nothing remotely interesting about her page anymore
Oh! It’s not at all obvious that she must be hoping to become a paid ambassador for as many spectacle manufacturers as possible. She’ll then need a wardrobe for all her glasses.
I think she was trying to start a ‘conversation’ about how she feels women who wear glasses are left on the sidelines and it’s not seen as attractive to wear glasses and we don’t see many women in films, etc wearing glasses. I think she was trying to imply that she felt she couldn’t wear glasses on her wedding day and wishes she had. The story has fallen rather flat though, like most of her stories.
She’s definitely looking for more freebies plus a paid gig.
It’s odd isn’t it, rather teenage blog from the 90’s.
I wear glasses, I also wear contact lenses, I’ve never had a chip on my shoulder like Alex about it, maybe because no one has ever mentioned that my glasses are like what an old man would wear
As if Gillian Anderson and Zendaya doing something has any bearing or relevance on the rest of us mere mortals
What a dull topic of conversation. Like glasses wear glasses, don’t like glass wear contacts, not that much to talk about. Most people make an effort on their wedding days - cover the greys, tan if you want to etc. I don’t know why you would buy a nice dress, do hair & make-up & then cover your face.
I don’t think you have to be superwoman post-motherhood, I’m certainly not but the difference in Alex & Lilypebbles is stark. You can’t go back to an office post kids & visibly make less effort. Alex isn’t as bad but Lily’s entire persona has morphed into mother/pregnant person. What about their followers who have zero interest in kids. Alex is good at styling clothes (not corners!). Her old photos are great.
Noticed in comments when someone asked for hotel recommendations she said “we stay in an apartment”.
imagine if she’d given the honest answer: “we stay in my parents apartment.... because I come from wealth, that’s how I manage to go on holiday after mat leave and live in an expensive house in London while working part time. Because, dear followers, it’s a lie that you can have what I do while doing what I do without some generational wealth behind you. So don’t feel bad if you’ve not managed to make do and mend your way to a house deposit, because the truth is no amount of supposed frugality could ever get you there. As a self proclaimed crusader for the average woman I’m just putting that out there so as not to perpetuate this harmful myth. The end. Love Frugal Alex”

You forgot to add that we actually shop in Sainsbury’s but we like to pretend we go to Lidl so you all think we know how it feels to struggle too but theres no chance we’d actually really shop there through choice….
I was thinking exactly this when I saw she posted the “tax the rich” dress & a post about childcare costs.
She’s lucky no one has taxed the assistance she’s gotten from her parents. Plus the amount she produces doesn’t appear to justify needing childcare.
Big house in North London & both of them appear to work part time at a push. “Tax the rich” indeed.
It’s not personal btw I have received some help from my parents, though Id wager not nearly as much. What grates is all the dishonesty.
