Yep this is exactly it. I’ve never thought she was either actually or feigning to be poor (like Jack Monroe does) but it’s clear she can’t have the lifestyle she wants so is always making compromises or trying to do things on the cheap, or on credit. Which is wild to me as she’s been given so, so many legs up by her wealthy parents that they wouldn’t even need mad salaries to have a life where they can buy Aesop soap for every bathroom & maintain a few streaming service subscriptions.I call bullshit, as whenever she shows her egg sarnie based meal plan, there is at least one day where she has written OUT. I honestly think she rewrites stuff in her own head to convince herself she’s poor. When in fact she is just feeling hard done by compared to her perceived peers (privately educated former magazine stylists like Laura Fantacci, Sarah Tomczak and the girls from This is Mothership), who have husbands that actually go out to work and earn very well - as opposed to sitting around bumming off their wife’s insta page and laying 2 tiles a day.
To be fair her husband could well be suffering from depression or another illness who knows.Yep this is exactly it.

Why is she so weird??? It’s not that ridiculous? My king sized bed sheets were around £28 from TKmaxx and will last for 5-10 years…

Just to say about Primark, the bedding is terrific, are we not up to Alex’s level of bedding knowledge?I'm so confused. I recently moved home, and have had to go from a double to a king. I've kept my double duvet for now, and then bought sheets from Primark because I thought next time I move might not have a king size bed (renting). So....I'm not really sure what all this faux poor I can't afford sheets is about. The Primark brushed cotton and jersey sheets are cheap, excellent quality (I've had my previous double bed sets for 5 years now) so I'm not really sure what she's on about tbh. Just like this "oh I'm too poor to afford X chocolate". It's all cosplaying a poor person, and not actually what a frugal /working class life is like at all.
Fence was finished but it already looks dreadful.I unfollowed her months ago because the glasses stories were too much for even a rage follow but did they ever finish painting the fence?
Oh dear- should have gone to specsavers rather just done a paid partnership
Yay more fence content incoming…..
She’s an idiot painting it all black, we’ve got a little black picket fence which I painted during the first lockdown and I have to brush and power wash it as it gets covered in green - and I’ll have to repaint it at some point as it looks crap! Luckily I have a big paint brush and will be able to do that in about an hour unlike these two muppets with their teeny tiny paint brushesYay more fence content incoming…..
No idea how I managed to write file, obviously I meant TILEFrugality #5 Weeks and months to file a floor, we love to cosplay being poor!
