Second rec for Habitat frames, I have a few and they're good quality.Habitat/lbr Argos seem to have one, I don’t have it so can’t vouch for its quality but I do have a few of the big wood ones and they’re nice so fingers crossed?

There’s a saying, right? “Fire catches, so don’t play with matches” - a flimsy career made of flimsy flammable slave-labour-made clothing could easily go up in smoke. Heh.An empire constructed with… matches.
like…Alex…ikea sheet?Can’t believe that this is a sentence I’m reading written by an adult on their monetised/professional blog. How is she not embarrassed?

All of this just constantly points to the fact her husband needs to get a job to bring a second income in? Like I’m sure splitting her income through a Ltd company is v favourable tax wise and I have no doubt they’ll be claiming all the nursery freebies under the sun, but they’re not even able to cover the basics as is? Like how are they okay with windows that don’t open, a kitchen on a credit card , and not being able to afford bedsheets?like…Alex…ikea sheet?
We changed our bed from double to King. And got our sheet from HM and IKEA.
What surprised me the most is the fact that she is trying so hard to keep up with her rich mates. Why splash money on frames and prints when you don’t even have spare to buy bedsheets?
Linen is pretty and trendy, but if you couldn’t afford linen then get something affordable.
This woman acts like she is better than high street bed sheets, but mate, you literally eat canned food.
I think it’s more this. The bunny costume her daughter has on is £50 (I bought it as I can’t resist such things & told myself two kids can wear it for years ). I think she asked her parents for nicer stuff at Christmas but no way she couldn’t have afford basic sheets.Couldn’t afford bedsheets?? What a load of old twaddle. She makes this tit up for content and to keep up the frugal/poor shctick
I want to give her the benefit of the doubt & say that when she started the blog she was probably a lot more skint. The concept doesn’t fit her lifestyle now as much. “Frugal” is open to interpretation. Alex clearly makes a lot of unnecessary purchases by a lot of people’s standards. Then has help with bigger costs.Alex is a gaslighter. Her mode of operation is to convince women of the same age and social set up as her to buy things. She has built this around a fabricated concept that she is skint and only has nice things through saving hard and cutting back in areas of their lives such as their weekly shop.
They have disposable income than the majority of her peers. Because she fails to be fully transparent about:
family help
Gifted items
Gifted food or events out to eat
Gifted holidays
she may put a tiny ‘PR discount’ on a post, but she has never spoken in any detail that how, together, these privilege’s allow for a very luxurious life.
Im dying!‘We bought Sourdough as we don’t go out and this is a small luxury for us’ OH GET FUCKED HUN
Just saw that on her post and had to re read multiple times to check I was understanding it properly. Absolutely gobsmacking. She’s beyond parody.‘We bought Sourdough as we don’t go out and this is a small luxury for us’ OH GET FUCKED HUN
I don’t work in the medical field and I’m very much not a perfect parent so I dislike parent shaming. That said, she lives in a large house in London, buys the kids tons of toys & clothes but feeds them cheap bread. I’ve no doubt they eat better than a lot of kids but it still strange.Just saw that on her post and had to re read multiple times to check I was understanding it properly. Absolutely gobsmacking. She’s beyond parody.
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.‘We bought Sourdough as we don’t go out and this is a small luxury for us’ OH GET FUCKED HUN
