She deletes any challenges because she’s a lying bastard.The odd box thing just makes it worse.. how did they include it in last week’s meals which were still around £40? And they batch cooked too?! So many lies. But not enough people challenging her on the grid.
If you question or challenge she deletes or hides (looks to you like it's there but others can't see it) your comments......The odd box thing just makes it worse.. how did they include it in last week’s meals which were still around £40? And they batch cooked too?! So many lies. But not enough people challenging her on the grid.
She probably manages to spin it as 'engagement'She's having a nightmare at the moment - this and the don't pay your TV license post. Luckily she has the glasses representation to fall back on
Amazing! So good that people are copping on to this farce. I’ve no issue with the whole meal planning, promoting more mindful living, looking for money saving hacks kinda thing but a) she doesn’t follow it herself because enter stage left, an abundance of Tiger Tat, micro sheds and free meals and b) despite her brand claiming to the contrary, SHE’S NOT POOR!Alex is obviously in bed as this corker is still up!
I started following her years ago for similar reasons. Don’t think she knows who her audience is now.I really liked Alex's insta 8 years ago or whenever - pre kids, spend less here and buy maybe one or two nicer things and mix and match with high street (when she had a personal style!).
But she's not moved on with her thinking and this no longer works for her lifestyle / age. It is not aspiration to be eating (and meal planning!) cheap sandwiches when you're nearly 40 with kids.
Also frugality isn't it. Sustainability is! And Alex doesn't give a shit about sustainability and fills her house with tat and clothes (this is 'old' etc etc). I mean her kids share a bedroom so she can have an additional room to fill with rubbish.
Suspect part of thought process of bringing out the gift guides early is to get those affiliate clicks in quicker.
Her account annoys me so much!

Sounds good - any recs? I follow Andrea Ong (think thats her name) and she does reviews and informative reels on high street clothing and shops. Really interesting.Tattle being v annoying and won’t let me quote ur para on sustainability but 🤌100%!
Watched the Shein documentary last night and they mention the anti influencers who are popping up as the resistance to the consumerism pushed on us. I follow a few (and have done for a while not just an evening lol) and I love their feeds cos they’re not just campaigners but they show such a lovely soft and slow life - like really lovely meals and coffees prepped at home, 48 hours offline on the weekends, day trips to places of natural beauty, selling their car to get an electric bike, books they’re reading, parts of their actual jobs because they don’t just rely on aff link revenues, like genuinely interesting stuff you’d think oh I’ll have to give it a go! Like that level of contentment and living ur life is aspirational and inspiring, not eternally chasing the next purchase in your weekends looking round coal drops yet again because you have such ravaging status anxiety because you didn’t marry as well as your private school chums.
Sounds great, could you recommend some?Tattle being v annoying and won’t let me quote ur para on sustainability but 🤌100%!

Yes! I’ll pop it behind a cut as it’s not totally relevant. Also the Shein documentary is on ch4, it was okay. Hopefully it changes minds for hyper consumers.Another one who irritates me on this front is Katherine Ormerod. Now I’m not putting her in the same category as Alex at all - her content is far superior and she’s super stylish. She also clearly has a brain and a proper job BUT she is also always pleading poverty and the whole ‘we can’t find anywhere to live’ saga really grated on me. She is incredibly privileged, has a partner who works, 2 children in child care/school, another property, parents with money, access to high end products and many freebie events and chooses to live in a really expensive part of London. I’d love to live where she does but, plot twist, I can’t afford it, many people can’t - are we all whinging about it and asking why the universe won’t give us a 3 bed Victorian house in Chiswick? I’m not knocking her for highlighting the problems with the rental market in London (I think it’s great she did that) but she doesn’t have it bad by any stretch. I found the moaning and ‘poor me’ routine in bad taste esp when the country is on its arse.
Sorry for derail, KO doesn’t have a thread.

Yes. I often wonder why she had kids as she moans so much about looking after them. I do like her content though, her interiors style is fabulous.So agree re Katherine Ormerod. The levels of privilege to plead poverty whilst living in an amazing part of London in gorgeous rentals is quite something. She also complains non stop when having to look after her kids and she goes out more times a week than I have a year as a parent!
Never heard of her so just looked her Instagram up. Nice interiors but blimey she is soooo skinny. None of the clothes that hang well on her would look decent on a normal sized woman. Was she eating lettuce all pregnancy?Yes. I often wonder why she had kids as she moans so much about looking after them. I do like her content though, her interiors style is fabulous.
I think she’s deleting comments…..The odd box thing just makes it worse.. how did they include it in last week’s meals which were still around £40? And they batch cooked too?! So many lies. But not enough people challenging her on the grid.
