I would love to know what a days work looked like for them.

Walk to the post office while filming herself
Trip to Tiger for tat
Check every item in kitchen cupboard
Meal plan
Eat some beige leftovers
Count matches
Paint frames
Watch TV

Find cost cutting ways to spend money
Drop off kids as early as humanly possible
Collect them as late as humanly possible
Forward dad invoices that need paying
Soak husband’s pillow cases in bleach
Reading the telegraph
Debobble jumpers
Measuring out food to two decimal places to make sure a 400g tin of meatballs can last 2 kids a week

OMG yes, how many baskets do they have now? Pretty soon she’ll be telling us she’s bought a basket for the baskets!

Also, canned meatballs, really? That just sounds revolting and how is it nutritious for the kids? It’s one thing if you can’t afford anything else but we know they can damn well afford to buy mince and make proper meatballs.

Never mind sales shopping and spare us yet another sloping off exit 🙄 Kindly revisit the Anya Hindmarch yellow bag saga that was announced with great aplomb only for people to be told in Selfridges, London that ‘they’re long gone’.

They were released on the Monday and I tried to get one on the Thursday but they were all gone! This was the week before Christmas

Smug witch isn’t she. Doesn’t shop in sales because she can afford to pay full price. Some people rely on sales to get clothes for their family, if you know what you need you can get some real bargains.
We’re due our second baby soon and I managed to get some great baby grows for £1 and some clothes for my other child under £5.

Rough old bag isn’t she!

A chair with a cushion too. Who puts soft furnishing in the bathroom??

And what’s with the unflattering lift selfies? This is about the third she’s posted.
