Urgh, never knew that. Gutted.She’s been doing stuff with them for a while….
So I guess everything is relative. Like the £400 a night affordable hotel because it wasn’t £700!I saw a box of matches for £35 on the Oliver Bonas website recently
I’m guessing buying a multi-pack of candles, divide into pairs and tie with ribbon saved from something years ago, re-use wrapping paper and boxes and brown paper from online deliveries. And maybe bake something in a nice dish which the recipient can keep. Buy stocking fillers in charity shops and second hand books make lovely gifts. Not sure what her delightful decorations will be - may using greenery from her garden. Will definitely feature using previous year’s Christmas cards for gift tags. And maybe how she asks her family to give one gift each to her kids rather than several - though most people do only give one gift! And instead of a gift advent calendar - do a things to do - make a craft item, an outing, a story, a movie night - but won’t mention that after a week you’ll be sorry you’ve done this as you don’t have time every evening to do the ‘to do’! Instead of buying a Christmas jumper stick a few bits from the craft box onto a plain jumper.According to the email, the event promises “smart money saving tips, eco-friendly gift wrapping tricks, along with delightful decorations” but I initially read it as “frightful decorations”.
I mean, the cost of boiler usage for that much hot water this year it is an absolute indulgent luxury nowIf memory serves she did the activity advent last year for her kids. One of the activities was ‘have a bath’. (I’m not making this up).
Only lasted for 2-3 days I think.If memory serves she did the activity advent last year for her kids. One of the activities was ‘have a bath’. (I’m not making this up).
Yep because too much effort. Her hosting table a couple of days ago included 3 oranges shoved in a bowl - who is that for?!Only lasted for 2-3 days I think.
I thought that was amusing - a tiny bowl, with three large oranges in it and it looked ridiculous. As did the whole table with lots of little bits and I don’t know how many candles but the overall effect was a random mess. Tablescapes aren’t her forte!Yep because too much effort.

So annoying. Actually Alex , if you had a proper job you’d know it’s policy to wear it all the time to maintain safety and access. It’s not a bloody key ringThere’s nothing I hate more than influencers who play at working. Oooh I’m so cute and quirky for always wearing my lanyard when in the office. No dickhead this is what all other people do who work in offices, it’s not unique it’s called having a real job and always having to wear your security pass.
Shame that was an activity for the kids rather than Chris and his hair.If memory serves she did the activity advent last year for her kids. One of the activities was ‘have a bath’. (I’m not making this up).
Idk why I read it as the wankerI’ve never had a lanyardI guess I’m just not as good at working in a workplace as Alex, the worker.
Yes. I would really not appreciate a cream tin with utensils written on it, or an awful blue striped photo frame, etc, etc.Agh, I see those under £10 gift ideas and all I can think is tat tat tat. Really it’s just for the sake of buying something. Maybe we’re a strange family but I know all of us would rather not get anything than get a picture frame or a mug we don’t need. It’s like a guide you can use in case you’re itching to spend £10 but really don’t need anything.
