Plonking a load of random things on a tablecloth. The 5 bottles just needed a countertop or bare table and no friggin’ candles. She fails at this every single time. And the tablecloth is not sitting flat …

I’m sorry but taking home a few left over potatoes in a doggy bag? And from a dinner with an acquaintance rather than good friends by the sounds of it 
That was a bit weird, and it’s not like Alex to not tell us where she ate. I can only presume that’s because it wasn’t a freebie?I’m sorry but taking home a few left over potatoes in a doggy bag? And from a dinner with an acquaintance rather than good friends by the sounds of it
I cringed at this - she's so bleeping tight!I’m sorry but taking home a few left over potatoes in a doggy bag? And from a dinner with an acquaintance rather than good friends by the sounds of it
I love Bluebellgray. I’m fuming that they’ve chosen to work with her.
Exactly! She gets more insufferable by the day.
The acquaintance she met for dinner runs or used to run an Instagram account which highlights the importance of diversity in kids books. She actually sounds really interesting https://thepinklookbook.com/reading-diversity-out-loud-interview-with-danica-schneeweiss/
But I suspect a massive virtue signal incoming from Alex even though she has never commented on inequality or anti-racism work or anything political beyond prominently displaying the “diverse” books on Peggy’s shelf.

Riveting stuff
Alex's latest grid... "I shop for secondhand stuff online so I can buy brands I cant afford full price, like Vans"
Vans? VANS?!
She can't afford Vans for her kids full price?! They're like 35 quid! You can't be all 'Sezanne cardigan' one day and then 'cant afford Vans' the next! FFS.
It's sourdough all over again....

Such a warped and fake view on “brands”. I would argue that Crocs and Vans are a similar price point. It’s just insulting for her to say she “can’t afford” anything at this point really!
New £170 bag for herself, second hand shoes for her kids… wtf

Even her favourite store TK Maxx sell kids Vans - why is she so tight?
second-hand pre-loved footwear just won’t cut it!
She might find herself in for a surprise with Cato - IME boys are much harder on their shoes than girls so
Yep, there's a huge difference between 'can't afford' and 'choosing not to spend.' If she had just said, we don't buy big brands (e.g. vans, insert other brand here) new because the kids grow out of them so quickly, that would make more sense...
Kids get second hand shoes and Alex buys herself 2 dresses for £80 to add to the hundreds of other similar dresses she owns (she’s not keeping them but she would have if she’d liked them more)
I understand many people argue that kids don’t wear shoes long enough to justify buying new ones as even second hand pairs wouldn’t have been much used, but I think for their feet/walk/balance/posture development it’s better to get a new pair. However, if Alex truly waited 4 years to get herself able to lift her own kids, we shouldn’t be surprised about where her priorities are.
I bought second hand (barely worn) Converse for mine when they were young (in about 85 different colours!) For school shoes or shoes they will wear most often, of course, ideally, new is best but there's nothing wrong with second hand at all. It's Alex's whole approach of "we can't afford" whilst spunking money on untold amounts of tit for herself that bugs me. By all means promote buying pre-loved/second hand/whatever you want to call it but don't do it under the guise of not being able to afford to buy at full price cos we all know that's bleeping bollocks.
