She has completely lost her way which is a shame as prior to Peggy’s birth, she shone with happiness and good health, and she always looked very polished. Some of my favourite outfits were inspired by her styling.

I suppose a very late walker, the loss of twins and the stress of a subsequent pregnancy during covid, combined with possible financial pressure, have taken their toll. I’d hate to have a large audience watching along from home and no amount of free stuff could compensate for the loss of my privacy.

I’m baffled by the matches! Such a random product to invest time and money into producing.

I am baffled by the matches! I honestly expected her first product to be something mind blowing, frugal, useful yet desirable. I just don't get it! They are a nice enough box of matches but.. but.. can anyone enlighten me? Are matches some sort of cult product? Am I the only person left using an old disposable lighter?!

The matches thing is super weird. I also don’t really understand - as lots of people have said before - why you would fix up the inside of your house when there are obviously issues with exterior (IG stories). Surely a risk of damp!

A very late walker? What has that got to do with anything? My daughter was outside the normal range and is fine. I am fine. You would never know. Very normal for a bum shuffler to walk close to 2. Alex said it seemed to be everyone else worrying her.

I think what she means is that she’s been under a lot of scrutiny and presumably she was worried re the walking for her to need to consult a professional.

You’d wonder how she could actually make money from those matches - £9 per box - Deduct packing cost, time spent boxing and labelling and dealing with couriers, presumably the artist received a fee, absorbs some postage costs herself, tax on any profit, etc, The actual product must cost pennies to buy from manufacturer. It’s a very niche market.

I was going to say we should guess how much the matches will cost. I knew they would be expensive but that is extortionate. She's having a laugh! I'm actually gobsmacked lol. £12!!! Fuck me. For people with more money than sense.

Yep, most first time parent worry, particularly about milestones, but Alex had the additional pressure of a large number of followers watching.

Also, several influencers had babies within the same couple of weeks of Peggy being born, and while I wasn’t exactly comparing the development of the babies, I did compare what and how much the parents were sharing online.

I wouldn’t be an Influencer for quids. (Or £12 matches.)

I find it so bizarre she’s gone totally against what her “brand” stands for selling these matches for £9. What’s frugal about buying £9 matches?! There are so many other things she could have done surely?!

I also find the timing of this product launch, which is nothing more than self-indulgence, very tone deaf. So many people affected by the worst global crisis of our lifetime and with Brexit shit just about the hit the fan, matches are clearly not a priority!

Matches. Flabbergasted. Who is her target audience? Those who will eat pasta for a week to afford nicer matches?! Of course not, she should just bin the frugality brand, this makes a joke of it!!!

I love her sister’s house.

Moaning about the cost of children’s shoes but thinks it’s ok to spend and encourage others to spend £9 (plus £3 postage) on a box of matches.

Jzzz, she moaned about shoes price, is she even for real. I understand the growth spur means she constantly switching them up, if you are painting your wall in F&B, you can afford shoes. Duh
