how they've not all come down with food poisoning is beyond me with the cooked chicken portions she buys from morrisons hot food counter at the end of the day then freezes them to re heat for a meal another time, they're either very lucky or got no taste buds left lol im all for freezing food and batch cooking to save money etc but that chicken has been in the counter kept warm for hours then frozen and re heated, at the very least it will be like chewing shoe leather

Does anyone watch this channel? I really like this one. She comes across as a lovely person and I could listen to her chatting all day. Her family are so nice and kids so nicely mannered and behaved

If somebody can’t deal with looking at puréed baby food, they seriously need to get a grip 🤣🤣

Just watched this week's vlog, it's so refreshing for a vlogger to put their child's needs first. Helen explained she hadn't vlogged for a few weeks because Ella was teething and having a rough time, I wish more of the mummy vloggers would put their childten/their needs/their privacy before the vlogging. Helen really did seem so much happier and more like the old Helen, it was lovely to see.

Just watched her food haul. The yellow label hauls are getting smaller. No fruit or veg. But she won’t buy them full price? The woman infuriates me. Says we go through a lot of food in our house with 4 kids, don’t we all! Yet she’s probably taking yellow stickers off if people who are genuinely struggling. Wonder how long she lurked in Morrisons for that stuff 🙄
I was thinking the same, she only buys fresh fruit and veg if it's yellow label 😬 fruit and veg is cheap enough when it's not on yellow label esp in Aldi where she shopped every week. I felt like she was trying to justify it by saying we get through so much food.. Don't we all but she's in a position where Danny has a fulltime wage, she'll be earning from YouTube and doing hair, so she's a lot more fortunate than other people

Just watched her food haul and she says those king prawns are for their supper... Supper... now that's a luxury a lot of people cannot afford in this cost of living crisis. She also talks of a full stocked up freezer... Does she even care that some people are on the bones of their butts... scrapping by, and she talks of a stocked freezer and supper. Makes me so mad. These youtubers have no empathy.
Especially the glee in her voice, it really irritates me! My dad who sadly had to give up work after he was signed off long term from PTSD and other severe mental health issues (ex Royal marine) he lives on £60 per week after paying his bills. He really does appreciate yellow labels, he's worked his whole life and served for our country he's on the bones of his arse, yet there's people like her who take take take. It makes me furious at how greedy she is, and it's not just one thing she had Danny get her 6 packs of reduced fish the other week when she's already got a freezer full. Can't stand her anymore

I too noticed there's never a yellow label in sight when she has friends round 🤣🤣🤣

And the curry served with a mountain of rice AND potatoes 😬
Sorry if its TMI but I'd be stuck to the loo all night after eating all of that 🤣

I can't believe this is the same Helen I once watched for meal ideas and hints & tips on how to use the instant pot, just look at the state of that meal, apparently they're loaded wedges, they look raw! she did them in bowls as that's all the caravan had, why are they living like that on holiday? it looks vile, can't believe she carted a load of reduced food away with them. Im all for saving where possible and cutting back with prices being as they are but she's been like this for ages now, this isn't because of anything like that.

Once she became pregnant she completely changed, the amazing content she once posted disappeared. Ella is the sweetest little girl, but Helen seems to leave her with the boys, so she can do her own thing, and has done since Ella was tiny, she didn't do that with Olly. She's taken her to a baby group once, I would think that would be good for Ella, I know people regularly mention Helens 'anxiety', but if she's able to hang around morrisons for a couple of hours to get yellow labels drive to London to cut friends hair and socialise with or without Danny in public settings, surely an hour a week at a toddler /baby group would benefit Ella

On her shopping haul she said it takes about two hours to do her yellow sticker shopping because of waiting for things to come out, I really couldn't be bothered

You know the crap you see in charity shops that you look at and think to yourself "who the hell buys this stuff??". Well I think the answer to that question is Helen.. Helen buys it 😂 one man's junk is another man's treasure I suppose

I definitely think Helen is the wrong person to be going after in terms of being grabby and how she should be donating to women’s shelters instead etc-that argument should definitely be taken up with the real grabby fuckers who are a disgrace and shameful in their begging. Helen is as close to ‘normal’ as we will probably get from these you tubers (IMO) and as others have said,as soon as she sees the price of one I doubt she will do it-the foulger family closed theirs down because of the price and they would get sent an awful lot more than she would.

the charity shops she goes to for baby stuff must be very good because where I am it works out not much more expensive to buy things brand new. In saying that,I would have absolutely no problem with second hand baby things (and have purchased many second hand items myself apart from the obvious things that need to be new). I would rather keep the money for when the kids are older and care more about what they are wearing.

I think she lives a very modest lifestyle and her boys certainly aren’t spoilt by any means when you think of the like of Emily Norris and how she spoils her kids. Also her kids are definitely not brats like some of the others so I think she has done a great job. Don’t watch her vlogs that often so surprised she put herself at any risk while pregnant especially as she waited so long for her girl.Has she mentioned anymore about the babies heart condition?

The latest meals seem worse than ever, dry, over cooked, soggy veg and bricks of mash over a lake of gravy. The way she talks about bulking the yellow sticker things out to make them go further would make people think they can't afford to eat any other way, im all for a bargain and actually picked up a chicken with a yellow sticker yesterday as I was going for one anyway but to chuck meals together that do not go and look like gruel for the sake of not paying full price for any of it is just odd.

I know some people might disagree with me, but it really irks me that every shopping haul is a yellow label one- I just feel for instance all of that fish could have been really helpful to a family that are really really struggling. She will most definitely have a chest freezer full of meats etc, but they're In morrisons numerous times a week snatching up loads of yellow labels. I know she has every right to like anyone, but it just doesn't sit right with me that with dannys job, her hairdressing and YouTube they're more in a position than a lot of families to afford a weekly food shop... They can't be doing too bad if they're having family days out and weekends away. I just feel its quite selfish and greedy when it could really benefit people that are on the bones of their arses just now trying to get by.

I mean all those packets of fish was a bit excessive. I would have took 2 or 3 at the most to allow someone else to benefit.

when she said she booked a sun holiday I internally eye rolled. I don’t see why they need to skimp and save so much what exactly are they saving for? Danny is a police officer right? I used to work on payroll for the police and this man will be earning a decent income 😂 honestly why did they have so many kids if they can’t put their hand in their pocket and spend money on them?

I can't stand her anymore

Why have kids if you don't want to try and give them the best of everything if you're in a positiohere is nothing wrong if you're feeding your family yellow labels, second hand clothes and toys especially if you're surviving on benefits or a low income wage but let's face it Danny is most likely earning a comfortable wage for them to at least be able to afford a full food shop, clothes that aren't second hand, she does people's hair which she'll charge for, and she'll make a small amount from YouTube, not to mention I'm sure she'll make Cameron contribute towards the household income with him working because he eats everything she cooks and she most definitely seems the type that'll charge board money.

II've never ever known someone to be so tight and its taking everything for me to not comment on her video saying why do you feed your kids yellow labels but buy all the branded food and alcohol for your friends?
I struggle to tolerate her now.

They don't seem to do much family activities do they such as swimming, days out at the park, soft play for Olly and Ella.

Only those sun caravan holidays and a once a year birthday day out.

Those poor kids

In a position too *

Takeaways a kebab stretched between the 6 of them.
Fish and chips but its always aldi frozen fish and a bag of chips to share.

Tbh I don’t agree, why bring a child into the world if you’re not going to try your best to give them everything? anything against this is just completely selfish. they must have a decent income into the household and the lack of spending puts me off them massively. sounds like a completely boring life to lead not spending your money youve earnt on memories and experiences, especially with children. the kids can be polite and nice but maybe they’re scared of asking for anything. Not everything as it seems on YouTube and I feel sorry for the children tbh
They don't seem short of anything tech wise they have x boxes ,switch ,laptop etc ,maybe lacking in stylish clothes but they're an alternative style kind of family .I don't think kids needs 'everything' material things are just that they're easily replaced ,some kids want time and attention instead of being handed another game for their console and told to go to their room, when I look at some of the bigger influencers I feel sorry for their kids they seem like an inconvenience stuck on an Ipad all day while mum and dad are stuck to their phone no interaction at all just posed so mum can get a good shot for Insta ,I don't get that from Helen they genuinely like spending time doing things together.

She’s expecting! I’m so, so happy for her! I pray and hope that this little one sticks as I know she had a chemical pregnancy in the past I think.

It's like when they spent nearly £300 each on themselves on new clothes boots and nic nacs. OK Danny works hard and deserves a treat, but out of all that they didn't buy the boys one thing apart from bits to put away for their birthdays.
That £300 each could have been a lot of new clothes for the boys.
Again maybe I'm being unreasonable, Danny does work hard for their money, and they seem to save well but it doesn't sit well with me that they can splurge like that on themselves but feed their kids yellow stickers pretty much every night and put them in second hand clothes when really they seem in a position that they don't have to live like that.

There's nothing with feeding your family with reduced food and there are many amazing families and parents who are really struggling especially just now who can only manage to feed their children yellow stickers and clothe their children in second hand clothes (use are doing an amazing job!)
But I just feel with Helen it's utter greed and tightness with money.


I'm sure with camron being over sixteen now and working she won't get child benefit for him, so I'm sure she'd able to claim for Ella. Because Liam and Olly were born before April 2017 she'll definitely get for them depending on Danny's Income but I can't see it being over the thresh hold for child benefit so she may even get child tax credits as well. Yes I agree 😊

Plus I'm sure she'll earn a small amount from YouTube now with the ads in her videos and the hair she does as well
I agree they deserve a treat and yes Danny does work hard,but hes the one who wanted a 4th child and he pushed Helen to give up on looking for a part time job,because he preferred to have her at home in case they had another baby. She was in the running for classroom assistant,but after interviews the head withdrew the position. This may sound mean,but Helen certainly isn't someone id want helping my child if they had literacy problems, her own vocabulary and literacy skills are fairly poor, maybe this was why the head withdrew the position because of the standard of applicants.
