She doesn’t really seem herself these days which is sad to see. I don’t enjoy her content as much but still keep up with some videos. Shame really as she was one of the only ones I really enjoyed watching
I don't think it’s too ambitious to self teach 5 GCSEs.. I know home educated children who have done it/doing it but you do need to be really committed & disciplined.No mention of the GCSE’s she was studying for. I thought it was a bit ambition to try and self teach all them subjects.
I agree, she was my favourite, to be honest one of the only few I even watched. It is nice seeing her back and I understand why she’s changed it, but I still miss how it used to be..She doesn’t really seem herself these days which is sad to see.

Yes but with 5 children and a home to run it is always going to be hard not to get distracted. I think she would have been better going to night school or something.I don't think it’s too ambitious to self teach 5 GCSEs..

I do agree with that, she was justifying being at home. I wasn’t convinced she would follow them through as she had previously said that her & James discussed it and she would be a stay at home mum until all the kids had left full time education.. I don’t get it, if that’s what they want to do as a family then that’s their business, but possibly she felt the pressure from others..Yes but with 5 children and a home to run it is always going to be hard not to get distracted.

Also to be fair I don’t think she was that committed anyway. I think she was getting a lot of comments about if she was going back to work now the youngest was at school. And she felt like she needed to show she was ‘studying’ And aiming for her return to work.
The youngest is only in reception so if that’s the case she’s potentially got another 11 years at home!I do agree with that, she was justifying being at home.

By that time it will be time for her to retire . If something happened to James she would be in so much trouble with her pension and that .The youngest is only in reception so if that’s the case she’s potentially got another 11 years at home!
He's probably buying extra food as well as what he's given for packed lunch - my son certainly was at that age. in fact, he preferred to buy his own than have a packed lunch, he very often came home with his packed lunch uneaten because he'd been out with his mates to the chippy at lunchtime or bought hot lunch in the school canteen.Just watched her packed lunches she does for the kids. Does anyone else think that she doesn’t give the eldest much. He’s a 17/18 teenager and she gives him the same lunch as his younger siblings. I know from experience lads of that age you can’t normally fill them up.
I agree she missed a trick with not filming the decluttering of the garage but instead talked about it in a vlog which for me was boring. They should convert it for a bedroom for Colby.I noticed she has lost a lot of subs. I guess she feels her hands are tied. Who knows!
I wanted to see more of her GCSE stuff too but that seems to be on the back burner and I also think she missed a trick with the garage. She could have time lapsed that or at least covered it more. Ironically I am going to do my loft in the next few weeks and have been watching loads of decluttering videos
It was something that always boggled my mind back when I watched her, was how brand name heavy her food shop was. I know many of us often have a couple of things where we like a specific brand of something, but some of the things she bought branded I found absurd, the supermarket own brand being the same quality but way cheaper.How do they afford all of that bloody food on her husbands wages?
As a taxi driver in the northwest the average yearly wage is meant to be about £20000. With 5 kids they would be entitled to Working family tax credits which could be up to £1000 a month plus they would also get about £300 a month child benefit. So I agree with you there is no reason why she shouldn’t work but maybe if they do claim benefits to top up their income it probably isn’t worth it.She’s a lovely lady but I don’t understand why she’s not working? There’s no reason for her to not work surely? Because her children are now at school, the youngest one is Carson and he’s at school. And is it true her husband works as a taxi driver? How do they afford all of that bloody food on her husbands wages? Unless she claims benefits? The mind boggles.
