Anyone else feeling annoyed by this woman's "No buy year". She's put up a load of rules about how she can replenish items and buy a replacement if something breaks. Can buy one treat for her kids a month etc.
Tonight she's gone shopping to exchange something. Bought a Costa, then has the cheek to come home and show a #gifted Benefit set!
The replacements are more than I can guarantee on a normal month. I don't have Costa because I can't justify the cost! People are following for genuine tips on a no buy and she's advertising her gifted make up! I did message her but she took a leaf out of Meldrums book and blocked me! Find it very insulting to normal families who live a genuine no buy every single month!

I’ve just unfollowed her - I thought she was being sincere until I saw this thread. Hun...bye.

Why are they not highlighting the greater issues surrounding no buy - reducing consumerism, reducing the amount of clothes that get sent to landfill as a result of fast fashion and thinking of the future environment for our children and our children’s children. Idiots the lot of them...greater idiots are the ones that follow them without question.

We could all do a No Spend Year if we were gifted everything our family could possibly need or want.

She’s unrealistic & patronising.

She’ll be gifted a HelloFresh box soon and then some Next clothes for the family and maybe some days out or kids movie events to attend so she really won’t need to spend a penny! Lucky her.

I love how Charlie (Mummyintheknow) gives away loads of the free PR stuff she’s sent to her followers or to charities. She’s always really honest when she’s sent something that she wouldn’t use or buy herself.

I'm getting so annoyed by the "you're an inspiration" comments. How??? How can someone who only doesn't spend because they get everything free be an inspiration??

The smugness is real in this one. Unsubbed a few weeks ago. Can't bear her. And her no buy is, frankly, laughable.

Guessing the no buy is over since she’s on stories showing a new dress she bought . Didn’t notice her announce she was stopping it maybe she’s just hoping everyone’s forgotten 😅😅

I just find her incredibly boring. The titles of her videos look good but then I get bored a few minutes in

She showed her 'bargain' car seats on stories the other day. I messaged her about how unsafe they are (I was nice about iy) and I'm sure many others did the same. Yet they're off on an outing using them ?

I saw this but I'm realising that all vloggers know better so I've stopped wasting time giving advice. In terms of car seats bargains aren't a good thing generally! It sucks but the more expensive brands are better

I like Ysis, she had a career before YouTube and must be a smart woman. She has been on 2 Haven caravan holidays in the past few weeks, she's posting pics on Instagram but no Ad declared. Is she becoming as shady as the rest of the channel mums?

I was wondering the same.

I’m actually really judging these women for spending any money in the first place, the amount they get thrown at them for free. Not very savvy business women are they?!

This no spend stuff is just ridiculously pretentious. I assume they mean not spending on luxuries but then they still get them because they are ‘gifted’ them!! Then there’s people working hard to scrape every penny and having to forsake things like hair cuts or costa coffees because things crop up like their child has outgrown their shoes, or simply because their weekly budget doesn’t allow for it ever! Just shows they live in a completely different world.

Yeah, she’s definitely doing an Edgy. Like “I’m not spending anything.....but here are the exceptions”. ?

I find it so offensive. I work full time (I know these princesses have a "job", but i actually go out leaving my kids in childcare) and pay creche fees. When I pay my bills there's no exceptions. If there's no money there's no money. Like most working families!
Absolutely no consideration for their followers

I don’t think she’s the most offensive vlogger but I have just watched her latest ‘no buy’ vlog - what I regret not buying. It sounds like a begging list for companies to send her freebies. ?

I came on here to say this exact thing. The ghd brush is all over insta, bets on a #gifted any day soo?
