Extensions can cost a lot and if they are getting a new kitchen, flooring etc they'll probably go for high end stuff which would bump up the price. Also if the house is old then there's probably damp or woodworm or something which could be a surprise cost. Also it depends on how much DIY they doyeh even so 100,000.is a lot for renovations, anyone know what they are doing?!
Literally says it all really doesn’t itIn Joe's latest vlog, they go visit their Dad for Fathers Day and she finally get's to open the Xmas presents from him... in fuckin June!
No way. That is sad. I've never thought it before but now I do... that Alfie has seperated her from her old friends and her family. She never sees her grandparents either anymore. But now that Alfie is away, she is suddenly back home and visiting her family, out running, spending time with her mum, etc. I am sorry but there is something really wrong with that. ZOE, DUMP HIM, PLEASE.In Joe's latest vlog, they go visit their Dad for Fathers Day and she finally get's to open the Xmas presents from him... in fuckin June!
You can't put that on him though. She's the one who constantly needs to be with others and this time while Alfie's gone, she's attached herself to Joe (and Poppy) - last time it was her mum, and it's been Mark most other times the last couple of years. If she could just learn to exist independently for change, she could go visit her family on her own if Alfie isn't interested - I mean Alfie has no troubles leaving Zoe alone. She's actively choosing not to see her family - with or without Alfie - and that lies on her.No way. That is sad.

Last time Alfie was away and then when he came back, she had a full on panic attack, and honestly, I felt that was really telling.You can't put that on him though.

Who she really needs to ditch is that therapist. Clearly her anxiety and codependency issues have not been worked out, and by sticking with the stupid Skype sessions they never will be. She needs someone to challenge her to make strides to venture out of the house on her own - even just to get groceries or pick up lunch (instead of delivery) - and to spend a night alone in the house. She turns into whoever she's with - with Mark the silent laugher, her mom she gardens and runs, Joe she cares about family, and Alfie well... She needs to develop a fucking independent personality that is hers alone and figure out what she actually likes and dislikes and not just become a carbon copy of whoever she's leeched onto fearing they'll leave her. It's okay to have interests that differ from those around you.
I agree with you, she’s a fucking adult, she needs to grow up. But I do believe Alfie contributes to her shitty lifestyle, which she is kind of blind to but deep down she really knows he sucks, I think.. that’s why she’s so unhappy. He’s a total prick who manipulates her emotions, and she has allowed him to.You can't put that on him though.

Sorry didn’t realise you meant you just the reno’s OriginallyOoooh that makes a lot more sense. I'm guessing reno costs are 100-200k? I haven't seen the house tho
I know house prices down south are expensive - I live there! Great for my parents cos their house is worth 5x what they paid - sucks for me
she could see the best therapist in the land with all the money she hasI agree with you, she’s a fucking adult, she needs to grow up.

A Skype therapist is a crock of shit, she needs to sit down with a more qualified person in that field, but at the end of the day a therapist can’t wave a magic wand and solve all of someone’s problems, and are actually trained to kind of “agree” or see that persons side of a situation. In the end it’s all up to her and her own choices. I hope by 30 she can make some real improvements and HOPEFULLY ditch Horse Teeth Deyes.
I also think there’s a big difference between the effort that dianne makes with joes(and zoes) family compared to alfie.Watched Joe’s vlog, wow Wiltshire is gorgeous! They are lucky to have grown up there. Love how Joe said him and Dianne could one day live in the first house he and zoe lived in growing up.
I’m actually glad Zoe spent the day with them, to see how a real relationship is. (I like Joe & Dianne together..) it’s weird though because Zoe still seemed a bit out of place... like even seeing her father, she has removed herself so far from things that would actually be good for her. Joe, Dianne, their father, all seem to have a sense of humor which I know Zoe has as well, you can see the stark contrast when thinking of Alfie, who has none what-so-ever. He doesn’t even know how to handle sarcasm. I bet that could be pretty frustrating for Zoe... he’s not only a shitty boyfriend but a humorless bore.
Yeah thinking back to when Alfie would visit (thinking wayyy back ) it sort of seemed he was just sitting there politely, on the edge of things. Not rude but not really engaging, like Dianne does. Maybe he made it obvious to Zoe he was bored so she doesn't want him to go again which is pretty twatty and fits the idea of him being controlling we've been debating. Zoe should grow up and go by herself but that's irrelevant really. A partner should try and get along with their spouses family and not act like it's a big chore, it's quite hurtful. Plus hypocritical considering how close Zoe is with his. Of course this is all hypothetitcal. He might not be like that.I also think there’s a big difference between the effort that dianne makes with joes(and zoes) family compared to alfie.
Haha id hope soHer Dad seems straight forward and down to earth so maybe he's made it clear he thinks Alfie is a twat?
