Her dh can cook and her babies are sooooo cute. Plus she's probably rich.

yeh true but what does she actually DO?? She's living off someone else's money. Apart from what she got for her book, which would've got published if she wasn't a wife of a famous chef??? Hmm

wigglesrock · 20/12/2010 21:25

But she's married to the most annoying, smug, irritating, up his own arse, man ever Grin

XmasDecsFallDownIfYouUseBluTac · 20/12/2010 21:26

What does she actually do? Brings up 4 children.

NorbertDentressangelOnTheTree · 20/12/2010 21:26

Yes, but could you? Would you? With Jamie? Shock

I sure as hell wouldn't touch him. Not even with someone elses bargepole.

AliceandtheGinormousBaps · 20/12/2010 21:26

Erm....since when has being a sahm 'living off someone elses money'? Hmm

Valpollicella · 20/12/2010 21:26

Lolo, so what? She's a SAHM essentially. Smile

Would you say the same thing about any other SAHM?

stressheaderic · 20/12/2010 21:27

Not sure I'd want her life. 4 young kids and a fairly often absent husband. Not for me.

She seems a decent sort though, all fresh-faced and not arsed about celebrity. And she has the same spotty Maclaren as me.

nancydrewrockinaroundxmastree · 20/12/2010 21:27

Allegedly he is notoriously badly behaved Shock

BelligerentYhoULE · 20/12/2010 21:27

YABU - her husband has a silly voice and looks like the back end of a bus and she seems to do nothing except smile stupidly. I'd rather have my dp and my brain tbh - although some of JO's money might come in handy. It must be horrible to be a woman who is known for nothing other than who she is married to.

JingleBelleDameSansMerci · 20/12/2010 21:27

YABU... Jamie's tongue is too big for his mouth. She has to live with that

SpringHeeledJack · 20/12/2010 21:28

two words

fat tongue

...and she's not living off someone else's money- she's raising his kids while he swans off around the globe

EvilTwinsAteRudolph · 20/12/2010 21:28

Watching them on TV now? She looks bloody knackered. Which suggests that they don't have a nanny, so good for her.

MsKLo · 20/12/2010 21:28

so what if she is a sahm and lives off his money? wouldnt most of us do the same if dh or dp earned gazilllions?! i bloody well would!

she doesnt deserve to be slated for living off his money or for staying home - sounds bloody lovely to me!

awww, I like them, though. They're nice

MsKLo · 20/12/2010 21:29

nancy - what Jamie badly behaved? no way

i do not believe it for a second

no way?

lololizzy · 20/12/2010 21:30

I meant, famous for being a wife and mum. Famous via him. I don't see how that merits book sales.. Having children isn't WHO she is. It's not all she is. But she's only known as Jamie's wife/ mother of four. Sorry just me being a bit feminist i guess..feel free to flame!

mugggletoeandwine · 20/12/2010 21:30

I bet he slobbers horribly when he's ahem eating carpet

lulurose · 20/12/2010 21:30

What a snide thread. Sad

godspeed · 20/12/2010 21:30

EvilTwinsAteRudolph> why is it good for her not to have a nanny? Because women must suffer and be exhausted to prove their maternal ability?
aagh SAHM smuggery

FanjoKazooie · 20/12/2010 21:30

I always think he comes across as treating her in a very cold manner and she always seems a bit erm, subservient Shock. They don't seem like a happy couple in my extremely uninformed opinion.

Alouiseg · 20/12/2010 21:30

I hate these threads! Makes me think of bitchy schoolgirls.

poshsinglemum · 20/12/2010 21:30

She's so wholesome and yummy mummyish. (barf)

lololizzy · 20/12/2010 21:31
