It sounds like gwyneth has the weekend sorted but what do they eat all week?Hmm

HellinArcher · 14/01/2011 20:42

love the bit about the kids having cupcakes before bed, but it's ok because they had a balanced meal of "brown rice" and "baked sweet potato" - in what way is that balanced?

sethstarkaddersmackerel · 14/01/2011 20:43

I bet their nannies are seething.

CatIsSleepy · 14/01/2011 20:45

yeah the brown rice and sweet potato thing made me laugh too
super-yummy!
washed down with a cup of lemon flax oil...

Shewhoshallnotbenamed · 14/01/2011 20:47

What do you think they'd say to the fact that my DD is currently being paid 50p to play with my hair.......!

(she's saving for her summer holiday, I am inventing tasks - it's great!)

taffetacat · 14/01/2011 20:48

MsKLo · 14/01/2011 20:52

They both sound ridiculous!

DuplicitousBitch · 14/01/2011 20:52

why isn't it all enough for her, what is she trying to prove on that ridiculous website?

bloomingnora · 14/01/2011 20:53

I can't really comment on the words because I couldn't be arsed to read such inanity but if you look at the picture at the top they both have hands like hideous witches claws.

noddyholder · 14/01/2011 20:54

I know if I had their money I wouldn't cook anything clean anything and would hire someone to parent my kids!Enjoy the vacuous easy life don't try and come down to our level - it's shit!

mdavza · 14/01/2011 20:55

It's just so "memememememememem" Not much place for anybody else in that relationship.

ILikeMilk · 14/01/2011 20:58

Mdavza, do you know them personally?

DuplicitousBitch · 14/01/2011 21:00

exactly noddy!

MatureUniStudent · 14/01/2011 21:01

blooming - you made me laugh - because I spotted Stella's yucky bent toes!

lexxity · 14/01/2011 21:08

I quote

?Not a good beginning,? she writes. ?Got Apple all fed and dressed in her uniform and ready to go but no sign nor sight of Moses at 8am and we have to be out of the house by 8.20.?
?I went up to arouse the little man from slumber and he quite happily got up and crawled into my arms.
?I made him a quick breakfast of eggs and toast followed by a spoonful of lemon flavored flax oil that I try to remember to give them both. Getting everyone into the car on time was a challenge; we?re going through a phase where no one seems to be responding to me.?

You got the boy up and dressed and in the car with that breakfast inside him in 20 minutes? No you didn't. You maybe got him up but the cook sure as hell made the breakfast and the maid got the daughter strapped in to the car seat. No way did you manage that in 20 minutes, not possible.

chandellina · 14/01/2011 21:11

gee hope you all feel better about yourselves now, celebs are people too!

bloomingnora · 14/01/2011 21:11

Oh god, the toes Toooooo thin. Strange skeleton people.....

sethstarkaddersmackerel · 14/01/2011 21:13

ILikeMilk - if you know them, do tell us sooner rather than later, and we can treat you with the respect you deserve.

toeragsnotriches · 14/01/2011 21:15

Trying on loads of stuff gives you bo? Who knew?

Is there an email somewhere I can contact Gwynnie to ask her what to do about tricky parenting problems? For some reason the kids just aren't eating their mung bean spaghetti.
