AIBU to wonder what poor Kirsty Allsop’s kids will do now...

She’s smashed their iPads? Poor darlings won’t have anything to do in cattle class now....

Maybe she’ll give them crafting stuff to keep them busy....

Your suggestions please (and yes, light-hearted before I get politely slammed for suggesting iPads are necessary entertainment for children on planes —they are— )

Maybe their punishment is to mend the sodding things. You can't have em back til you've got em working

HateIsNotGood · 10/09/2018 20:05

Maybe she recycled them?

Maybe she needs to tell BBC ‘hateisnotgood’ Kirsty. They’re saying she smashed ‘em.

Did she really smash them? What a cunt. She's utterly vile. She's probably got them in some boarding school anyhow and employs someone to look after them when they're home.

shamofamockery · 10/09/2018 20:10

It's quite worrying how much hatred I have for her. She's vile.

Racecardriver · 10/09/2018 20:11

Up cycle them into placemats of course!

BabySharkAteMyHamster · 10/09/2018 20:11

Having lived through the constant drama and nagging that dc having an ipad can bring I bet it felt bloody satisfying tho.

I wouldnt smash dds.......i'm too stingy. I have remotely deactivated it though and changed the password. She's a damn sight happier for it.

longwayoff · 10/09/2018 20:14

Her kids had ipads? Dont believe it, you cant make them by hand, gathered round the kitchen table, with scraps from granny's attic so I think she's not telling the whole truth.

HateIsNotGood · 10/09/2018 20:15

Just wow! I can't believe the venom here I'm reading about Kirsty. Having spent several decades not really paying her much attention, in between [apparently] working I am more than happy to defend her to the last blanket stitch that was ever created.

Firstly, do you have any idea what it was like being a Posh Girl called Kirsty? No, I bet you don't - I (I mean Kirsty) could have turned to drugs, selling my soul and body marrying money or all sorts of things - if you can imagine the bullying for being a Posh Kirsty.

So, I make nice smudgy, by the Aga things - and I'm very nicely straightforward when I explain that this is the price of the things you want and this is how much money you have .

To be honest I Kirsty could and should be a Right Cunt really.

HateIsNotGood · 10/09/2018 20:16

I smashed a non-working ipad and then took it to the Recycling. They want the 'metals' .

Whisky2014 · 10/09/2018 20:17

I like her!

EwItsAHooman · 10/09/2018 20:18

There are days where I'd love to.smash the DC's iPads. I'd use the Xbox to hammer them into oblivion and break that at the same time.

ForalltheSaints · 10/09/2018 20:18

Listen to stories about Phil (edited for child friendliness of course).

GabsAlot · 10/09/2018 20:21

she did say she wasnt going to tell this story

i bet she wish she hadnt now

Badcat666 · 10/09/2018 20:27

Oh she'll have them making xmas bunting which has been weaved from her hair collected from her vintage hair brushes and baking jolly biscuits moistened by their tears which she will try and pass off as her own at the local fair.

keyboardkate · 10/09/2018 20:28

All publicity is good publicity for some whose star might be waning.

Badcat666 · 10/09/2018 20:29

Maybe she thought etch-a-sketch are called Ipads?

Loonoon · 10/09/2018 20:35

I was shocked she did this let alone admitted it. What a shocking waste of money and resources. And by the sound of it she did it in what amounted to a fit of rage because the children were not obeying rules. Perhaps her next class should be anger management.

Shenanagins · 10/09/2018 20:37

I remember the mumsnetter who threw the Xbox out the window due to cheek from her ds. Seemed to sort out his behaviour quite quickly!

brizzledrizzle · 10/09/2018 20:39

She's a prize bitch and abusive to her children. You can buy software for ipads/tablets to limit the hours spent on them, it's easily set up and she can easily afford it so she should have done that.

As for what they do on the plane, she flies business class and the children fly economy so it's not her problem.

papayasareyum · 10/09/2018 20:40

I have a fantasy where I take a small hammer and smash up the dcs iPads. I wouldn’t. Mostly because it’s wasteful and it would make more sense to donate them to someone else. ( not as satisfying though)

GabsAlot · 10/09/2018 20:42

she did say she was premium not business and foiur rows away from them but its still odd to purposely book them into a lower class

Gabsalot Sob! Without their iPads!

Kirsty: any thoughts on the money and the shagging Phil thing?

OP posts:
StorminaBcup · 10/09/2018 20:53

But but but she did it in a nice way. (Can you smash an iPad in a nice way?)

Kirsty and Phil can't stand each other apparently so I don't think there's been much shagging.

Ngaio2 · 10/09/2018 20:54

Gabsalot she has plenty of practice in forgetting about them. They’re away at boarding school most of the year so I imagine it’s a case of out of sight out of mind.
If she hadn’t been so angry she could have put the iPads away until the boys went back to school when it would become the school’s problem
