Mrs Hinch 2

[Booie09]

I don't get why people stockpile cleaning stuff! I have 1 bottle Zoflora, 1 bleach , 1 Mr Muscle bathroom cleaner, 1 Mr Muscle window cleaner, 1 bottle of fairy liquid! Would rather have money sitting in my bank instead of my cupboard.

I had to join as I’ve been wanting to comment!
I followed her about 2 months ago and enjoyed watching her - but it’s just become boring now. She cleans an already clean house and puts constant swipe ups on anything she buys! I’m sure her army would buy the same toilet paper as her if she put a swipe up! 😑

@Lilbee23 it has become a bit mad!

DH does, because he cleans for a living. It's quite useful, being able to raid the business stash when I run out... 🤭

That was a painful watch. That Rebecca is clearly too clever for trash tv like gmtv or whatever it's called now.

Hoovers are not fucking presents!!

Hoovers are a present though if somebody actually wants and asks for one!

I dont think she has a perfect life or house!

Nope, as much as I love my Shark hoover if someone handed it over as present for me I'd be pure raging.

I did cringe at the personalised embroidered towels.....hmmm, nafftastic.

@MinecraftHolmes For the smell, yes. It's very diluted. It's no worse than spraying febreze. I imagine there's more harm in a bottle of Chanel No.5 than a bottle of Lenor.

And the bitterness continues.. 'her house is awful' - it's HER house! Pipe down!

Nope, as much as I love my Shark hoover if someone handed it over as present for me I'd be pure raging

That's you though.Some clearly do want one as a present as I saw someone in the FB group post in all happiness the other day (slight paraphrasing as can't remember exact words) "look he does listen and love me, I' got a Shark!"
If someone wants it as a present, then why shouldn't it be a present?
Me, I'd rather have wine or books. Everyone's different though.

@kisscub - funny you should make that comparison between Chanel & Lenor, my boarding school room mate once spilt most of a bottle of Chanel no 5 Elixir. It went everywhere and seemed to ingrain itself into the furniture. I had headaches for a week and can't bear the smell now!!

It's a Hoover, that's why it's not a present. These poor bloody women need to value themselves a bit more if they are getting weak at the knees because their man bought them a Hoover.

If the household needs a new Hoover it gets a new Hoover, same goes for all household appliances.

Kisscub - proper bitter ain’t they! There is nothing awful about her house, yes it’s not my taste and probably not a lot of people’s but you can’t say it’s awful.

It's awfully grey.

I can say that.

Getyourrocksoff - why do you get to make up the rules? A present is something somebody wants so could be anything. How are women de-valuing themselfs by wanting a new hoover? If that’s what they want them let them be!

Yes you can - in your opinion. Clearly 1 million people seem to like her house so it can’t be that bad.

Okay so I have to ask as I’m confused by your logic...

So I am on mat leave with my baby right and me and OH had the discussion that my car isn’t suitable for a baby so we agreed when I’m back to work next year we will get me a new one. Then about 5 weeks ago my OH surprises me with a new car. Now should I be ungrateful that he brought me this and is de-valuing me as a women? It isn’t a present if the household needs a new car they need a new car, thoughts?

Personally I was over the mood and ‘weak at the knees’.

She cleans because it helps her cope with her anxiety and i have to admit after reading her story I understand why she lives the way she does.

Just noticed this bit, but can completely relate to it. Anxiety's crap, racing thoughts and overthinking. I've never been interested in cleaning, with a dh who's prone to hoarding given half the chance to boot, raising kids and staying at home over the years after always working, it all slides on your mental health even if everything's been rosy before it can accumulate after 10 years or so of it.
You lose sight of you. You don't realise how much a messy or cluttered house can affect your state until you want to start trying to tackle it again. Which is why I'm glad I found Mrs Hinch, first time ever felt motivated to want to get this house sorted properly lol.
Plus cleaning is a perfect way to practise mindfulness, as it focuses your thoughts to the present.

I would be thrilled with a new hoover! Not because I love cleaning but because I am the one who does the majority of the hoovering and my current one is cumbersome and has seen better days. I don’t have disposable income to just buy a new decent one so if I was given one as a present I would be pretty happy!

It's a Hoover, that's why it's not a present. These poor bloody women need to value themselves a bit more if they are getting weak at the knees because their man bought them a Hoover.

WTF, no. Why should every woman be told how they should be thinking and what they should be liking?! That's what gets me. You have people saying even on here that yes, they would like one. It is a present to them. Why should what they want not matter because you think women shouldn't want that? It's what THEY want!!
Maybe they like cleaning. I personally don't much, but for first time ever have started to do more as finding it more fun. If I suddenly turned round to DH and said I wanted a shark for Christmas, why the hell shouldn't I?Doesn't mean I should value myself more. It would mean me just wanting something that I would like.

People can want whatever theircheart desires for Christmas.

As for me, I'd rather not ask for a hoover. We need one. But that kinda item ain't making my list, it come come out of the household budget because it's not what I want. It'll be what the house needs.

But someone desperately wants a Dyson/Shark etc and it's a luxury item they desire then fine. Ask away.

Not for me, but if cleaning is your hobby then fine. I prefer books, make up and gin personally 😁 but that's my sensibilities.

I get why Mrs H cleans. I'm not sure her standards are achievable for your average working family, but if it helps you then fine. She's not for me, but again, my sensibilities. I can't relate to her fake eyelashes, grey everything, personalised towel (whhhhyyyy?!) kid free life at all. Her stories I've tried watching and nearly nodded off.

She does definitely need to be honest about her affiliate work though.

What's the back story? Why was she in hospital and why does she have inn injections every day? I know it's private but she posted from hospital every day and it doesn't seem to be a secret.

She seems lovely tbh although the account is not for me so I unfollowed. I'm another one who doesn't like her account or tomm. I think they both capitalise and profit from misogyny, manipulating often vulnerable and lonely women. Good luck to them if that's how they want to earn their pennies though.

@VerbeenaBeeks Absolutely agree!
I too thought that feminism is about women having a free choice.
Do you want a career? Great!
Do you want to be home with family? Great!
Want a really good hoover for Christmas? Great!
Want a set of really good hairdryer? Great!
Man are made up with quality tools. Tbh I would be too

That's how it should be. I bet you that woman gets plenty of "antifemist" gifts. Make up? Racy underwear from husband? But that obviously doesn't count.

She was also rather rude on GMB talking over Lyndsey while Lyndsey usually waited until the other one finishes.

As a woman I want to have a choice and I don't want to be judged by other women who claim to foght for our right of choice.

That Rebecca held her composure extremely well being harangued by people that think it's ok to be a woman and clean,clean,clean. Why could the other lady get what it actually means to be a feminist, why couldn't she understand about the importance of the gender pay gap. I do get tired of women thinking that feminism is only about choice, it isn't.

And if my husband bought me a vacuum for Christmas I'd tell him to fuck off I think. We need one to clean the house, I do not want one presented to me as a gift because that gives the impression it's for my sole use, when in reality if the floor needs cleaning and we're both home, he can do it. If he gave me a beautiful new necklace as a gift he wouldn't be borrowing it so the assumption s he bought it for you to use, not him. It's really not hard to understand that is it?
