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.

You're perfectly within your rights to tell your DH to fuck off if he bought you a hoover.
You don't get to make the rules for what other women want or don't want though.

And if my husband bought me a vacuum for Christmas I'd tell him to fuck off I think.

And that’s fine for you but I wouldn’t because I would quite like a new fancy hoover. See we are all different, not hard to understand that is it?

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 had a blood clot in her leg, the injections will possibly be blood thinning. Not nice, and quite painful, not to mention scary!

I'm not a fan of Mrs Hinch's ethos but still, not nice to say her house is horrible. It's not to my taste but on these threads it better to keep comments more general and not get too personal.

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!

What's a swipe up?

I saw on facebook that people were moaning about her because the price of everything she uses is going up - and its mostly poundshop stuff.

She did make me clean my bathroom last night though when I wouldn't have done otherwise. I've had a bottle of Zoflora sitting in my cupboard for yonks so I got it out yesterday morning, poured a tiny bit round the toilet and a cap-full round the bath like she did in the one video I watched. When DP got home he asked me did I dye my hair or bleach everywhere cos it stinks. When I got in, it nearly fucking choked me. Admittedly we are both ill with chesty coughs atm but I don't know how she lives in that house with all that synthetic fragrance & chemicals. God help someone that walks past smoking! Maybe I should have diluted it but she didn't, she whacked a whole cap-full undiluted in the bath and left it cos she wanted to smell it when she came back. I've never used and probably won't again. But I had to clean the bathroom to get rid of the smell.

Eliza, a swipe up is a direct weblink put on an instastory on instagram, its usually an affiliate link so if a follower buys anything, the grammer gets a small percentage. The ASA rules say instagrammers are supposed to label affiliate links so its fully disclosed to their followers, but that is where the gram gets murky and many don't, and also actively refuse to, or they put an 'AF' hashtag in a corner where its almost invisible. Grammers don't seem to like being accountable to ASA rules or even a moral code

Ok thank you.

i watched one yesterday when i was seeing what all the fuss is about.
she wiped her dining table down with lenor?
wtf? i am assuming for the smell? who wants a strong chemical smell when you're trying to eat your dinner?

the whole house must be an unbelievable cocktail of chemical smells- overpowering i would imagine

she wiped her dining table down with lenor?

She usually uses Zoflora. I watched her "dust" a big mirror by just swishing a feather duster across the middle of it... She reminded me of my old window cleaners...corner blind!

she also rarely cleans under anything, dusts or wipes around stuff. Still haven't seen her clean under the toilet seat yet either.

She is needing to show us the inside of her microwave as I've just watched a story where she is shopping and I've spotted readymeals in the trolley (not saying there is anything wrong with readymeals, I use them myself at times).

I need the motivation to clean my kitchen but instead I've sat and watched a load of cleaning accounts on IG.

Argh at the amount of women who'd love a hoover as a bloody present. I do all the hoovering in my house too. Dp has a disability. But if we needed a new Hoover it would be a household purchase not a frigging gift!

My husband wanted a new lawnmower for his birthday this year, is that a problem for people? What if he had wanted a hoover?

If someone would like a hoover, a lawnmower, a kitchenaid or a new toolset then what is actually wrong with that? I would rather have a gift that I am going to use that might make my life a bit easier than say a new pair of shoes or handbag or necklace.

Exactly, thesearms! Presumably it's Ok to ask for what he likes as he's a man. Seems like some women can't help themselves saying that they shouldn't be having a hoover as it's anti feminist or whatevs.
Women telling other women what they should or shouldn't be doing like the woman who wrote the article or those on here "saying poor bloody women, think more of yourselves" aren't any better than men telling them what to do. People should be able to choose!

Thesesrmsoffmine - it will be 😂 he isn’t allowed it as a gift as it is a household item ! Please teach your husband that he can’t have what he wants for his birthday, the ladies in mumsnet have very strict rules around it.

For me items that are needed for the house shouldn't be gifts, if we need something for the house then we buy it. DH said last week that he'd like a new tv so we went shopping for one. Maybe I should just be thankful that I don't have to wait until xmas/bdays for big purchases.

I enjoy her insta stories.
Her look and decor isn’t what I’d pick but she’s friendly, doesn’t take herself too seriously and acknowledges that her ridiculous amount of cleaning products is now mainly gifted from the companies themselves.
And it is satisfying to see something being cleaned and it has motivated me to clean things more regularly - although I don’t go as far with the competing chemicals.

Just to add if my DH got me a Hoover for Xmas I’d be telling him to shove it up his arse. It’s a household product not a gift.

So who has been annoying this IGer but sending messages about the environment.

BTW THIS IS NOT MRS H IG.

^ shocking. Who was it?

So people think it's normal, healthy behaviour to clean an already perfectly clean table, with scented disinfectant?

And to spray themselves with fabric softener?

Who cleans a clean thing??

And who wants to smell Zoflora when they're eating???

It's just wrong, and weird, and really fucking bad for you and the environment.

I agree feminism is about having a free choice, but also that it's pretty fucking depressing that the female Instagram sensation of the past few months isn't someone doing something really creative, or groundbreaking, or good for the planet, or philanthropic even - just shopping for and cleaning with products by huge global conglomerates who don't give a shit about anything except making money.

Maybe you don’t think it’s a gift as you live a completely different world to others(that’s not meant to be offensive). For example you may enjoy focusing all your time and money on clothes, make up, hobbies, travelling, sports etc however some of these ladies may enjoy focus their time on their homes so they enjoy new cool hoovers.

Also you have to consider different circumstances : me and my oh are a young couple with our first baby and new house so spare cash isn’t floating around, when we moved into our home, yes we needed a household hoover so we brought a cheap £47 one to do the job, and it does do the job, I love my home and love spending time cleaning it and having how I want so if I wanted a shark/dyson whatever the best hoover is at £300 - £400 then no we are not going to take that amount of money out of the household budget when we have a perfectly good hoover. I would either save up for it myself or yes a gift for my birthday. ( I haven’t asked for a hoover) . But then you have wealthier family’s who have the £400 spare to buy a hoover as a household purchase. As you say you needed a new TV so you brought one, we got a new TV a few months ago as ours was to small (in oh opinion) so i brought it and it’s my partners birthday present because we don’t have £500 sitting around in household budget to spend on a tv just because ours is to small. So in your opinion these arnt gifts but to others they are.

I understand the differences of opinion on gifting hoovers. I can see to some it’s a gift to others it isn’t, it’s a personal decision but what annoys me is the lack of advertising disclosure.
If you want to buy or be gifted a new hoover then do some research, the John Lewis staff and curry’s team know their stuff and will give advice.
Spending £300+ on a vacuum cleaner because someone on line who was gifted one without declaring it is stealth like advertising and an easy way for them to make money from the links.
Whether you buy it from household budget or get it as a present, you are making these people money and they don’t declare it!
They aren’t your friends and are doing a great job of selling products to you....in the meantime the great ‘gift’ debate is ignoring this issue!

@babbscrabbs that's instagram. To see real value in women sadly you have to look beyond this "bling site". It's same for man. Pretty and most likely pics from gym will get you followers. No matter what gender, insta is not about smartness, science etc.

There are so many incredible women in the world, but they might be too smart to become insta sensation imho. And lets face it microbiologist's insta profile would not do well. Unless there was a glitter around bacteria in a petri dish...

I don’t really get why people are saying she doesn’t disclose - she clearly stated when she got the new shark hoover that it was a freebie from the company - likewise she puts #aff etc on her stories, states when she is unboxing packages if it was a gift or if she bought it.
