I suspect her dog has never eaten poo, or at least hasn’t been caught doing it.

loolooskip · 17/01/2019 00:09

Good grief. I actually feel sorry for her. Doesn't look like her followers are the brightest crayons in the box.

WhyDontYouComeOnOver · 17/01/2019 00:14

Why's that, looloo? I have three degrees and am doing my PhD, so I'm pretty "bright".

ImNotReallyAWaitress · 17/01/2019 00:59

So if we don’t like things about her we have not to watch her and not to talk about her...
but you don’t like what’s said here yet you still come here and berate us for having different opinions... got it!

I really don’t get why people get so worked up over words on a screen - people are always going to have different preferences. If you can’t cope with that it’s time to develop a thicker skin or get off the internet. It’s the nature of the beast.

I’m guessing none of the hinch defenders in here have seen what gets discussed on the tattle thread about her 😂

loolooskip · 17/01/2019 01:23

@ImNotReallyAWaitress Ha! Grin

WhyDontYouComeOnOver · 17/01/2019 07:53

If that was aimed at me, I think I've always said that people are entitled to like what they like, and it's perfectly understandable that some don't like Instagrams about cleaning.

However, to make nasty, personal comments about someone you don't even know, putting them down for doing something they enjoy, berating their appearance, personality etc. Well that isn't having an opinion. That's being something that I can't say or I'll have my comment deleted.

And someone above said her followers aren't the "brightest". It's pretty unintelligent to be so aggressively abusive about a stranger on the internet. As I've said, I'm not a "Hincher" and I don't watch much of her stuff, but she doesn't deserve the nastiness.

I've just had a look. You seem quite proud of that statement - that's a little messed up, don't you think? To be proud to be a part of something that involves writing pure nastiness about another person? Very strange.

pantyclaws · 17/01/2019 10:54

The vast majority of posts - certainly in the latter part of this thread have been about her overuse of products and the potential impact of that, can we focus on those rather than the one or two about her house/face?

I'm genuinely concerned about the trend for over clean homes though

@whydontyoucomeonover

No it wasn’t aimed at you but if the shoe fits...

it all seems a bit playground-ish, I honestly can’t see how saying you don’t like how someone’s house looks is bullying them?
It’s not like people went and took pics and put them up to slate them, she’s actively choosing to put herself and her house out there.
There’s always going to be someone that doesn’t like you no matter what you do. If you choose to go actively seek out content where people are expressing differing opinions then whine about it to get other people on the attack then it would seem the internet isn’t the best place for you.

Also at no point did I state that I was proud of a site - I don’t even post on it I just read it from time to time.
My point was around the fact the barmy hinch army are getting their knickers in a bunch over fairly inoffensive posts here when there’s far worse out there they’re seemingly not bothered over.
In other words stop making MNers out to be the big bad villains.
If you choose to twist that into something to fit your own narrative then whatever, that’s on you.

WhyDontYouComeOnOver · 17/01/2019 13:40

Waitress - I have said above that what she does isn't to everyone's tastes. Perhaps you missed that part. Disliking something is fine. Going out of your way to make awful comments about a person is not.

barmy hinch army

So you're literally calling people mentally ill. I think it's clear that I'm not twisting anything here. My own narrative is don't be horrible to a stranger on the internet. You're fitting into the people I'm talking about perfectly.

ImNotReallyAWaitress · 17/01/2019 14:24

@whydontyoucomeonover

You’re seriously reaching to turn everything into the worst possible narrative.
The sole definition of barmy is not someone who is mentally ill, it also means foolish and in this case yes I think it’s foolish to go all SJW for someone you don’t even know.

Majority of content here has been on the original topic which is using too many chemicals - something she undeniably does!

loolooskip · 17/01/2019 15:07

@WhyDontYouComeOnOver

Why am I here? Entertainment when I'm particularly ill and now an again an attempt to make some see how appalling their behaviour is.

Otherwise known as being a gf. That's why you're on mn? To laugh at people or be judge and jury? Nice. Hmm

WhyDontYouComeOnOver · 17/01/2019 15:24

To laugh at people? Where on earth did you get that from? You seem to be following me round today, telling me why I'm such a terrible person when I'm merely saying that others shouldn't be so horrible about strangers. I'll include you in that.

Also, now and again means... Just that.

Lastly, ODFOD Smile

loolooskip · 17/01/2019 15:38

Is was on another thread where you were also goading people. Hardly following you.

Pachyderm1 · 17/01/2019 15:41

This thread is on the brink of extinction and honestly that would be the best thing for it 🐍

hellabellabluebell · 17/01/2019 15:55

I'm dying to know where all of her stuff is. Like normal things you have in your house like books and photo frames and general bits and pieces. The whole house just looks like a catalogue. WHERE IS ALL THE STUFF?!

OhFlipMama · 17/01/2019 16:06

I used zoflora not long ago and chose a lavender one because that's a scent I usually love. It was awful, everything stank of chemical for days.

WhyDontYouComeOnOver · 17/01/2019 16:20

Baskets, hella 😂

TheSuperBitch · 17/01/2019 19:25

I wonder how much these people get paid by the likes of Zoflora Confused

GloatyMcGloatface · 18/01/2019 07:15

Well I have just looked at her IG. She used the word 'delish' in a post.

JonahPlusWhale · 19/01/2019 19:30

Does anyone else feel so bad for any followers who are having trouble conceiving or have lost a baby? It's so much baby spam! Maybe I'm too sensitive to it though Blush

GlitterStick · 19/01/2019 20:50

Oh, I don't get that argument, sorry @JonahPlusWhale. I've heard it before on social media, usually in the context of FB not IG though.
Do people just not post anything, ever, in case it upsets someone?
That's what social media is for, surely. Updating about yourself. Whether it be baby related or something expensive you've just bought.
If you're affected by somebody's baby updates, or purchases as you're skint and wish you could afford, you step away.
People shouldn't have to hide away their lives because some may feel jealous.

Haworthia · 19/01/2019 20:52

I don’t think that’s fair either. She had a life threatening episode of DVT a few months back and was diagnosed with a blood disorder. This pregnancy is high risk and she’s being overseen at a London hospital instead of her local hospital. She’s also self-injecting blood thinners daily.

So no, I don’t think baby spam is disrespectful to anyone. They can unfollow anyway.

Cleaning as a hobby to squee over and document online?

No ta.
