Original poster

unfollowed Mrs Hinch

So i originally followed Mrs Hinch when i saw her on This Morning and i thought i would be a great way of getting cleaning tips.....which originally it was. But now i think it has turned into this one big advertising campaign and what items she has been gifted.
So i have decided to unfollow her and i feel so much better for it.
What are your thoughts?

@WotchaTalkinBoutWillis - Batshit is the right word Grin

DontCallMeShitley · 09/12/2019 12:17

I looked to see what all the fuss was about and saw an obsessive woman that was trying to single handedly poison the planet with all the crap she used. And spit on the ends of toilet rolls.

I never looked again, ridiculous woman.

I’m sorry I cannot divulge anything further about the incident for legal reasons

If you're talking about Gino's record it's hardly a secret Grin

Spit on the ends of toilet rolls?!
Grin
If you're going to go on a rant at least have a clue what you're ranting about lol.
It's not spit, it's water from the tap, does this kind of print thing with the underside of the tap.
I think it looks weird and can't help thinking it'd make the roll soggy so I don't do it, each to their own though lol

I don’t follow her but I did like that fashion woman..can remember her name, she’s in Manchester..something like tropes

Good one Smile

I miss when it was all genuine reviews and bloggers and vloggers purchased things with their own money and it was unbiased without the PR boxes they now get and then everything around you is an advert. If someone can come up with a completely unbiased platform closed to advertisers again that would be great but doubt it will ever happen.

it was never all genuine..

Thesearmsofmine · 09/12/2019 13:21

I used to write blogs and when I reviewed items and was always honest. I was never a big blogger but we were sent things)and I wrote about things I had purchased myself), I never accepted things that weren’t relevant to us and if we didn’t like something I would say so, this was years ago now but I stopped because the whole thing has become so fake and people are greedy. I know a couple of people still who are genuine but many are not and I would never trust a blog/insta review these days.

It wasn't a rant, just my view of the stupid woman. I know it is meant to be water but somehow I suspect it is not always the case and let's face it, if someone is being so precious about the end of their bog roll and is sitting next to it, there is a good chance they will just use spit rather than get up to run the tap for one tiny finger sized spot. So I still say it is spit.

When I think of mrs hinch all I can think of is extreme plastic waste and chemicals. Yanbu.

PeachCupcake · 09/12/2019 13:23

I’m less Mrs Hinch and more Mrs Pinch. Can’t afford all the tat she is pushing

Sure, Jan Grin

Dowser do you mean Totes Inappropes? I used to follow her on Facebook and she was bloody hilarious.

Agree that The Frugality is a nice one to follow. Lots of practical advice. Don't feel like you're being constantly sold to. And baby Peggy is seriously cute.

It does feel wrong that whilst we're all trying to do our bit to halt destruction of the planet an 'influencer' makes a shit tonne of money pouring a chemical factory down their drain on a daily basis Confused

John1971 · 09/12/2019 14:15

OK, but don’t tell anyone. I bumped into Mrs H. in Nantwich B and Ms.
She was buying cider. She also had a small tin of paint in her basket. Matt Grey it was. Anyways, I was leaving the the store a few minutes later having bought the Wifes Christmas gift (tea towels and a dartboard - they were in the clearance section).
Anyways I could hardly believe it but just outside the main doors there stood a well know chef (burglar). He was clearly waiting for someone.

JeffreeStar · 09/12/2019 14:19

I love her! She always states it’s not paid advertising and just think She likes and recommends.

But I’ve switched off a bit lately as I can only look at so much shopping l

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 09/12/2019 14:23

You bumped into Mrs H buying cider, Gino was randomly there too, so that means he must have been waiting for her?
Maybe they were off to a party?! Grin
Love it
Sounds like an epic dream, are you sure you haven't been on the cider or matt grey paint fumes lol

John1971 · 09/12/2019 14:43

Yes, Bulmers it was. Unfortunately for legal reasons I cannot divulge what happened afterwards.
All the celebs want to do these days is flog you stuff. Philip wants you to fork out for his car insurance, Holly’s bed linen is all over Dunelms and no, I do not want a demo of Ginos chopper.

Anyway, I don’t think she particularly hides the fact she’s one big shill does she? I don’t use Instagram, but I’m aware of the main personalities (how could anyone not be) and I think she’s one of the more transparent ones with regards to the fact all her posts are basically just adverts.

What!! She's the complete opposite! One of the most dishonest people out there.. making out she's just like the rest of us, instead she's raking it in, plus not responsibly reporting when stuff is gifted or an ad. Her husband doesn't even need to work anymore. I can't wait for her accounts to come out..

Heartened that most people on here feel the same!

astralweaks · 09/12/2019 15:18

I truly thought the Zoflora stuff was a pre- WW2 cleaning thing. Confused

ShatnersWig · 09/12/2019 15:20

Aridane you said "OP is just making conversation"

Then take it to Chat rather than AIBU.

HowlsMovingBungalow · 09/12/2019 15:21

It was an old brand of disinfectant - Think Mrs H was brought in to promote same goes for those fucking minky cloth things and stardrops etc.

PooWillyBumBum · 09/12/2019 15:26

YWBU to follow her in the first place. Tacky house doused in very synthetic cleaners. Ugh.

Skinnychip · 09/12/2019 15:27

I'm not massively into cleaning but obviously I keep my house to a reasonable standard. But I cant see the appeal of watching someone else clean!! Having said this I used to watch Kim and Aggie how clean is your house but it was good to see a transformation . I don't suppose mrs hinchs house ever gets properly dirty!! However I waste enough time on other SMS so I've no need to join Instagram as well!
My DDs bedroom is grey (her choice - grey walls, grey carpet, grey bedding) but I forced encouraged her to add some colour with lampshade and cushions.
