Mrs Hinch showing off house renovations

224 replies

ItsMeRhondaFromPS129 · 30/03/2022 14:51

First off, I'd like to say yes I am a bit jealous as I really wish I wasn't worrying and stressing about the increasing heating bills etc. but seeing Mrs Hinch showing off the full downstairs underfloor heating she's having fitted just now is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I'm having a late lunch having some soup and wrapped in a hoodie AND a hoodie blanket as I've had to switch off my heating during the day to save money and keep it at bare minimum in the evenings.

I just feel she should be a bit mindful that loads of her followers might be feeling a bit crap about it with the increase in bills etc.

Don't get me wrong, it's great she can afford to do it and her new house is lovely, but I just think she should be thinking twice about posting updates of all the expensive work she's having done! I have since muted her stories so I can't see them lol!

I'm also curious to know how much the full mutual in Rons room cost lol!

YABU - get a grip, the energy bills crisis is not that big a deal

YANBU - she should maybe think twice before posting.

I think my issue is more that I resent people who post a few photos on instagram making millions out of it when the truely important people in our society arent remotely recognised.

You're not wrong there, and I'm not a fan of a lot of social media culture. But the idea of pop singers and footballers earning zillions while nurses earn a pittance (and NHS doctors don't earn much for what they do) isn't new.

Shgytfgtf111 · 14/07/2022 14:54

No it isnt new you are bang on, I think I feel it is rubbed in people's faces more with social media than before social media became so popular.

I don’t like how sales of Zoflora went through the roof (partly) because of her. Why promote something so toxic to wildlife? Because she’s too thick to notice would be my very blunt reply!

She’s got lousy, chavvy taste and she’s made a huge amount of money from cleaning and terrible decor. I don’t understand it at all.

You're right but I think that with online celebrities, there is an element of jealousy because they are often young people making the money rather than old white men in suits.

It is strange that someone has monetized cleaning and people watch cleaning content. I don't mean "how do I remove X stains" sort of queries which is something I would search for

Lousy taste often sells. Good taste is often prohibitively expensive...and anyway, it can't exist without lousy taste.

GoodJanetBadJanet · 14/07/2022 22:49

Shes changed definitely, I unfollowed recently because the constant brags, Ads and boring animal posts
Aw, I love her alpacas and seeing what they're up to! 😍😁 It's kind of peaceful watching them run around lol.
Brags? Not sure what you mean by that.
I don't see her new house, her renovations and purchases as brags, I just love seeing it being done up.
I love Mrs H's new home and what's she is doing to it. I can't afford it, never will but I don't frown or hate what she has
Same, will never afford it either but love to see it.

How wealthy are you? I mean that politely but how capable are you of reaching her level of earnings? Are you there? Do you feel your lack of comprehension is possibly linked in some small way to why you can’t earn millions.

but you call her thick when you yourself can’t achieve it? Do you see the issue there and can you grasp it?

MrsDThomas · 14/07/2022 23:06

Shes made millions off the back of people who thinks she is the only person to clean.

everyone who follow her who buys her tat from tesco, owns every cleaning product in home bargains and puts a vase of flowers on their kitchen hob are bloody bonkers!

zoflora was in use bloody years before her granny was born and now everyone uses it because of her

the mind boggles. Really does.

dont bother with her likes.

I’ll give you the flowers on the kitchen hob but I certainly wouldn’t call bedding, glasses and mugs from Tesco tat. Everyone needs those. Similarly everyone needs cleaning stuff. What you buy is up to you. For someone who “doesn’t bother with her likes” you seem to know a lot about her. I can’t get that worked up. I used to buy flash but now spend a fraction of the price on pink stuff so she’s saved me money.

scorpiogirly · 15/07/2022 10:47

I honestly don't know how she got where she is. Her cleaning tips are just general common sense and have been for years!

MrsDThomas · 15/07/2022 13:20

@coolbottlesummer because my friend idolises her, plus shes over Instagram. Hinch tag for this hinch tag for that . 😡

mydogsteppedonabee · 16/07/2022 09:39

She just never seems genuine.
That bull crap story about her delivery driver arriving at 5:30am was ridiculous.
She's terrible at lying and covering her tracks. There's nothing genuine or real about her.
When she advertises cosmetic products she uses a filter so it's completely false advertising.
In my view she's had her 15 mins. She's achieved a lot but longevity is definitely not amongst her list of achievements!

mydogsteppedonabee · 16/07/2022 09:41

Some of you have made reference to her 'bot' accounts. She's now hidden her followers list. Like what is she trying to hide??

I’m a bit sick of this attitude. Not everyone is struggling - that’s a fact of life and you can’t expect them to crawl away and hide out of shame. YABU

OP said she should think twice about posting expensive work she’s having done 🤡 why should she? 🤡 it’s not her problem that others can’t afford it 🤡

mydogsteppedonabee · 20/07/2022 15:21

If she were honest and authentic then I don't think people would get annoyed.
She makes up the most ridiculous stories when she could just tell the truth.
She had a story once where she said Ronnie spoke to a man on a bus or something.. can't remember the detail. Then months later she told her followers that he couldn't talk and was in speech therapy.
She has also dubbed over videos to make it look like he's talking.
She took a video and put it in reverse to make his motor skills look better than they are.
She filters the hell out of everything to create a totally unrealistic, unachievable view of her life which inevitably leads to her followers feeling inadequate, and spending their money on her tat in the process.
I'll never understand how she got so popular.
I'm sure she's a lovely girl but a role model for women she ain't.

GoodJanetBadJanet · 20/07/2022 15:32

a role model for women she ain't.
Has she ever claimed to be?! 😕
which inevitably leads to her followers feeling inadequate, and spending their money on her tat in the process.
I enjoy watching her stories, and apart from discovering Zoflora and Pink Stuff and buying some of them, I haven't walked arms outstretched zombie like towards B and M as Mrs Hinch for loads of stuff as she's brainwashed me into doing so 😂
You could say that about any adverts or things you see that other people have online.
Personal responsibility has to kick in somewhere.

ReneBumsWombats · 20/07/2022 15:52

Why do well-known women have to be role models?

That she pays for followers. It's embarrassing.

PinkButtercups · 20/07/2022 17:41

Can't stand her.

Sets dangerous examples, gets warned, swiftly deletes posts without telling her followers why such thing is dangerous and they still carry on doing said dangerous thing without realising. I mean common sense is all it is for a lot of it but some people are so obsessed in what she does they'll just follow like sheep anyway.

TheWelshposter · 21/07/2022 13:35

She's a salesperson with the branding of everything, such as "Hinch Farm", which isn't actually a farm, just a large house and garden.

I can't understand the popularity and why a lot of followers "cry with joy" when she posts her children doing something. She has posted things like "you are loved by millions Ronnie" and has shown pictures of him on the toilet. Using her children to make money.

Lampzade · 21/07/2022 18:28

I don’t get the fuss tbh. She has never been of interest to me. She is just another influencer trying to make money. That is her job
If people don’t like that all they have to do is stop following her
