Sam Cam, Jools Oliver etc - how do they fit exercise and beauty stuff in

[Luckytohavemybaby]

Do they get lots of help? Wondering if they do their running and work outs at 5am as they seem quite hands on mums.

No-one is expecting or asking you to be jealous (envious?), MI. Merely to acknowledge the worth of SamCam's skills and career path.

I went to a colloquium last week. Crap researchers giving terrible presentations of absolutely no value. And they looked frightful too

Yes, everyone should bow down to the career path of the millionairess Viscountess/Lady Astor's daughter who um battled her way to the top of the er creative design department of a posh handbag company.

Bottom line...she has to shag David Cameron.
No envy here...

john, exactly

oh bonsoir, what a different life we lead, you went to a colloquium last week (whatever it is), I'm just off to Asda

oh well.

I know baddz, nae luck, eh

Isn't it simply that Sam Cam has excellent genes. I don't mean in the blue blooded sense but in the sense that Sam Cam's mother is Viscountess Astor who is good looking.

It's probably the same for Jools Oliver's mum: imagecollect.com/picture/jools-oliver-photo-1879679/fwro

There's only so much lotions and potions and regular rides on the bacon slicer can do.

Wow look at Jools Olivers mum - she is fabulous!

Motherinferior, give me the fabulous Mary Beard any day over (non) celebrities! I don't give a hoot what she looks like and by that I mean she's not nipped/tucked/botoxed/gym-skinny and totally self absorbed.

And I'm NOT suggesting SC and JO are. My point is, they are not ordinary mums.... Jools is married to a multi millionaire and SamCam's had a very different upbringing/life to any of us. I look shite cause I've had a hard life

I've lost who said it, but whoever posted about 'health inequality' is on it. It is harder to be fit healthy and beautiful when you are poor, and it's easier when you are rich. It's fact, it's statistically proven.

So don't be envious and argumentative. Some of the comments on here are astoundingly bitchy on both sides - caring about your appearance doesn't make you a 'hyper driven narcissistic bitch' ! And pinkfrocks speculating on posters' appearance is just unnecessary and nasty.

It's very nasty to tell a poster they are obsessed with weight because they happen to make suggestions about how to stay slim( on a thread about how someone might achieve the figure they have in a bikini.)

The thread wasn't specifically about ways to lose weight, it was asking how we thought 2 women with a few children and particularly busy husbands, as well as their own commitments, fit in exercise and a beauty routine.

Occam's razor - it's the money and the help, innit.

I dislike all this "what does she do exactly" talk about mothers, whatever their income. Some women put the career on the back burner for their family for a few years, some start it up again, some don't. Some carry on all the way through.

Samantha Cameron lost a child, became the wife of the Prime Minister and gave birth to her fourth child in the space of about a year. Absolutely if I had her resources I wouldn't be worried about taking a step back from work for a few years either.

Totally agree with your last paragraph scot

I agree with that too.

But I also disagree that my comments were about losing weight- I posted about the benefits of exercise and time management. Not weight. Answering the question 'how do they do it' ( at 5am, etc.)

Yes originally I agree they were; your comments were mostly pertinent until you commented on Cherie Blair's weight, and being slim being about controlling what you eat, that sparked word's comment and you to then speculate about her weight.

It all went a bit off topic and didn't reflect that well on anyone.

I was at school with SC. She looks a lot better now than in the school pics!

Handbags are harmless, employ lots of people (= feed and house families) and, if high end, keep skills alive in Europe. What's not to like? They are ethical business.

Hmmmm, not sure Smythson can claim to be 'ethical' exactly since moving its base to an offshore tax shelter in 2010

Crystal - on the advice of their tax lawyers, without a doubt

Python skin handbags....not exactly "ethical" either, surely.

Many of you are spot on when you make the connection between wealth and health. Sam Cam looks like she has a healthy, fit figure. That's all.

Indeed, hardly an 'ethical' business to be in not that the law is either!

soot I wonder if, in RL, women would be so touchy as they are on MN???

Let's be logical and not quite so emotional.
We are having a discussion about how a PMs wife manages to stay slim ( and yes, that was the inference of the original post.) The discussion evolved into how she does this through a personal trainer ( yes she has one) and enough money and maybe time /help to achieve her figure.

I mentioned that not all PMs wives have achieved the same thing - ie a Daily Mail 'bikini body' ( the pic was in the DM) despite being afforded the same 'support' - ie trainers, live-in grannies etc- so that SCs will power or indeed her eating habits must play a part.

How this elicited a snappy comment from WF about my being 'obsessed with weight' beggars belief.

It wasn't just WF, I said it as well. I think you doth protest too much..

My post was as a disinterested observer of that aspect of the conversation you don't seem to understand that people can post from an impartial viewpoint, not necessarily reflecting their own experience. Let's not be quite so emotional

I think on both sides in real life, yes, if someone was accused of being obsessed with weight, they would have reacted even more emotionally than you did (if that can be imagined) and also, yes, if someone in real life was asked if they were overweight because they sound defensive they would react even more emotionally than they appear to do online. HTH.
