In fact they did share in a recent on line article that they lived in a "ginormous" former doctor's surgery in Ramsgate. There is only one...

The front of the house is absolutely gorgeous. How much would a house like that cost?

I'm amazed they share so much. They are crazy/arrogant.

It is crap living in a house that you can't afford to heat though.

Fruitbowl2 · 12/03/2018 20:19

Isn't that just thermostat wars? I'm sure they could just turn the heating up?

As mentioned previously, I'm assuming a hints hinty stories coming up for flooring/underfloor heating like the cringy washer/dryer episode.

Fruitbowl2 · 12/03/2018 20:21

Doesn't it seem like they're all doing it now? Wasn't Clemmie Telford hinting today and a couple of weeks ago she wanted holiday recommendations sponsorship

I'm not sure these 'mamas' are that bright.

magickingdom82 · 12/03/2018 20:43

Yes and how come I and everyone I know is a mum but they are all goddamn f'in mamas grrr

ABuckToothedGirlinLuxembourg · 12/03/2018 20:47

I was wondering how you feel about constant promoting of their own products, I had to unfollow a blogger that was repeatedly flogging her book, it was relentless. Every day book book book. I do get that there’s going to be some promotion on their feeds, but every single day? How much is too much?

Fruitbowl2 · 12/03/2018 20:52

Ha ha yes why are they mamas?!

I (need to get a life) but do play spot the sneaky promo. FOD did quite a nice Mother's Day thing but quite randomly, I thought, mentioned various 'inspiring' women. Next thing, those kids' books with inspiring women pop up in his stories. It's all very clunky.

Fruitbowl2 · 12/03/2018 20:54

They probably are contracted to promote their book, so they'll be advised (told) how often to mention it.

Fruitbowl2 · 12/03/2018 20:55

Not Mother's Day - IWD

@Fruitbowl2
your obsession with analysing every detail of MOD/FOD lives is quite something. How do you know she doesn't support her local community? How do you know how much it costs to heat the house? How do you know how much she paid for it?

But really why do you care so much?

WipsGlitter · 12/03/2018 21:08

There's quite a funny ultimate girl gang who does afternoon wine tasting. Don't think it's sponsored!

Fruitbowl2 · 12/03/2018 21:08

Sorry, while I'm on a roll (watching subtitled crime drama) does anybody else find the frequent pics of the twins crying on FOD's feed upsetting? Like the one this evening? I really dislike them.

allaboardtheallergybus · 12/03/2018 21:12

Fruitbowl2

There you go again, it's just baffling.

Fruitbowl2 · 12/03/2018 21:13

I'm just a bit bored, allergy. And read a few of the threads.

  1. MOD has never mentioned any local business in Thanet online as far as I'm aware.
  1. I merely shared the house info in the spirit of interiors info because people constantly mention it.
  1. The article (that was deleted) said how much the house cost.
  1. I have no idea how much their house costs to heat, a lot?
Fruitbowl2 · 12/03/2018 21:15

Why is it baffling allergy? People have been tackling BG for over 100 pages about instamums and particularly MOD/FOD and MD.

I like MD.

Fruitbowl2 · 12/03/2018 21:15

MP.

allaboardtheallergybus · 12/03/2018 21:19

I follow MOD and have seen her mention in stories or posts that she has used a local picture framers, goes to a local church hall play group, bought a vintage table from a local junk shop and I think she once asked for a carpenter in Kent and a dentist recommedation.

Maybe there are alot more local businesses she uses but probably doesn't want to tag/name every single place she uses in her area because people like you will then go online and discuss her life on this thread.

Sharperthanasharpie · 12/03/2018 21:22

I don’t know why we keep ending up talking about MOD on this thread because she’s pretty transparent now. I’d rather the thread focused on other bloggers and brands that don’t disclose tbh.

Fruitbowl2 · 12/03/2018 21:24

Very detailed from you allergy....

I stand corrected.

I look forward to thesmall business roundup including thanet businesses.

easypeasylife · 12/03/2018 21:24

fruit their dc's are adorable but they rarely look happy. It is really lovely to see a pic of them smiling as it doesn't seem to happen often.

allaboardtheallergybus · 12/03/2018 21:27

@Sharperthanasharpie
agreed, I saw up thread that MOD came on here and talked about disclosure and transparency good on her for facing the tricky questions, it can't be easy.

@Fruitbowl2
I suggest finding something more gripping on tv to watch than to obsess over another person's life

Yep, these threads are about calling out IGers who aren't transparent, not a platform for personal likes/dislikes......
