Sam & Billie - The Mummy Diaries

[DBoo]

Omg Gaynor is an MNetter. Hello Gaynor 😁.

Just watching this now. First of all makes me mega broody!!! Secondly I really like Billie and Gregg, seem really down to earth and I know others probably won't agree but I quite like big Paul and think he's just not up for the fame thing.

Anyone else watching?

[mrssunshinexxx]

I think that picture of sam and Paul is beautiful. Does anyone else on this thread actually like them or just come on to slag off ?

I can't believe all the time, money and effort that went into a 28th birthday. Can't begin to imagine what her 30th will be like!

It was nice to see Sam stick up for Lana, but do wonder what might have happened off camera for Lana to be so upset. The bit we saw where the girl was moaning about the sofa bed didn't seem aimed at Lana.

Just seen this on instagram...

I'm in the NW and don't know anyone who refers to Manchester as 'Manny', that was so cringey.

[Quintella]

@HJWT, there's no way on earth I'd refer to my FIL as Big anything!

It would feel too sexual. 'Hey there, Big James......you want some of my......potatoes?'

Arggh!

Arthur is lovely. Has anyone else noticed that recurring mark he has on his cheek from time to time? It gets very red but then isn't there all the time, I hope he's not in any discomfort with it, he's a little darling.

[HJWT]

Its such a shame that Sam is so obsessed with everything (breastfeeding, perfect holiday pics, nicest bed for a 3 yo) but isn't concerned when it comes to car seat safety!

[HJWT]

@Quintella my DH has the same name as his dad and everyone calls him Big 'name' 😂 I call him Dad if I really have to its less embarrassing 😬😬😬

[IHaveBrilloHair]

There's constant threads on here about kids bedtime, and sleeping, I really don't think Nellie is unusual there.
I do think she puts on a bit of a performance at other times, but then she knows she's being filmed.
Wee Arthur is gorgeous, cute munch.

[Quintella]

I clench my arse cheeks in embarrassment when she refers to him as Big Paul. Imagine calling your partner/husband Big 'insert name'.

I have friends in real life with far bigger issues getting their DC to bed.

We have a very strict bedtime and DC aren't allowed back downstairs. I have really close friends that have tears and tantrums every night before their 9yo gets into their bed. It must work for them (shrug).

It was a bit silly to let her come down for potatoes and not to take her back into bed at 3am. I guess they are doing what they need to for the best night's sleep. She was asleep by 8:15 to 8:25 which isn't too bad.

[OneInAMillionYou]

Sorry but I think Nelly is ghastly. I've never known a child quite so spoilt. She is performing all the time, she needs an adult in her life who occasionally says 'no'! I hoped it might come at school but I almost think it is too late now.
The constant consumerism makes me feel ill, the sheer number of toys and birthday presents. She couldn't care less the last time they showed her at Build A Bear. (Awful bloody place anyway!)
The refusal to go to bed and stay there 🙄

In its favour, at least the programme shows the bad bits and doesn't whitewash them out.

We haven't seen much of Gaynor for a while, have we?

[Sassenach85]

Actually you are right, I hadn't noticed before but he seems more normal when away from her. I would hazard a guess that's his persona to not look weird in the world with "other people". I would bet the way he is with Sam is the real him. Possessive and controlling and weird. I mean- she panders to all of those things so he obv feels happy being a knob when he's with her? He's a grown man! He KNOWS if he acted the same infront of Greg that he would be ripped to shreds for being out of order.

[vjg13]

Paul comes across better in any scene not involving Sam! He is so overly possessive of Little Paul, saying he'll go to nursery with him

[SparkofJoy]

I quite like Nellie. At least they are showing it warts and all. Little kids are naughty sometimes.

Not keen on Sam, her tits and Paul.

[lotusbell]

@HJWT, I know, stupid autocorrect!!

[HJWT]

@lotusbell you corrected your self wrong I think you mean Nelly 😉 haha xx

[lotusbell]

*Belly, obviously!

[lotusbell]

Can just about recognise Sam, but Billie is so different! Never watched TOWIE as I can't get on with the accent at all so never really knew what they looked like back then. Billie is by no means big in that pic but she must've now lost half her body weight! Big Paul's neediness is uncomfortable to watch, it's nice he us so devoted to his kids, but he needs to let Baby Paul loose! Also, I used to really enjoy Nelly's funny sayings and ways particularly that she said off camera she couldn't make tea, only cups of coffee but now it's like they've all seen how much the fans love her and have started to push her to the camera. That trailer where they had Belly pretending to direct the girls and her mock pouting THEN the end bit where she screamed at Paul about the squirrel was awful. Not funny, not cute, just brattish. Other scenes, particularly about her starting school have shown her to be much quieter and almost shy.

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

MaHeidsGouping totally agree, Ferne “life so hard as a single mum” McCann, gets more down time than any mum with a partner! In fact all of them constantly saying how they haven’t had a girls holiday since having kids and they don’t get to go out often...sorry but you go out and have time alone all the time, all your mums just baby sit constantly !

[Flobochin]

How tacky was where they stayed, corrugated boarding and graffiti atthe entrance.

[Okokokok]

What is with the cringey matching pyjamas for all the women? Also all having to have their hair and make up done by a make up artist before their night out... I would be bored stiff waiting for everyone to get ready. They are so bothered how everything looks all the time. Don't get me started on Ferne... she is just awful.

[Studentnurse1981]

Sorry but the latest series comes across as desperate

[MiniCooperLover]

I feel that Billie & Greg are the more natural couple, bickering and all as that's part of life but Sam hates the camera showing the kids tantrums, let alone their ones.

[MaHeidsGouping]

Ferne McCann gets around, she makes out on her programme that life is all so hard being a single mum with Sunday but on Sam and Billies programme she has been to a fair few of their parties.

Nellys bedtime is the exact same as my 5yr old so I feel better now .
