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?

It's interesting hearing other people's opinions on what's going on. When Paul was going on about the potty trainer I thought it was because he was wondering why they needed one. Billie will have recently potty trained Nelly so they will have some experience and someone to give advice I would think. Thats all I thought was Paul's problem but now you say that I'm wondering different. Feel like I need to watch it a few times.

My dp lives in joggies unless there's a wedding I don't actually mind it quite common where we live not essex.

Yes I bet baby Paul is shattered hence so much tantrumming a routine would probably do him good. I noticed about his party clothes too as there was another little boy sat on a ride on in the type of clothes baby Paul used to wear and I thought it was him at first until it shot off to where he actually was.

Ooo have just seen this thread!

I found the last series a bit annoying to watch, with Sam banging on about her homemade fresh organic baby foods and doing everything "right", quite like that now Paul doesn't fit in with the role now he is in terrible twos!

Find this series v uncomfortable watching Sam & Paul though she seems so desperate to keep it together and he seems to do as he pleases, like the scene when she kept telling him it was getting late and Paul needed bed then Big Paul ignores and BP not asleep until late. Then it cuts to Sam playing it down telling the camera that its what works for them as a family blah blah when its clear Big Paul just couldn't give a shit what she thinks!

Trich is the hair pulling not the std!!! She was very open about it couple years back.

Did anyone else think it came across on the first ep that Sam purposely got pregnant? The last series she said she didn't want any more until they married, but wanted a big family. He is still yet to propose and I just didn't buy the "I thought I couldn't get pregnant breastfeeding" especially given she seemed so clued up on breastfeeding and Paul would not have been feeding much by then/beginning weaning off?

I noticed too! - wee boy in pale blue on a ride along toy.

Yeah when her personal trainer went round she made a comment about Sam eating relatively healthy and Sam said yes it's all organic. I thought that doesn't mean you eat a healthy diet lol.

I also think she was trying to get pregnant. There's nothing wrong with that as long as Paul was in on it too.

Is she not capable of doing anything I.e potty training without a "expert". Most people just get on with it. Or is it just for the cameras and showing everyone how much money she has that she can afford to get other people to do her parenting for her?

I reckon it's probably a deal with the experts that come in e.g. makes Sam looks good and raises their profile like when Annabel karmel was on it. I guess Sam will be quite influential to you mams.

Yeah the producers will be inviting the "experts" in, I can imagine when they are at home there is not much to film other than Sam pandering to Big Paul and Baby Paul.

I much prefer the "banter" between gregg and billie. Will still watch next week but have lost interest in Sam...

I agree Paddy it must be paid for to pad out the Sam & Paul segments, also wonder whether it is to cause some conflict/drama between Sam & Paul to get press attention.

Hopefully Super Nanny will feature next season .

That would be classic
I only watch for Gregg and Billie now, I'm beginning to get a bit of a crush on him

I feel so sorry for baby Paul being dragged to the super noisy football (I've done Little Kickers and it's always noisy). He was clearly scared and over whelmed and I've lost even more respect for both Sam and Big Paul for the way they snapped. Yes it's hard when they're upset and not cooperating but let him be 2. He'd have prob loved it if he was 3, but he's barely 2 😟

Yes i thought the other little boy was Paul!

Can't believe he's still in the "egg" pram either as they are bloody tiny! I had the oyster and ds was out of it before 18 months!

Irritates me how baby Paul is always just wandering around in s vest too.. sams all immaculate and the toddler isn't even dressed!

The potty training thing just seems ridiculous when Sam has someone very close to her who has recently potty trained a child, her sister who is also on the show!

I also noticed the vest thing, and no nappy either but then I get that lots of toddlers don't like wearing clothes, Dd was the opposite and hated being undressed.

Nellie looking like the sweetest thing ever after her 98755 hour flight to the Maldives. My god that kid is SO cute.

Plus Greg is a hoot and I was actually wetting myself laughing at the assault course. Arthur is such a cute bunny. What a lovely family

Sam ugh. Big Paul ugh. Baby Paul tell your parents to chuff off making you do all those things that you don't want to do. Next week baby Paul gets his level II in bread making and tattooing

Leave the TWO YEAR OLD alone.

I like watching the show, and I really like Billie and Greg; their kids are just scrummy!

However does anyone else just spend the whole time thinking just how bloody lucky Billie and Sam are having the vast wealth that they have when they haven't done anything apart from appear in a reality series. Neither have any talents that I know of. I'm sure it was a case of being in the right place at the right time when they were initially cast in TOWIE. I know they both have successful businesses too now but really those businesses have done well because of the TOWIE connection.

How much wealth do they actually have though, and how long will it last?
Sam's house is rented for one.

According to articles online they're worth about 4 million each so I'd say they're fairly wealthy.

I thought that Sam had bought that big house? They were renting a temporary home in the last series.

Just had a google and she did apparently buy the mansion for 2.9 million! 😯

"Big" Paul seems to resent being in it and he needs to get out more. I am very surprised they haven't launched a 'PK' baby range. The dynamic between Sam and Paul is odd even if he is shy, he seems totally disengaged. Billie and Greg come across really well and more genuine.

Oh, I read it was Niall Horan's house!

The way I understood it is that they were renting Niall's house last year when they were deciding whether to move to LA or not, but then decided to stay in the UK and bought the house they have now.
