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?

Urghhh the big Paul / baby Paul drives me insane ! Ffs

I watched one of the episodes from the previous series, and was struck by how 'Baby' Paul seems like a completely different child. Anyone else?
In the previous series he was happy and smiley and seemed delighted at everything. This series he is clingy and miserable with a completely different personality. I wonder if the birth of Rosie has affected him this much or if he is reacting to the underlying tension between his parents?

Regarding that PP who came onto the thread to sneer at those of us discussing the show, I'm sure we all have plenty of intellectual challenges in our lives, whether at work or home, and sometimes a bit of mindless tv is invaluable for switching off. I do also like to see parenting in a different context to my own.

Tbh my DD was a dream baby until the terrible 2 stage then she turned into a nightmare. She's now 4 and I always say after her I could never go thru age 2/3 again.

I'm loving Greg this series but I do remember thinking before that he was a bit of a knob on the last series.....I have a day off today so I might re-watch some of the previous episodes to see why I thought that about Greg.

There was an ep or two where billie was pregnant with arthur and they were on holiday. Greg was there with his mates and just behaved like an overgrown child. He was taking the piss out of Billie. Staying out late. Getting hammered. That kind of thing.

I thought he was a bit of an idiot too tbh and im surrounded by that type of thing.

DBoo I’m put off with Greg behaving like that and especially at his age, he clearly hasn’t always been a good boyfriend but then whose perfect really, maybe he grew up when he became a Dad!!

Yes fortunately he seems yo have grown up. Looking forward to tonights episode.

Yes, I remember Greg behaving like that, it was in Series 1, which doesn't seem to be available, I think it was The Baby Diaries?

He was almost trying to have a lads holiday, while his pregnant wife and child just had to fit in around him! He does seem much nicer, although some of the personal things he says about Billie, I could do without. Talking about her farting or being 'looser' after having Nellie!! 😱

Greg just sounds like a typical chauvinistic pig and yes us women are looser after child birth but saying it on television is awful, maybe Billie had a stern word with him & he decided to be nicer? You’d think having only sisters & no brothers that he’d be more in touch with his feminine side...

Sam nicked their idea for her business

Whos idea? Paul did well there saying Rosie shouldnt wear anything uncomfortable.

Sue and Billie's idea!

As much as I dislike Paul he absolutely has his kids best interests at heart. Unlike Sam who seems to parade them like show ponies

Who baths their kids before Nursery?!

They seem to be making a big deal about difference in wealth (or perceived wealth) between the sisters in this episode. It’s like look at Billie doing all the normal boring stuff and here’s Sam with her lavish lifestyle

Ahh sorry was a few minutes behind. I like it when we see more of sams fun side i must say.

Yes, I wonder if ITV paid for Dubai and Maldives and perhaps Sam makes bigger demands than Billie.

I quite like that Sam shows what holidays are really like - not much different from home not getting anything done because children!

It makes me a bit sick to see Sam and Paul waste so much - buying clothes the kids won't wear, ordering too much food (that's my personal bugbear though).

Yep, taking two kids that age on such a lavish holiday is really a waste of time, let alone money.

I’m pretty sure Billie only flew economy to Maldives. I know quite ordinary people who have done that holiday. I don’t know anyone who has stayed in such a suite in Dubai, one of the most expensive cities in the world.

You know Sam though, Miss fucking perfect

The car was completely pointless seems like everything has to be a photo opportunity and theyre doing things on that basis rather than for actual enjoyment.

Ooh we are in dubai lets rent a stupid car and drive around for a day. Never been to dubai but there has got to be better things to do.

I have met both Sam & Billie several times through a previous job.

Billie is lovely! That's all I'm saying

So Sam isn’t nice then?

I think Sue & Billie know exactly what Sam is like and this is why they both go against her so much, they were quite controlling of her in the past I think & it appeared that Sam was the odd one out out of her, her mum & her sister and Sam isn’t close to her mum really, not that that means anything though but I do think they were quite controlling and tbh now I think Sam wanted away from Essex because perhaps she feels embarrassed about doing Towie, etc, etc, you must admit that she’s like a whole new person from the Towie days

Eeeeh when did Greg describe Billie as "loose"?? How awful!!! No longer fancy him.after that...

My personal highlight today was greg getting his teeth whitened and billie saying "youve got a golden smile you need a white smile"

Also... sams poor sil not even touching that cocktail cos she was pushing the pram.. wtaf? I have 2 kids same age difference as Sam, im.breastfeeding... i bloody love a good drink! One cocktail whilst playing with the kids is surely normal?? Irritated me irrationally that bit.

Anyone else notice at 6mins in pauls says how he wanted no kids or just one but Sam is always saying how they want 4 or 5 she's mental
