Mummy Diaries New Series 8

[Starksforthewin]

Can it really be S8?

This is my favourite ‘hate watch’! So much grasping materialism but I can’t take my eyes off it!

Anyone else watching?

Ooh thanks, I didn't realise there was a new series on!

I tried to set a thread last night and it wouldn't let me.

I see from Instagram 'baby paul' has started school. Wonder how big Paul will cope 🤣🤣

I'm so glad that after six or so years together and two children, Big Paul has now found Samanfaa to be 'wife material'. It's a 'hate watch' for me too.

Hate watch is a good name for it.
Big Paul makes my skin crawl. He's awful!

Oh god yes big Paul is just awful I can’t warm to him. I still don’t understand why he won’t propose is it a control thing?

Love to hate this. Sam is wife material now she stays home & cleans? She's pleased with this?

Somehow I didn't feel sorry for Billie, Sam or Susie when they were listing all the holidays they had missed this year, Portugal, Barbados.........

Me neither, Chottie.

They really are tone deaf, aren’t they?

I see Greg has ‘written’ a second (money spinner) ‘book’ about his children’s adventures. 🙄

I would dearly love to know how much of the proceeds go to charity, as claimed, but asking that question on IG got me blocked... I even put it to Greg that surely he would want his loyal followers to know how much they’d raised for the good cause... Nope! 😂

Don't you think Greg really married up

Looks wise, probably

Class wise, I would say they were well matched, that is, devoid of it!

I meant as in looks.

I like them. This series they seem happy. Their kids are just usual kids. At least they don't hide it. I like Paul and Greg too and they both seem to help and care about their kids.

I feel sorry for Billie & Greg getting disputes against their planning permission.
Surely the neighbours don't want it to stay the way it looks now?

But at least it is quiet!

I imagine the neighbours have seen how the Shepherds conduct themselves and are dreading the noise coming from that household.

Their current neighbours must be saints!

This is my guilty pleasure too (I watch in secret when DH is out!). So glad I have found the thread. I thought exactly the same about Big Paul - that he only wants to marry Sam when she is stuck at home cooking and cleaning for him and gushing over his new fitness regime, even though it is her earnings that facilitate his lifestyle, massive house etc.!

Pleased there's a thread!!

Yep big Paul makes my skin crawl, such a controlling odd mad. Especially when it comes to the children being away from him! All very strange.

I find Billie and Greg a lot more relatable and down to earth where as Samantha and Big Paul seem to act like they are a cut above the rest.

Another awful over the top party for Nelly tonight. I’m sure that child has six birthdays a year!

Anyone remember when Paul was born Sam was only going to give him home cooked food and the occasional treat? Hmm, all we ever see those children eat is junk and Paul is getting very fat in the face for a child his age. And the screens constantly!
Three hours after they went to bed the night before camp they were all still on screens. 🙄

I think that Little Paul & Nelly do act spoilt, as they are.

It seems that Sam always tries to be that textbook parent. Not sure if it's for show but it seems a bit ott.

Arthur is very cute.

Why did Billie and Greg rip out that kitchen. It was only the area above the hob that was damaged. Seemed like a waste of a good kitchen to me!

I agree Beanie

I’m sure they must have had it gifted or hugely discounted, promising the company they would appear on TV. So wasteful and it looked almost identical.

Also love/hate this programme!

I think Sam is a very pushy parent.

Glad little Paul had fun at summer school!

@Starksforthewin totally agree about the food! The children seem to eat nothing but junk (while watching their screens) and in the episode where they went shopping for school supplies I swear Sam was carrying round a baby bottle - Rosie is two and a half!

I still don’t understand why he won’t propose is it a control thing?

Definitely a control thing. Big Paul makes me feel really uncomfortable. Sam's desperation for his approval is horrible to watch. It was also really awkward in the episode where they discussed his weight loss and new fitness regime and it was as if she was desperate to convince everyone he now has a personality. All whilst Big Paul smiles on gormlessley

Agreed with previous post.
Billie & Greg seem far more natural together.
Paul is devoid of personality & I do believe he controls Sam to an extent. It is like she is trying to seek his approval constantly.
God knows why? I bet off camera he is a right miserable sod.
You don't see him & Greg that close do you?
Also no Paul's mum this series yet?

My guilty pleasure as well. The bits that leave me gobsmacked are the tablets whilst eating and the constant sitting on kitchen worktops. Is that normal?
