You can get bee's wax from your local beekeeper so you can make scented bee's wax candles when a friend comes to visit.

Prices advice no one ever will follow.

Is this for real?

Just pop down to your 'local beekeeper', which everyone has, to make a candle in advance of a friend's visit?

Personally I'd rather just get the Jo Malone knockoffs in Aldi. But that's just unelevated me.

AtIusvue · 04/03/2025 14:08

Urgh shes baking shortbread wirh edible flowers.

Now the crepes.

It’s all just merching.

Episode 1.

I will probably get no further than that.

No!

You make that candles with your friend, for a personal touch! She didn't specify whether it's before of after getting trolled on Prosecco. Her friends are not like mine...

tut tut!

It's I'll such twaddle! 🙄

MrsLeonFarrell · 04/03/2025 14:13

The Daily Mail article has a poll about the show. The queuing was did you like it:
Yes 2%
No 32%
Didn't watch 66%

when I clicked. This may be a problem, she needs views, of any kind, but at the moment are people watching it? Maybe this evening.

I have no words 😵‍💫

have you clicked on the link to her ig on the home page?
I'm on about a 2 out of 10 on the whelmed scale

jeffgoldblum · 04/03/2025 14:15

Well at least she hasn't shoehorned the visits to the fires in ! 👍

AtIusvue · 04/03/2025 14:15

Her shortbread is woefully underbaked.

Shes now bagging up the biscults. Does anyone remember the Rowan Atkinson scene in Love actually? when he’s wrapping up the gift. Exactly like that.

Shes putting the biscuits with edible flowers into little bags, then she’s tying with a bow. She’s then dashed out to the garden to add lavender to the bag.

I hope she remembers to inform the others not to eat the lavender, like she did with the harvest baskets. Because people will sauté them in pasta otherwise won’t they Meg. Although in fairness she does live with Harry, I’m sure she’s probably had to have a discussion about urinal cakes.

MajorBryantIsAnArse · 04/03/2025 14:17

I admit freely that I am a total sucker for a lifestyle blog and youtube video and have even been known to buy merch (cough cough- anyone remember Cherry Menlove? I bought her books and a fair bit of her merch and really had alot of enjoyable moments trying to emulate her lifestyle).

But this is too much even for me.

Vespanest · 04/03/2025 14:17

I cannot understand how it got through editing, surely even Netflix who have invested would have some sort of constructive criticism. This was the area I was hoping for some sort of success to break the cycle.

TheSecondMrsCampbellBlack · 04/03/2025 14:17

OMG those reviews (helpfully collated by the Daily Mail) are coruscating!

Quite rightly, I'm sure. Very funny too.

AtIusvue · 04/03/2025 14:18

Guests have arrived! Hurrah! and she’s furiously sifting icing sugar like she’s possessed by the ghost of Fanny Craddock.

AtIusvue · 04/03/2025 14:20

Meg gives thanks to the guests for ‘loving her so much’

If I click the link on her IG page it just takes me to a blank page now!

Daily Mail link, so click it or not as you wish, of course. I really like Craig Brown's writing and this amused me.

BusyTraybake · 04/03/2025 14:21

I really didn’t get the ‘Mama Meals’ thing. I just though not everything needs a label

AtIusvue · 04/03/2025 14:21

Thank fuck that’s over.

Im not even hungry. What does that tell you?

TheNinkyNonkyIsATardis · 04/03/2025 14:22

If anyone is too pressed for time to make their own candles, I warmly recommend all products from here: https://www.chainbridgehoney.com/shop/

I have a lip balm from there since 2012, it's that good. I did once share it with a friend.

I’m going to have a lie down in a dark room.

Will catch up on the reviews and As ever gossip later.

MonteShitshow · 04/03/2025 14:24

Reading all the updates, I’m reminded of the thread somewhere that discussed the most incredible feeling ever, where most of the responses mentioned mahoosive post partum poos.

I suspect reaching the end of the last episode might well feel like this… successfully passing the most prickly, long-winded turd ever.

From the bottom of my constipated heart, thank you for taking one for the team @AtIusvue

Stickystickysticky · 04/03/2025 14:24

Can anyone make the link work , or has the work experience kid running the website cocked up again!
