What advice would you give Katie Price?

There is no suggestion the photograph was mocking her, we were talking about her pattern making and sewing

You totally do not understand me Maw. I absolutely was not mocking her.
I actually do admire her.
I understand what she was doing in that picture. It’s sort of postmodern. It’s also glorious in it’s daftness and perfectly executed.
So please don’t feel that I deserve a ticking off. ‘Cos I don’t

I love the pink pony costume photo FannyC and judging by the big smile so does KP!

Thanks B! As I said earlier, I love the way that Katie is holding her skirt. She also has the elegance of a dancer (not sarcastic). It’s obvious to me that she designed it

Splitting with Peter Andre was her downfall.
Don't be mistaken, I like Katie Price.
Katie started out as a Page 3 Natural beauty, but has gone on to destroy that beauty under the knife. Unfortunately, she is not as popular these days and I think that rather than rely on selling her stories to the papers, it is probably about time she got a proper job, and joined the real world, like the rest of us.

It's totally crackers, isn't it ?

All I can say I is, I couldn’t cope with the problems she has concerning Harvey. His father, who I believe earns more than the average wage, does not support his son. She cares for Harvey in whatever way a mother can in not accepting the minimum. Of course she has her faults, I am not perfect either.

the 'photo 'is from 2013 so old news.

Well said mokryna, thank you.

Chewbacca

Well said mokryna, thank you.

Ditto.
lemsip I did mention that it was an old photo upthread. You didn’t need to google it

and you don't need to tell me what I don't need to do Fannycornforth

Now now girls - play nicely or the thread will be removed!

I know, I know, I know, the last 18 months has taken a toll on all of us, we are stressed, frustrated and weary.
Please think before you post, if you can’t say anything nice, say nothing.
This snippyness is the reason people are leaving GN daily.
If we aren’t careful this attitude will stay with us.
I am very upset by the fact that even the kindest and caring of us occasionally comes back with an unkind resort.
This is spreading throughout all the threads.
May normality soon return for us all.

Good morning thread today is a prime example of my thoughts.

Good grief!
I didn’t realise that I’d cause such offence. I was merely saying that I acknowledged that it was an old photo when I posted it; and actually its age is irrelevant to the conversation.

The fact that you can’t put finger to keyboard without someone reading goodness knows what into what you say gets on my particular goat!
My previous posts were neither patronising or sarcastic.
I am not a sarcastic person. I wear my heart, thoughts and opinions on my sleeve.

However, I am sorry if I upset anyone, it certainly wasn’t my intention

As a member of mumsnet for years, I learnt that some people really could start an argument about anything. It’s a social media thing. It’s an outlet for many frustrations.
Gransnet is still very tame compared to most forums.

Good morning thread today is a prime example of my thoughts.

Hello ann
I’m sorry that you’re upset about what’s going on elsewhere on the site.
I am aware of what’s being going on, and I wanted to make clear that it’s got nothing to do with me.
It’s a bit odd that you bought it up in reference to my comments on here.
I always try to bring something to smile about into the equation. So I’m a bit perplexed.
Like I said though, annI can understand why you are disappointed by recent events.
I am too

Poor woman. Perhaps time on her own, concentrate on herself and the children, no man in your life is better than a bad one. Hope she’ll be ok.

Fanny please be assured that my post was in no way directed at you and that fact is true.
It was a general comment on the way things are going on GN.
I realise I should not have pointed to another thread, apart from being wrong it is against GN guidelines.
I am really upset over all this, I am 84 and for several years GN has been a lifesaver for me, I have experienced health problems and the slow descent into dementia and then death of my dear husband.
I could moan, unload etc on here.
I know many others have been similarly helped through awful situations.
The fact that others may not feel they can get the same help saddens me.
GN has always been a happy and mutually helpful site from illness to pets to household and marital problems.
Just the mere thought that it will not be there fills me with horror.

Oh ann that’s so sad.
I know that you weren’t directing anything at me, but I was worried that others might think that I was implicated.
(Some people don’t need any encouragement to think odd things about me!)
I do understand how you feel about the site, I came to it at just the right time last year.
The past few months have been a bit of a nightmare to be honest, and so many people here have given me so much support and friendship, and it’s also been a marvellous distraction.
Perhaps we need a few more new, long running threads.
My impression is that sometimes people want to present a facade. I’ve noticed that trying to ‘out nice’ each other has become a bit of a trend.
I hope that op doesn’t mind us hijacking this thread! I honestly don’t think that they would mind!
Please keep posting Ann. Here or elsewhere. Posts only get deleted if someone reports them, and I can’t see anyone being that mean

This thread has encouraged me to find out more about KP. In addition to her modelling and media careers KP is also a best selling author and campaigner for disabled rights. She has designed and sold clothing, cosmetics and nutrition supplements. She certainly works hard, not just sitting around on her backside waiting for the money to roll in.

Obviously I don’t understand the ins and outs, but how come someone who’s been declared bankrupt and owes, allegedly £3M, can still take so many expensive holidays?
So, to answer the OP, I’d say cut back on your lifestyle and face the music.

Hi Jacky the holidays are paid for by the cosmetic surgery people that she promotes by having various ops.
It’s all photo shoot, Instagram fodder

“Best selling author” I find it unbelievable how naive people are. No wonder these so called celebs rake it in!

tickingbird Price was always upfront that she had a ghost writer. It wasn’t a secret to her readers, so they weren’t the naive ones.
Rebecca Farnworth wrote all of her books, up until her sad death in 2014
