MAFS UK Homestay Delusions, Intuition Over Insecurity and Aldi Bans a Pensioner

In this episode of “She Gets It From Me,” daughter-mother duo Ellie and Layla invite you into a week of thoughts and rantings: the mystery of our new one-star rating, MAFS homestays whiplash, and why UK supermarkets now treat us like suspects at self-checkout.

First up, MAFS mayhem. We unpack the chip-shop-flat reveal, Disney-couple energy, Steve “deleting receipts” on camera, and the eternal question: is it insecurity, Nelly, or is your intuition telling the truth?

Then we dive into TikTok’s “bad mum” discourse. We talk generational patterns, main-character mums, jealousy between mothers and daughters, and what it takes to break the chain when that was never modelled for you.

Finally, the Aldi Bootle ban and self-scan rage. A 75-year-old gets told to unload the trolley, security gets involved, and we ask why scanning your own shopping now feels like a police interview.

And if you made it to the end, we want to know one thing:

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve seen at a self-checkout, or what’s the moment your gut screamed “nope” and you actually listenedWe’d love to hear it. Email us and we’ll read the best ones next week.
