She could have unscrewed the light switches and put them in the drawer with all the knobs.definitely not an unlikely scenario at allā¦.
Personally I HATE unscrewing lightbulbs (when they have blown, not when Iām fake povving). Iām always scared they will smash as they are delicate little fuckers and never seem to come out that easily.
Surely an easier method is to tape the light switch off instead? Doesnāt read as well though does it..

Taking lightbulbs in and out makes it more likely they will āblowā and need replacing.
It would be easier to put a piece of tape over a light switch.

One of the most ridiculous (fictional) chaoi with something for everyone - sadfishing! plucky smol pixie! trauma! press and fame! I RENT! forever hydrangeas! Help me Iām poor! Invisible axes! etc etc as captured in ss by @kachoochoo and beautifully summarized by @Marmalade Atkins as
I hadnāt seen that before (amazed there is still new idiocy). Apart from anything else, that loft hatch is clearly over a chest of drawers or cabinet. Unless her bed is so close to it, she canāt open the drawers, nothing falling out of that hatch is landing on her bed.
Does she think people donāt have eyes?
It's just so ridiculous isn't it? Also all the bollocks about replacing the lights with crap garden solar lights.
Cost to run a low wattage light bulb for a year: <Ā£5.
She clearly just says it because it sounds like something a Real Poor would do.

OMG the colour of the water those flowers are in! 
that must absolutely reek. Lazy skanky mare.
I'd never seen this before either.
Basically a piece of balanced wood slightly moved, but didn't fall down? Is that it?
I put a shopping bag on the worktop yesterday. Window wasn't open but I did use the door. Came back in and it had shifted over a few inches. Would this be something which needs an exorcism or could I just fold it up and put it back in the drawer? Should I tweet to ask?
Today's Wordle is a good one.
OMG the axe/saw chaos. I loved this one.
What is she like honestly
Iām cringing all over again for her.Why would you bother. Rock it left, right, forward, back. Hole slightly expands, sign pulls out. Why would you want to try and get a hand saw (!) at an angle to cut it flush to the floor. A hand saw would also never cut flush to the floor as the handle and your knuckles would be in the way. You'd then have to dig the remaining 6" out with a shovel. With absolutely no leverage.OMG the axe/saw chaos. I loved this one.

Even the stuff she says she does is truly a mind blowing logic vacuum.
If you were able to tell any story you wanted, surely it would be that you pulled it straight out with your bare, self proclaimed gnarly, hands? Gently, carefully, soul destroyingly, hopefully, restlessly, pulled it out.
Since when does she wash and iron *anything*? Including baggage she has unpacked.

Painstakingly. You missed painstakingly!!
Sorry. I was trying to imply she just whipped it out in 5 mins, but on reflection I should have made it a full day's work for accuracy.Since when does she wash and iron *anything*? Including baggage she has unpacked.

But us Real Poors don't do that.... Cos we don't even have electrickery ffs!
And hereās one of her dramas I could elevenerife the tit out of. In mine it was a 100yr old terraced house connected to a gunshot/ death by misadventure case and was like living through an episode of Hammer House Of Horror, but the root cause was the same: winter storms causing negative pressure in the attic and rattling the loft hatch out of its frame.
I love how one squig immediately says what everyoneās thinking - just push it back with a stick, genius!
(In my case it was āOh, so thatās why some previous tenant had lashed it closed with screws and stringā)
Gives a great excuse for the dirty nails as well so she really missed a trick thereā¦
As you can tell, I am trying very hard to procrastinate on today's jobs! But, the more we move through the threads over the years, the less anything she says stands up to even the most basic scrutiny, let alone the forensic nature of the canal. It is mind-blowing really. I'm waiting for some muppet to come along and engage her in a showmance next.... Or so she will try to tell us...... And how we shall laugh. Again. And again.
The only house on her street that sold around this time was a 3-bed bungalow in December 2020, for Ā£685,000.
So much poor
