I see the writing's going well.

And I'm probably going to mute her today, I've had 3 hours' sleep due to a SEVERE migraine and am in no mood to read 4,528 tweets about Ouchy Mouth Drama Season 3.

Surely even the densest of the squiggles must be waking up to the fact that every single day brings a new drama or ailment? Characters in soaps don't suffer as much misfortune as Jack.

She'd be better going to the dentist and getting her teeth sorted. It's not normal to have toothache all the time. I am about the same age as her and the only time my teeth have ached was when I grew my wisdom teeth.

I'm 2 threads behind atm but have just seen the "toothache". Does she actually know what tootache is? As far as I'm aware, you don't get toothache from "chewing on your lip". Sure that would hurt but it's miles away from real toothache. Is she just being totally thick and overly dramatic? (It's Jack, of course she is. Why am I even questioning this?)

The news this morning, 19 million dental appointments missed due to C19, difficulty of getting appointments etc. ,especially NHS, so not affordable for many.

Probably just a coincidence that this is an Ouchy mouth day.

You’d think with BB back, Jack would limit the chaos, but in the week (?) she’s been back we’ve had weekend splinter chaos, midnight shin chaos, and now ouchy mouth chaos. It must be exhausting to live with.

Wright says that the signs of a scam are genuinely unique to each case, but there are some general tells. When someone is blogging about a legitimate illness, she notes — even in the most extreme cases — there are days of tedium: lying on the couch binge-watching Netflix or sitting on the porch, a weary face turned to the sun. “Constant drama is a big red flag,” she says. “[In legitimate illnesses,] every day is not this big dramatic roller coaster, where you have a bone marrow transplant one day and the next day your cousin dies in a car crash and the next day the dog runs away and the house burns down. With the scammers, every day is sweeps week.”

A book that costs at least £20+ and she has two copies of. A book that, for the less well off cancer patients in my hospital, they photocopy requested recipes for the patients after they have had a browse, whilst they sit there on chemo drips.

I know we all have our red lines when it comes to Jack...some it’s the Veganish grift, others the cat cruelty, yet more the appropriation of mental health issues and diagnoses. For me, it’s always going to come down to her twatting about with cancer. It really isn’t something to appropriate - in fact, I would wager it’s her most disgusting cap she pops on from time to time.

I would never do it, of course because she genuinely isn’t worth it, and certainly not worth the petrol, but I am sorely tempted on occasion to go down, knock on her door and show her some pictures of my beloveds weight loss, explain how the chemo ruins appetite, the mouth ulcers that require specialist treatments and mouthwash. The teeth issues from vomiting and struggling to brush teeth properly. Fighting the complete lack of appetite for even the nicest of foods. And the overall dread and fear they pervades every aspect of your waking life.

I dislike her.

Coffee overnight oats are good. Not sure you need a recipe to put oats, liquid, yoghurt and fruit in a jar though. Good coffee and bananas and Greek yoghurt plus oats keeps me going on a nightshift. Sure the carrot ones are nicked from two chubby cubs though. If it is surprised she hasn't knocked their jokes as well.

Can't remember who posted about Booths, but those parcels are in the Christmas book again. Glad JM is too far South to appreciate Booths or she would recreate them with any old cheese, cheap jam nd a different pastry because, maverick

It was me! And my daughter has requested them again. I've already put my booths Christmas order in

Jack must be the least stoic person I have ever come across. Every slight mishap is treated as catastrophic and ruins her day - splinter, hurt shin, sore lip. Honestly my small grandaughter copes better with ailments.

I actually give BB credit to deal with her and her amateur dramatics. I honestly couldn't. I am all for sympathy if the person is truly sick but if they are just huffing and moaning at very slight ache that would piss me off.

I watched the whole of this recorded Facebook Live last night. All forty three minutes and fifty one seconds of it 😐

It was recorded during lockdown in April - halfway though DKL and just before She Left.

She talks about Louisa a few times.
