I once viewed a place that had a gigantic oil painting of Maggie Thatcher hanging above the bed, AND another painting of her above the loo! Twas incredible, still think about that house

'stalking' seems OK if one brings branded goodies. But questioning her behaviour that she puts out on the internet in abundance is deemed bad.
She knows that nobody on Tattle is stalking her...because it is not true!!! So she is making false claims.
The thing some people can't stand is being challenged. It is not bullying!!! In the past only experts were allowed in the public realm. There is a huge problem these days with influencers etc. that they can just make claims about diet, ways of getting sober and a whole variety of other topics and that people then follow their advice. The recipes she posts are nearly exclusively soft, for example. Poor people should and can eat things that are solid!
There is an influencer who pretented to be on a raw vegan diet that contained LOADS of sugar. She later confessed she ate other food, too but despite that she lost hair and later had to be more careful with what she posted.

I would never have joined a site whose members are plain bullies. This is a form of social control, not a hate site!!
And never ever did I have such an array of luxury items even when I was in full time employment. If you put yourself and too much out there, you have to live with being challenged.
The robot: it could be filed as 'whatever works for you, I am all up for that. If you walk 50 steps backwards while juggling oranges and that works-great! But there have to explanations why it works and just claiming the robot helps could pose a risk.
It is generally fine to include alcohol in your recipes. We don't all want to go puritan but if you have marketed and presented yourself as sober, then you have to be responsible and careful. Alcohol in cooking is a no go for recovering folk. That is a fact. Same applies to children. I could go on and I am obviously not writing this for the intelligent, responsible, knowledgable and lovely Frauen und Herren but for anyone who is reading and would like to enlighten themselves.
Quite an amount of us are very upset because we have experienced poverty first hand.

Its like you've gazed into a parallel universe where #31 went very differently

Imagine where jack could be by now if she was nicer and took feedback/tried to improve. The success of miguel barclay shows there's still that huge demand for 'her niche'

Sorry to take this off on a tangent but have you seen the ‘frugal’ matchboxes she’s selling? £9!!

The thought of Jackie being all up in my N4 endz today makes me feel a bit queasy. I wonder, if I open my window and listen carefully, may I hear the distant sound of gnashing and wailing?

She couldn't ever hope to ever make a sandwich as delicious as Max's 'ham, egg & chips', he is an actual proper maverick who loves food and knows how to put flavours together.

How about we club together and buy a SMAL GRIFTBOTT - body of a duck egg, limbs of cooking bacon, lounges in a hammock on the phone all day, randomly shouts out various ailments?

Oh my days the doodled task list has had me hooting!! What a joke. I like to think that I can procrastinate with the best of them but even I know to crack on with getting stuff done when there are really pressing issues. Especially when it's something you've promised to do for someone else! Book deadline? Patreon postcards? Removing the bazillion Amazon links from your website? I'm flabbergasted that she put all that time into doodling and then presenting it so carefully to Twitter when she could have actually been getting on with some tasks!

She doesn't even need to do a damn list! @kachoochoo has already got one for her!!!!

@Falkor totally with you on the bullet journalling. If you ignore all the Pinterest crap at its heart it's actually a very simple and effective system.

@Jay-cloth Cow Nae coos here I'm afraid - a friend in the next village has a few Highlands, one of which has an upside-down horn that she passes onto all of her offspring. I don't have a picture, but she quite often gets photographed by tourists on the North Coast 500 route, so if you search Instagram for #nc500 and #cow or #highlandcow or #coo or similar, she'll probably come up

Foot all better for the moment, but it's so wet it'll probably come back I had to go and get them all in off the common grazings on Monday because their boyfriend is arriving next week and bless them, they all came running when they saw me with a bucket and followed me back to the village in an orderly procession (about a mile walk).



Sorry, I'll stop derailing the Jack chat now!

Ohhhhh *raises hand desperate to speak*

I’ve worked out why she’s so obsessed with books this week....

Omg, so glad I found this thread! I find this woman bloody insufferable. So obnoxious. Trying so hard to be a quirky, hard-done-by victim of life whilst lapping up every mercenary moment. And no Jack, nobody is blindly attacking a ‘strong, independent woman’...you’re just a bad person.

How is it legal under GDPR to have a folder listing names, addresses and occupations of people who have not given you permission to hold their data and when you do not have a good reason for holding the data?

Quick grunka through vampire's tweets and seems to be trying to get a few female celebs addresses under the guise of sending them something like flowers, a book, sculpture.

I really hope Jack does move now, and is more sensible in new house with what she shares, bc im honestly spooked and not sure she's smart enough to stop engaging with him while he's giving her positive attention

Idk why im worrying for her when she'd probably delight in giving him our addresses to put a brick through our windows... but i still don't want her to have to deal with a real stalker, or SB obviously.

I actually am really pleased we don't post addresses or anything on here because even though i know WE would never stalk her, you never know who's lurking on the site and also cause we're better than that

Love that picture falkor - though i note you didn't use a cartoon filter to protect Nibbles' privacy - so you can expect the poor ewes will soon be triangulated and summoned to court as an accessory to online cyberbullying!

I love lists, I write them on paper or on a memo on my phone. Just the day's tasks. Appointments go in the calender. Simple but effective. Jack's wallpaper shambles is all over the place. Where is the starting point, where does it end?

Regarding us complaining when she does legit work instead of grifting, I think we are entitled to complain. It is evident from DKL and Hellmans that she did no prep before hand, she is not new to TV but is still shit at it. Her articles are the same rehashed poverty saga which help no one. Her recipes have been proven by members on here to be unsuccessful and worse disgusting. Numerous comments from the guardian, twitter and amazon book reviews support this fact. She is not good at her legitimate work, she trashed JO and strings were pulled to get her DKL which is a manipulative and devious act. She does not deserve the job offers because she puts no effort in and clearly despises the people her work is aimed at.

Even cheaper, buy a ball of cotton yarn and a crochet hook. Three rounds of treble crochet, fasten off and sew the ends in. Keep going until you've finished the ball.

I have a net drawstring bag on the back of the bathroom door for the used rounds and bung the bag and contents in the washing machine with the towels. Nice and easy, no soaking required.
