Delurking for the first time ever because finally angry enough at the manipulation to not care about her feelings. I always knew she knew what she was doing—but the going on and on lying about the $20 shop is infuriating (among the other infuriating lies).
American, former fan, wondered why I couldn’t get my budget anywhere close to $10 per week when she could. I’m a far better cook and economist and love food.
Also a single mom in a high cost of living city with no sideboard addiction.
What tipped me over the edge tonight (of all the things) was soapgate. I dated an abusive sociopath a year and a half ago. He was from Wales which isn’t pertinent to the story but funny just because I’m chatting you you lovely British fraus.
Anyway, he lied about his soap. We met in the states. He said something about using the same kind of laundry soap as me. The natural crap without fragrance. I went to visit him in Wales a couple of months later. The mask slipped the first night and I was scared out of my mind...
Anyway, I ended up finishing the week out there because I rationalized his behavior due to some personal tragedies he had. So it goes. I’m glad we never lived in the same city. Annnywayyyy, I did laundry there. The soap was super fragrant non-eco save the whales stuff. What a thing to lie about. Lots of that stuff.
I could go on and on with their similarities, and also in criticism of JM’s behaviors, but SHANT because I have to start watching the British Baking show and finishing my drink.
To the frau who called her friend’s mom, you did the right thing. That’s true love and friendship.
Back to likely lurking and not carry on too much here.
Oh! And I had unfollowed JM prior to the JO debacle, I couldn’t stand the way she acted and she seemed like a compulsive liar. Occasionally I’d visit her page and the JO thing happened—laughable that she thought they were on par with each other cooking/presenting wise. And that’s what brought me to this thread.
Oh but one more thing—what happened to the pig person?! Sometimes I skip pages! In a later thread it was said they were blocked or something and I was wondering what I missed as they were active for awhile and I liked hearing about the pigs
Also SHEEP.
