The room with the broomstick wardrobe looks like some ghastly 1970s hotel. Her interior design skills are on a par with her cooking, writing and piano playing.

In case you were wondering how I found that brainyquote website in the first place, it was because of this Google search:

As a knitter...
If she wasn’t so f-in arrogant as to do a minute of research.... that is one of the worst ways of making blanket squares! And why are they sewn together like soggy shreddies? And what’s the point of doing individual squares IN THE SAME YARN. At least do alternative colours- beige and a different beige if you must.
seriously Jack, stop trying to muscle into everyone’s niche. Learn to knit if you want but do it properly.

oh, and now duck OFF.

Edit- typos.

Sorry if the has already been said I’m grunkering...

You’ll be fine,” one of my Watch officers said reassuringly. “You’ve been in the Fire Service, you’ll find a new job easy.”

☝ From the Vogue article, again implying she was a fire fighter. You’re only on a watch if you’re a firefighter. And hasn’t she mentioned dismissal letters before?

Oh and the reusing cooking oil, good grief, it’s just utterly revolting.

Why does she have to be such a bloody misery guts about every little thing?!?

It's light hearted money saving hacks for a bit of fun Jack, stop making it into a huge heart wrenching, PTSD inducing, tip jar rattling povvo porn tale.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Where is the joy?
She’s draining, absolutely draining.

I don't think she'll be getting any honours from the queen. They must do their research better nowadays and there's enough out there about her now to see that she's not all she claims to be.

The only way Jack could ever know about being working class or experiencing financial difficulty is by reading about it. Says it all really. Imagine being such a throbber that you photograph AND post pics of books that you’ll never read in order to look like a fresher who’s been roped in to MarxSoc.

P.S- 12 items of clothing on one hanger with ring pulls? So just dragging around on the floor with the dust balls yeh? Lovely.

I also use the silicone bottle tops because my husband is savage when he takes the foil top off.

Had a mini grunka. I cannot wait for the next book. I might even take one for the team and buy it. Although her “it’s a bit Mrs Hinch” makes me think there’s going to be a lot of blank pages for you to write your own tit life hacks/‘recipes’/whatever the duck else she’s going to attempt to ram into book 7.

The sex work that Jack said she did...when this was said was before my time and I have no idea if she was an escort, street worker or something that I don’t know about but I can’t get my thoughts around what her parents must have thought about it. I just find this very difficult to understand.
I have been poorly with a depressive episode so not coherent. Getting better bit by bit.

I just mean she looks a lot healthier back then.
Possibly her poor mental state and inability to live a normal rational life is impacting her physically. We know she likes to talk about how she's barely eaten in the last 2 years etc etc

This is a really weird comment.

How. Rude. I've been in here from the original hausfrau coven.

The comment seemed a bit confused “her legs looked lush” followed by the scream face?
