Am I the only northern Irish person who is underwhelmed by veg soup. It's ok but I don't choose to have it.

If you miss a university deadline for an essay/ project, it's usually an automatic fail unless there were mitigating circumstances ....something Jack would never understand ( don't think an ouchy ear would cut it somehow)

Thanks for that.
A deadline is a deadline - the use of the word ’marginally’ is typical of Jack minimising her unprofessionalism. The deadline had already been extended by a few months, and she has still failed to deliver on time.
Time is an illusion. Deadlines doubly so.

Absolutely shocking! Are they not aware of her work?!

Shes going to go on some big rant isn't she? About how badly done to she is, how no one one appreciates her work and most of all how she RENTS a SHITTY bungalow!

It’s like constantly pointing out to your kids that your body’s changed irreparably because of them - look at my pouch, ‘my body is ruined because of you’ bullshit (the physical investment). It’s like shaddap.
Ive just realised that my mum has always done this to me ! I’m youngest of 3 born 10 years after the 2nd and I was always told by my mum that she used to be a size 8 til she had me ! I made her really ill and her back bad etc I adore my mum but it’s not a helpful thing to say ( along with that I was a mistake and an accident !)

You know she's going to be the mother-in-law from hell one day. I am highly trained in these matters and can spot them a mile off.
God can you imagine?! The attention seeking behaviours when she feels too much attention is being bestowed on the partner and not her.

The thing is. Did she ever hand in her political book, if not and she is using the same publisher that would be by my count two books she's hasn't been delivering on. That's not a good thing.

Sometimes I think she really is on a self sabotage.

To be fair, the article does mention Jack, it is in the form of a quote describing the food parcels as a "poverty picnic". She loves a good slogan does our Jack. She does it in the hope that one day one of her slogans will go viral. They never do.

It's a boring day in Jackworld now that she's got to get off twitter and do some actual work.

I think mothers are sometimes unaware of the way what they are saying will be perceived by the child hearing it. My mum was lovely, but told my much younger bother that he was a mistake, and that she was horrified when she found out she was pregnant. He remembers that to this day, even though he was clearly the favourite, and was the blue eyed boy for both my mum and dad.

Dear Heart is definitely in the green part. This is where I definitely relate to Jack, although I do always manage to get the work done and to a good standard

Sorry to post something so distressing. A mother and child. And judging by the roundness of the mother it looks like she was pregnant. I threw myself on the floor, howling and wailing.
Not sure how that other video is attached, thank God it wasn't anything rude or with my face on as I can't seem to edit it now Csn you help mods?

My bad there! Apologies - in my defence, I was EXTREMELY AND SEVERELY BUSY when I posted it **

Either way, I'm sure she'll be posting a link out to it on Twitter in 3...2...1...

Every single essay I have ever written!

I was a premature conception and my parents were 'forced' to Marry at 17 and 21.
*Narrators Voice*
They should NEVER have married.
I was blamed for anything and everything my incubator didn't like in her life.
It stays with you and fucks you up.

Can you imagine her trying to upstage the bride on her big day
and if not upstaging there will be a drama so that the focus is on her...a night in A&E (that never happened).

I can safely say that I dislike every post about SB. She should keep him out. She thinks she is clever writing what overall sounds like a positive message but then she inevitably gives all her resentments away.
I don't think she has a concept of giving or loving that does not ask for some kind of return for her in whatever form, be it financial or a display of an artificially constructed image.

'Investment' is a cruel word and concept to have when talking about human relationships of any kind. (Also with animals)

Babe, same x

Although it might just be my mum wasn't great at making it so I would never pick it on a menu or make it (although I did like the barley in it).
