‘Grainy snaps annotated in her intricate joined-up hand’.

Victorian waif vibes again. Remind me - wasn’t she born in the late 1980s? Those ‘grainy snaps’ would have been taken in the 1990s not the 1890s.

I love this teeth chat.

I had all 4 wisdom teeth out under local anaesthetic about 26 years ago , I still recall the dentist tugging away with the pliers.

I didn’t go down the soft softy sloppy food route , I had a Big Mac , chips and Chocolate milkshake for my tea because I was hard!! ( or stupid).

Mind you, It did take me about an hour to eat because I gnawed at it with my working teeth like a pesky smol hamster.

'I was fit, I looked like this'

What sorta like I do now and I'm not currently fit?

A few years ago I got pretty fit. I could do pull ups unassisted and deadlift 85kg (most I ever managed but I'm SMOL) and my body didn't look like this. You could see muscles and shit. She's fucking ridiculous.

I know all kinds of bodies can be fit but she's not got loads of meat on her. So if you were fit.....we would be able to see some evidence of that.

"I have almost finished that book...a little later than anticipated"

Article from September 2016.

Cooking on a Bootstrap was published in August 2018.

No Jack, before you left you were not training hard to move to the fireground, revelling in your hard masculine body, you were only just back at work after a c-section and according to the latest story iteration, were so stressed managing work and childcare you had a breakdown!

Her not attending her passing out parade because she was having a prima donna tantrum speaks volumes. Her attitude just stinks and it would have been hurtful to her dad especially.

No wonder Essex Fire and Rescue were glad to see the back of her.

There was a photo of her wearing a blazer and skirt in one of those "skint blogger" early photos at a local event which wouldn't have been that long after leaving the fire service. She doesn't look as she describes herself in this article - not muscular, no buzz cut.

What a shock, Jack is lying again.

Feeling like Rob Beckett over here with my 32 teeth...

Picking up on her "fam" comment yesterday, are we thinking that BB is no longer just a BB... These references keep being dropped in - the fam, "my little household" etc. More fool BB if that's the case, she knows what she's getting herself into.

Morning all

You're right she was wearing exactly that in the photographs! She looked nothing like GI Jane.

Christ's sake. Let's rearrange everything to work around special square peg put upon Jack.

Her invented dialogue is always so hokey!

Oh I doubt they'd be married yet. Jack would miss the opportunity to shock the masses as the most alternative tattooed bride that ever was, if they did it on the quiet. But it seems BB is there to stay as a more permanent fixture.

There’s pictures of her at an awards thing in a dress so why did she feel the need to do this?

(Attention)

The normal thing to do would be go along with it but raise a polite complaint in the background, hell you could even get the union involved. No one responds well to tantrums!

I think it was @Scarletfever who was right about that, I’m not that observant!


Actually gasped out loud at the possibility of a secret wedding*, but @Nottonightbabe it all makes sense that she’s now beyond just a BB!

*maybe this means I have a sad little life, but it feels like its been 84 years since any weddings happened and I’m a sucker for romance

They definitely aren't married. But Louisa seems to have been completely manipulated into moving back full time: the "relapse", the decluttering, the promise to stop spending money, the loneliness, the inability to cope as a "single parent". It's not a relationship built on equality and it's doomed.

I was looking for the photo I mentioned in my post and found this instead - Jack ranting about people pretending to be poor!


She even quotes "Common People"

The manipulation is so obvious now that you point it out, it’s unbelievably nasty. I agree, and I take back any wedding excitement I had.

I have 28 teeth - one wisdom half emerged causing massive problems multiple infections that the dentist did nothing for except rinse with corsodyl. When a large painful lump developed on my face by my ear I went to A and e and pretty much got told off by a doctor for being there. Felt even worse, but got an x ray and referral to consultant. He took one look at me and said ‘oh dear well that needs to come out’ and the next day three nurses held me down while it was levered out of my head. I was held down because of the force needed not because I was flailing - the sound was horrible. So sometimes you need to go to A and E because a dentist won’t extract until you’ve had many many infections and I couldn’t afford private. Thank you NHS.
(I don’t think I have any other wisdom teeth so am officially stupid)
Also synesthesia sounds like a superpower.

She mentioned "inlaws" very recently.
