I think most people who joined had time for her before something pushed them over the edge and they start googling. I know it was certainly the case for me (eyeshadow bruise).
That brought me here and I lurked for ages. At first I thought people were way too harsh and sort of conspiracy theoryish about everything but I kept reading because honestly people here are very witty (grunka'ing the DKL threads was a true joy). Broadly I still thought she'd gone through horrible poverty and had really just gotten lucky to get out of it and sure who would really begrudge her the odd splurge because her money management skills after exiting poverty would understandably not be the best.
But then as you keep up, and because receipts are always here instead of being deleted on a whim you end up being like, wait, actually, this is actually all a total house of cards. She had family living close by the whole time? Her child's father was involved the whole time? She has how many sideboards now and she can't afford butter?
That's not even getting to the really outlandish stuff that I would never have come across without reading here because I only just knew her as a vaguely benign presence on twitter (Did she sleep rough as per the article in the US? Was she forced out of her job or did she quit? How many times did she actually go to a food bank?)
To rise above getting annoyed these days I try to focus on the most hilarious lies. She doesn't own a toaster because taking the time to grill it makes her think harder about making toast or she'd eat it all day. Whoops! Photo of kitchen has a big toaster in the background. She doesn't drink coffee? Or does she? Also the thread that got the biggest laugh out of me ever was the jackshacks thread with the "frugal suggestions". For literal days afterwards I would randomly think of
@Petelgeuse post and start laughing
That is NOT a casserole. Please don't argue with someone who's literally a food expert, dear heart.

Had to shorten it to fit. Your prize: your choice of one of Jack’s garden chairs, plus a slice of the lemon drizzle. Zesty.
