I had a look at the affiliate link and it’s a similar product - but obviously not at all the same as the one on her story. It’s also far from clear how that thing works - unless you’re just supposed to stand in front of it with your grubby socks on.

Sorry it is off topic and bit of a boring photo so as not to too much but I’m just back from a lovely couple of hours in the sun. It’s so nice to be hopefully coming out of lockdown soon but for now it is just nice to have a bit of sunshine and a nice walk in the park. I barely left the house over winter and when I got Covid at end of feb it was a further excuse to just be a hermit. I really didn’t have the energy before but today was just perfect and now I’m back to feeling like I want to get out and about. I hope all the fraus are all having a lovely weekend, get loads of choco eggs and a nice roast or whatever you fancy.

Also I hope SB gets a lovely proper big chocolate egg and not just some leftover anchiode eggs!

The socks.....

Perhaps she has flitted to her secret location and all she has is the clothes on her back.

Honestly I'd be to the nearest supermarket for a pack of socks and pants asap the first day. I cannot stand it. Even if I am not washed and dressed after 11 in the day I have to go get changed it really gives me the ick.

That's false advertising! Even with declared aff links she's still grifting!

Why do you need to spaff money on a special board to do push ups? She’s so bloody spendy.

Yes today has been one of those lovely restorative days. My nieces popped round and we walked up to see my parents. Lovely day. I hope all of yours were too.

I love the Ladies-who-organise, to quote Sir Terry P. They keep a lot of charities running.

She’s a fitness influencer now?

Wouldn't it have been helpful to post some videos of her actually using the bloody thing rather than stand there in her manky socks? Looking at the listing it's literally just a board with handles attached that you use to do press-ups. Do you know the best thing to do press-ups off? The fucking floor. The technology is amazing, you just ...put your hands wherever you want them. Obviously Extinction Rebellion Zero-Waste Jack couldn't quite wrap her head around the idea of performing an exercise without superfluous accoutrements. The item itself isn't brutal either, it's something you put your hands on. Sorry, I have a bee in my Easter bonnet about gimmicky exercise equipment.

Also she can't actually show it in use because she can't do a single press-up

Has she ever met a real bodybuilder? The thought of Jack showing up to her local Pescatarian* Bodybuilders Club with her shitty little board...christ.

* yellow sticker black pudding is a fish, right?

Is this to do push ups every time someone says something mean? Assume she has washboard abs from last year's crunches so is looking for better shoulders and biceps now.

Look at the water rower, the bike she allegedly had in the garage. I'm with you @traumatised sideboard all the clever, expensive stuff from Amazon is not going to work unless you use it regularly! If it makes you more likely to exercise great, but you still have to crack on and get the session done.

Disclaimer: I do have more than one bike (n+1 for those who know) but guess what? Each of the current fleet have been outside in the last month. And I have no car (no medical reason, I just don't need one at the moment) so they are also my mode of transport.

If it's through Amazon then once you click on affiliate link then I'm pretty sure Jack will make a commission on ALL purchases you make over the next 30 days.

So in theory she could deliberately post something vague as a cure all for fitness to get you to click... and whether you purchase that contraption or not she could still be making Click baity griftiness at its worst.

Someone more in the know about affiliate links correct me if I'm wrong though!

If she's feeling in need of support, can't she just contact the people she asked to write to her agent saying how wonderful she is?
