I think it was even before that. TD had the measure of her from way back.
Iirc someone asked Jack about if she'd seen something TD had posted and Jack's reply was 'she blocked me ages ago'
countdown to āplease leave me aloneeeeeāJack follows this account, which has also retweeted the Neville Southall retweet. This is EXCITING.
ETA she also follows Southall
She follows thousands of accounts. God knows how she sees anything. Also, she is one of those people who follows/unfollows/follows to make you notice her.
Worse, TRAMPLED! Because of course you write all your precious recipes on loose leaf paper and keep them in the bleeping garage you absolute whelksplat.
What is it you can get on the (terribly terribly broken needs ALL THE MOST EVER engineers to fix) website that needs a discount? Does she sell scummy slops on the sea shore?

More bleeping postcards probs.
She sees all blue tick stuff because verified accounts get a separate verified column/tab.
worth noting the Ā£3.50 tier used to just say in return for keeping her and SBās pantry stocked youād receive a general feeling of wellness, it was very much pitched as a charitable donation to her and SB.
Hoping one of our archival queens has the screen shot of this!
I wonder whether her book has actually been cancelled. After all, it was at least a year late and was even then cobbled together at the last minute from scraps of paper, with a load of crap no one asked for like what to do with tumble-drier fluff. 
It looked like a first draft was rejected early this year. Maybe the publishers just ran out of patience and decided to cut their losses. Itās not going to make them any money, after all, the last one sold practically nothing.
Maybe this is one of the catastrophic events she referred to a couple of days back.
Itās just that the story of all her ārecipesā being trampled to bits by burglars would be a conveniently timed cover story for those squigs that donāt look too closely.

Nah, I did this and Iām 1987. BT allowed you local calls for free for an hour, so I did this exact same thing with my primary school bestie (In NI, guessing in England too)
This AA bullshit is awful and I send all my love to our Fraus who are struggling with her right now.
I feel great knowing Iām keeping Jackās larder stocked. And by larder, I mean wardrobe full of designer clothes.
I take it that that description gave her a rash until she changed it to a false promise, as she's allergic to being honest.
My god the audacity. Actual, literal, begging when she doesnāt need it.
RRP for good food for bad days is Ā£7.99, with some majorly favourable (to her) assumptions:I wonder whether her book has actually been cancelled.

A) the publisher receives 100% of RRP purely cos idk bookseller margins.
B) All books were sold at that Ā£7.99 print RRP which is doubtful due to digital sales & regular discounting
C) The Nielsen figure is 100% of book sales (unlikely so us being ungenerous here, as she has an in with a number of smaller booksellers & her own web store which Iām assuming wonāt be reporting sales data to Nielsen!)
Then that means the publishers got Ā£24.8k for the project. Deducting editing, legal, design, print, warehouse, shipping, marketing, sales teams and other general publisher staff resourcing costs (fixed overheads?) AND her advance there really canāt be much in it for them if not an actual loss. And thatās with the very biggest revenue the project possibly could have generated.
The next book will be printed on old chippy chip paper to cut costs if at all!
thank you

and now our favourite dessert champion has retweeted the "not as simple as 'just don't drink'" tweet!
Right that's it I'm starting a Patreon.
Also if she's given up on being a 'food' 'writer' and tries to write a recovery memoir I will be absolutely raging
eta: also here for the slow unravelling of her lies and dangerous advice via tweets from non-charlatans on twitter
The production values were pretty poor for Good Food for Bad Days (it looked very cheaply done), so they had a nerve trying to sell it for Ā£7.99 if you ask me.
I think they probably took her on under a 4-book contract or whatever on the strength of the sales of her first book, which was with a different publisher. But itās been diminishing returns. I expect they canāt wait to get rid of her.
Ditto her agents, come to that. She canāt be earning them any money and the efforts they make to get her work are probably not worth it.
