Surely this is absolutely horrendous for your teeth?Why is she air-drying the stuffing then deep-frying it? Where logic?!
Anyway, Jack's website crisis has led to a LOT of her archives suddenly being online. I've been screenshotting my way through them for a few days, without saying anything here in case they mysteriously vanished again. A lot to unpack soon! But today - in the spirit of Jack's recent rants about non-alcoholic drinks - I have a treat for our teetotal Frauen:

Just imagine turning up to a party, mentioning your sobriety, and being given a glass of Sainsbury's Basics vinegar. Cheers!
The everybody falls off the wagon comment!?! Isn’t this a terrible thing to say to someone in recovery? (I hope one of our knowledgeable AA fraus can answer.)
I always appreciate your take on AA stuff (& @TurnedUpInTipp's, @LennyBriscoe's, although I know our favourite detective is taking a well-deserved break from the thread). Honestly it's great to have Frauen here who have worked the programme and turned their lives around, if anyone vulnerable is reading this you guys always have practical things to say, which is a million miles from Jack's dangerous claptrap.Sorry to always write essays on AA and there are more of us here who have different stories / more time in - there’s no one authority and this isn’t in right Jack’s wrong, it’s I’m well and incredibly concerned about the vulnerable people she has a) influenced cosplaying as someone years into recovery b) is currently influencing as a newcomer. She’s actually predatory it’s sick.
Yes, the public coughed up £68k for Cooking on a Bootstrap, which she said she was going to self-publish, but she then got a publishing deal for it so was paid twice for the same product. The one she got the publishing deal on was in the shops before the kickstarter one, it was in colour with photos unlike the kickstarter one and IIRC it was at a lower price point. Many people who supported her via the kickstarter complained when years went by and they never received anything, and she posted and emailed loads of passive aggressive updates which detailed how her health was failing and could people stop BULLYING her etc. God knows where all the money went and God knows why it wasn't picked up by any papers - although the Guardian, for example, completely enabled her by publicising the kickstarter from the beginning.

Keeping Cotswold afloatIf she got paid twice for the same book, and at least one of those times was to the tune of 68k, why didn't she just buy a house?
I do not understand what she has done with all of that money?

Also pointing out what a privilege receiving multiple lump sums of cash is - those are windfall sums and allow you to reach financial goals so much quicker but also more cost effectively. Eg bigger deposit lower LTV = access to better interest rates.

I wonder why they didn't ask Jack for tips...
Didn't she say most of the £68k went on postage (for books that mysteriously never arrived after vanishing into the black hole that is the Southend postal service)? Then asked overseas backers to pay additional postage, two years after they should have had their books!Yes, the public coughed up £68k for Cooking on a Bootstrap, which she said she was going to self-publish, but she then got a publishing deal for it so was paid twice for the same product.

I don’t. They all enable the sham.I love all the responses where Caroline tells people they need to get back to her by the 31st of October as there are very few copies left and the rest are beingpulpeddonated to food banks, after people have waited absolutely ages for their book. What an absolute shambles, though I do feel sorry for anyone who has to work with Jack.
Came to say the same thing. Now she’s a Joni fan? She can fuck right off. Not to go full Emma Thompson In Love Actually but Joni Mitchell's music changed me for the better and I don't want Novax Jackovic anywhere near it.
