They are mentioning the small opened bottle in the bottom shelf of the minibar and how it has been opened before the photo (which they don't realise is staged). They assume it is a juice thought but my first thought was a bottle of antibiotics, what do you think?

Also from this thread:

Stalkers that don't stop her posting numerous pictures of the inside of her house.

I actually think a Switch is a decent present for an 11 year old but the Switch Light is rubbish compared to the actual switch since you can't remove the controllers and therefore are limited in the games you can play on it. There's only about a £50 difference in price now so no idea why she bought the lite either for herself or SB, but probably herself.

I'll confess I bought myself a Switch as a gift over lockdown. I'm telling myself it is an investment in my health as I bought the fitness games since I was shielding and couldn't get out to exercise. Of course, I didn't get my lazy arse off the couch much to exercise in my living room and mainly use it to play a weird Japanese drumming game called Taiko no Tatsujin instead.

(Please remember to send money to my tip jar so I can buy butter, please)

It's an energy shot. There's another one on the top shelf. Probably turmeric and ginger.

I've been quiet recently but am going to announce I have more spoons than chairs but can't be bothered counting them. I do have a special paddle/ spoon thing for my rice cooker which I think makes me fancier than everyone else.

The Rolex spoons sell for £7.50 to £12 or so on Ebay so I doubt a business seller would chuck one in for free.

Where is Mini? I'm worried as I would have expected a lot more kitten pics by now.

I quite like the theory that JM thinks she’s playing with us by not posting kitten pics Jackie stop the torture and show us your kitty!

3 cooking implements - 1 wooden, 1 slotted and 1 bigserver that barely gets used.

Just dropping in to gently remind everyone that every day I don't see a pic of Jack's animals is a good day. #againstanimalsforengagement #nokittensfordopamineplease

I agree but my fear is that we'll just never hear of the kitten again and anyone who asks about it will get the old I DON'T PUT EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET, YOU KNOW!! SOME THINGS MUST REMAIN PRIVATE brush-off.

Not sure if anyone else has seen but Poppy O'Toole has a paid partnership with Hellmanns and she's doing a fantastic job. Somewhere in Southend there'll be clawing and howling I'm sure.

I have far too many 'big spoons' after years of me accidentally liberating them from the work canteen and Mr Disco doing same from his staff room. OOPS. It is bizarre because if he had the chance he would eat everything with a teaspoon.

Re: the squig making the offer to Jack of her grandmother's cutlery (I know that was ages ago but it's been bothering me). Ye gods...as a former history-adjacent Frau...those spoons would be a perfect item to be part of a local library or museum service for object based learning, which is what I did my MA dissertation on.
They're fairly sturdy, and making sure people washed their hands or wore cotton gloves would keep them in good shape so the risk of damage is low compared to documents, photographs and other ephemera for a cash-strapped service. They are such an everyday item, wrapped in the enormity of history. They could provoke some really interesting discussions for a wide variety of age groups.
I really, really desperately hope Jack has not slid into Spoon Squig's DMs. They could not go to a more undeserving person.

Feeling nostalgic for the good ole days of the Sunday Shop. Waiting with butterflies in our tummies to see what absolute magic the princess of pov was going to work with a measly 20 pounds for the whole week. Would she get tuna?! Packet of biscuits?! The flatlay pic of it all on the dining table and - ahaha - the hilarious pics SB would take of her taking the flatlay pics!

She kept it up for a gargantuan amount of time too, a whole 5 weeks or something wasn't it?

I have no spoons at all apparantly. Actually I do but suspect they are all in the teenager's bedroom!

Time for an Ikea trip to said bedroom from which I will emerge with all the missing spoons plus some plates and bowls, maybe a knife and fork or two as well.

Not photographing them and posting to Twitter/Insta though.

I've just realised I have heard a few friends talk like those quotes. I thought they were just being weird but to think people actually think this way

when did we become so self obsessed and lazy!

Emmapism

There are far too many people who could do with a dose of humility and a bit of genuine self-deprecation. Jack is the queen of them all.

The ability to take criticism gracefully and grow from it is becoming a bit of a lost art. Imagine being so up your own butthole that you imagine any criticism is purely borne from hatred. As though that's the only reason anyone could ever have to critique you.

I mean we've all said it many times. I don't hate Jack, most of us here don't. But we hate the grift. And she engages in the grift on the regular

Poppy seems to be flying and attracting so many partnerships. Pleased for her.

I get looking after yourself and taking no shit but somewhere it seems to have flipped into people honestly thinking they deserve everyone to treat them like queen's and that they can behave whatever way they want without consequences.

I actually hate that attitude. By all means look after yourself and care less but be prepared for flack if you become a douche.
