She's got a far bigger addiction to shopping than I imagined. It's completely out of control. I used to do shit like that when I wa speeding.

6 teaspoons, 5 pudding spoons, a big stirrer/serving spoon and a ladle.
If that was me - and thank LJC I'm not - I'd be off pronto with all the silver hallmarked ones to flog as scrap.

Ehhhm, about 20 maybe ranging from the teaspoon my sibling stole and shoved in my handbag one drunken evening to ladles…

It reminds me of the twitter posts that used to be popular, when people are like 'this just came through the post, I have no recollection of ordering it, must have been stoned out my tree' and there's a pic of the most hideous T shirt ever (generally with a wolf printed on it, much like Jack's old duvet cover), or 10,000 boxes of Haribo Tangfastics or whatever.

If she displays her grotty old utensils in her worn boots, what’s she going to stick her cutlery in?

I am by no means a minimalist, but all the images I’ve seen of her kitchen stuff gives me anxiety. No wonder moving is such a monumental task for her.

£45 postage!!!!

What purpose did it serve to lie about how she acquired them?! Why the big hoo-haa about having things thrown in for free as a second thought from the seller? Why?!

She wants people to think she's frugal.
The price was the same price though?! so instead of getting more for less money, it made her look like she was buying more spendy things and got some muddy puddle gifts for free? I’m genuinely confused!

Confession, we have loads of cutlery. We buy to sell on, esp bone handled stuff.
Very saleable, she didn’t get from us. Fish knives and forks are stupid and never sell. None of what Jack brought is quality, you can pick up boxes of it at auctions £10-20 a box. Now good stuff is another matter.
The postage on that lot would be horrendous.

I’ve just noticed in that fireplace pic there are four pairs of DMs (£100 a pop) plus the Mulberry bag. Like a grands worth of stuff and it looks like trashed shit.

How can she use the #homeonabootstrap tag and keep a straight face?

Please correct me if I am wrong, because this is not an area which I am familiar with, but if you have stopped drinking (for whatever reason) and what to continue to not drink, why would it be a good idea to have the old bottles in full view in your house? Surely they would be behavioural or emotional triggers in some way? This post seems to me yet another clue that she has no idea what people who are truly going through addiction issues are suffering.
