Thank you for doing this, it must have taken ages!

So she went back for at least 9 months, assuming she returned to work after the full year of mat leave, possibly 12 months if she’d done a 9 month mat. That’s a long, long time to do a job that provides no flexibility? All very odd.
Looking at her hours, she only needed childcare for 4 days, and 2 of them were standard nursery hours. Couldn't the baby's dad or a relative have him for those 2 nights? Seems a bit daft to bin a decently paid job when something could have been worked out.

Also she mentioned having the books for her course that's she's reading even though she's not on it. I've just started a distance learning MSc and everything is online now (and you only have access when on the course e.g. Moodle). You don't really use books as such as the books you could use at extortionate, £10s to even £100s. So I really doubt that's true, or she's not on a very good course with cheap books.
That reminds me of yet another inconsistency in her pov storyline - her decorative unread books on socialism and tit that she prominently displays on her bookshelves and photographs for social media (such a poser). That collection must have cost £££. Don’t tell me you got them from a charity shop/found them in a puddle, Jack, these aren’t ten a penny mass market paperbacks.

From taking to other mums, slightly odd shift patterns (as long as there is no on call) can actually be quite beneficial when you've got two people (together or co-parenting). Two paramedics I know with a baby have got their shift pattern down to an art and have one and a half days a week in nursery mainly for socialising and so they get a break.

Binning that job was an entirely typical Jack tantrum. I've had some involvement in negotiating reduced hours/new shifts to accommodate child care and other family responsibilities and it's usually a lot of back and forth until a suitable compromise is worked out. Jack with her typical grandiosity imagined by quitting they'd come crawling and offer her whatever she wanted. I'd love to have seen the look on her face when they said "cool, see ya". Hence why she went crawling back trying to rescind her resignation.

Can you imagine the look of sheer joy on that little chap's face when a mate invites him round for tea.
Imagine his surprise to see people related by blood sitting down at a table, passing to each other bowls of freshly made food, using cutlery and dinner plates. "Yer mamapapa's a cook, SB, yeah? Your dinners must be great compared to this. Sorry, old mate, I had a busy day at work so we threw this together when we all arrived home. But you're always welcome..."

SB nodding, wondering when they'd all sit on the stools scooping food out of the pans in which it was cooked.

She's being crappy about Jamie Oliver.
ETA - did Jamie Oliver endorse UKIP?
I did not know this, however if true, it surely wouldn't invalidate his views on healthy food?
Sorry, can't do screenshots, its in her replies.

In my experience, management are usually quite keen to try and meet half way when it comes to flexi working requests.... WHEN the employee is worth it😅 I bet Jack was a pain in the arse with a sickness record as long as her Mediterranean arse

Jamie Oliver has stated publicly that he stays politically neutral, to enable him to work with governments on food standards. That nasty tweet from her is libellous, no?

Calling his brother-in-law a fraudster might be.
She has not addressed the message that JO is putting out, her response appears to be based on the fact that she does not like him and therefore will not retweet his article. His article asking Boris to support and value child health.

It's possible they were sent to her by publishers

Jokes about the storm? Empathy personified.

Obviously she RENTS so any storm damage would be the responsibilty of the landlordlady...even if she hasn't paid her rent.
Everything else was nicked in the multiple burglaries. Calling Southend police! 🚨
However, I'm still sure she could manage a rattle rattle if she really tried. ;)

That tweet about JO is completely unnecessary. Still jealous? Still definitely vile.
