Not making light of those who are genuinely suffering hardship ( unlike Monroe) but her hideous style of writing omfg. Makes it sound like Martin is some kind of avenger taking on all the zombies in an impending apocalypse
Exactly what I thought when I read it. Birdbox stylie. Reminds me of some of the conspiracy theory pages I follow just to keep my finger on the pulse.
Oh tit. I sound a bit jackish

Mine too. Is it weird that my boyfriend is on my laminated list?
boyfriend, Jarvis, Louis Theroux, a young Michael Caine, please and thank you.
I can't be doing with a list. Never mind laminated xx but Captain James T Kirk & a spot of Jack Nicholson in his early days .phwoar x

Does she think Martin is running this himself? With nobody else employed?
Goodness me, she’s bleeping insufferable.


bleeping Easter Holidays too and he’s in his room, assumed to be asleep at half 8.
As always there's a motive for Jacksie's actions - guess who has got a job going as a Senior Product Manager. Yep. Money Saving Expert and Martin Lewis. It's here: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/site/job-vacancies-and-interns/
Hence all the arse licking and fawning from our smol maverick
God, she's like an overheated Jack Russell trying to shag your leg for a Bonio.

I think Yannis is one of the younger siblings and not Military brother?

Think he probably used David at school. And I should respect that but I’m just trying to differentiate from their dad. Younger boy isn’t Greek, I don’t think, given how big a deal Jack made of cutting his Afro hair* 🙄

*obv I know Greece isn’t monoracial she just made it a thing didn’t she so I’m assuming.

anyone who chooses to talk about their own personal journey has a responsibility to pass the message on in an appropriate way
This is it. Ultimately the big book was written in old timey America so will never endear the newcomer, or someone struggling, like real human lived experience or empathy can so doesn’t make sense or feel appropriate to be tweeting out. But how can someone who exploits every facet of their personal life for financial gain be expected to understand attraction not promotion? Or rigorous self honesty 🤭

Am BUSY tomorrow so will sadly miss the tit beige slop, hopefully Ruth’s given Lorraine the heads up not to eat a thing under any circumstances ☠☠☠

Wtf at that 500 billion (???) tweet - if she doesn’t like the price of ASDA own brand rice now wait til they’ve printed bleeping 500 billion new pounds?!
If only there were any historical precedents indicating this might be a very bad thing.

Oh.

Sorry for the Recovery Jack Regurgitation but I’m behind again.

Excellent quoting from the Big Book Jack. Please believe me when I say if ANYONE else was speaking openly about AA/the Big Book/12 Steps, I would be happy. But because it’s Jack and she’s so sanctimonious and so self-centred and so…un-12Step-like, I just can’t.

Oh Jack. You could only dream of a day of putting principles before personalities! She just can’t see that we’ve seen windows with less transparency than her, she thinks everyone else are idiots. We see you Jack, we hear you, we watch you!

When I came back I said to myself “Lenny, lay off the AA chat. Just because you’re a veteran of both the NYPD and AA, not everyone wants to hear your views”. Not because I don’t think it should be spoken about, quite the opposite (although AA is only a small part of Jack). But because I would hate if anyone would think I judge anyone else’s sobriety. I genuinely don’t, only my own (and occasionally Mr Lenny’s 🤭). I just can’t bear people getting the wrong impression of what AA and recovery can be like. My view is that anyone who chooses to talk about their own personal journey has a responsibility to pass the message on in an appropriate way. And I don’t think she does, it’s all “me me me…quote I’ve heard at a meeting…ooh look at my tokens…another quote I’ve heard…me me me, tell I’m the best sober person you’ve met”
Recovery Jack can get in the bin.
She can get in the bin with every other type of Jack. All Jacks belong in the bin of shame.

I work with Product Managers. 🔺🔺 They're kick-ass problem solvers and organisers. Jack would never ever be able to do that job. She can't even run her own website.

It’s pretty trash of MSE/Martin Lewis to not have salaries on their job descriptions. Especially as it only serves to continue the gender pay gap.

Bet you that the Netflix account is the OH's account, not hers, and he's put a TV in the crappy bungalow, so she can still claim not to own one.
OH has probably said you can't be on supersaversquad and not watch yaself on the telly my funny little luddite and then kissed her on her head and brought out the new telly with a flourish.
The Lego flowers were a smokescreen my love all my little tokens and gewgaws have been leading up to this and then gave jack a cheeky pat on her Mediterranean tushy
The boy is fast asleep let's get cosied up and watch costume drama, comedies and repair programs as is our wont
A cheer sounded from the boy's bedroom clearly dear reader he is not asleep
Repair squad will have to wait another half hour or so depending on penalties
This is not how I planned it jack but I love your crazy quirky little bungalow with stairs and specialist poo seat ahahaha
I will do everything in my power to keep you and the boy in the style you deserve for all your important and powerful world changing body of work

I suppose a smol sandwich and smol pack of crisps in bed is an improvement on anchoïade devilled eggs that made her ovaries groan in eggy sympathy.

The afro hair thing refers to a foster/ adopted brother who if I recall correctly lives with her parents and inexplicably requires an untrained white woman to cut his hair.

If she knows she's taking a sandwich to bed, why not make three, so she's not eating tomorrow's lunch as a midnight munch?

Or you know, eat properly through the day. Does your dietician mate not recommend common bleeping sense, Jack?
