Maybe Jack needs to dig out these to help her sleep. The famous sleep mask from thread 1 post one
Imagine sleeping over your new squeezes house for them to clamber into bed with a grease riddled meal in the middle of the night, now if that's doesn't out you of Carnal relations then nothing would. 
With a cheeky little undeclared affiliate link if I'm remembering correctly?
Also I was never one for it because it actually suppresses my appetite but loads of people at uni used to cook random tit a 2 am and declare it the best ever.
this was usually after the latest student bender though.
She was being really surly and incoherent last night.....
I know she's done way worse things to be annoyed at but the eating in bed has just tipped me. Apologies to anyone who does it but I find it gross. If I'm having a bad pain day I'll tend to stay in bed but I still get up and sit at the table to drink tea or eat. She's just rank.
La Boheme? Rent?
I really appreciated the new details in the thread. The yellow sticker ginger, the dressing gowns. Adding unnecessary lurid details a decade later doesn't make me think Jack is lying, not at all
May I call on a maths person to speak on the £6 turning into quadruple figures?
Disaster! Southend Vanishes from Map: Budget Cook Says "I Was Hungry"
It didn’t stop gingerbread from working with her, even though she isn’t a single parent. They are satisfied that she identifies as one; so using that same analogy maybe she can identify as a lesbian whilst in a relationship with a male.that could be awkward if she’s involved with whispers, a man!
This is a brilliant point
I don't even like eating in bed on mother's day. I actually sit on the side of the bed and eat because my kids normally demand I stay upstairs so they can surprise me. I clear a space on my beside table and eat sitting on the side of the bed.
Her origin story sounds like it's been lifted from some gothic novel in the 1800s.
How did her bank charges get so bad. She was only without income for what like 6 weeks, I don't think bank charges quadruple that quick, also if she had of phoned the bank and explained they could have done something to help her afford it or possibly freeze the charges for a few weeks.
Her poverty story doesn't scream down on their luck it screams, being unprepared, crap with money and not facing their issues head on. Her life might have been easier of she had of phone up these companies at the start explained she was awaiting benefits and set up a pre paid plan, not burying ones head in the sand.

OMG - the very first time I heard or heard of Jack she was warbling manically about this thing on a classical music podcast, with a charming, calm and erudite host. It was uncomfortable listening
So I've assumed a flat 40% annual interest figure. That takes 16 years to go to 4 figures.
Column A is the debt at the start of the year, column B at the end.
That's assuming no extra debt, one off charges etc.
Suggests the debt was higher initially, or using pay day loan companies.
The 40% was picked as a friend had that as a catalogue rate, and couldn't work out why her debts barely down each month.
But overall, sounds as accurate as the 344% price hike.
She had to stop because Harold doesn’t like it, too new fangled for his tastes.
He wakes her up at 2 to go to the loo, so she just multi tasks and makes snacks (in the dark of course) ,not on the meal plan because they are free (2am rules)

Oh she does indeed have a garden a very large garden with many outbuildings, hammock, egg chairs, pizza oven and many chairs
This table just sums up what I adore about these threads. You are all such a bunch of clever ninnies.
I bet she rues the day she posted that undeclared and illegal affiliate link. Who know whether the JO pile on would have been captured and this thread ignited?
It feels likely to me that the £6 debt incurred a late payment fee (or multiple) plus letters which went unanswered and were probably added to the bill.
years ago Clydesdale Bank charged me two fees, one for an unpaid bill and another for going over my overdraft fee too. I think it cost me over £100 for something which was probably similar to Jack’s £6…
I’m almost certain Jack would have made a claim back for all her bank charges.
but lunch today was supposed to be sausage panzanella - it's on the planner and everything!
