Constant mood swings could also be caused by ~substances~ so may not be something pathological.
I diagnose Jack is a bleep.
Grunking - but this ^
is how a friend finally got a Peri Natal Psych referral that was not bounced back, and it saved her life.
had to ask them to do a Welfare Check; she was 6 weeks post natal, and rang me in the strangest state - as she had moved 3 hours away, and her husband was working away, I couldn’t just pop in on her.
I got off the phone after an hour and wondered if I’d imagined the entire conversation, because it was like talking to someone on a serious amount of shrooms.
They went round pretty quickly, paramedics were called and she was taken to A&E for assessment.
Welfare Checks are designed to save lives, aren’t done lightly and should not be abused.

Yes Jack, you egregious twit. Let's just build loads move affordable housing. Plenty of skilled workers available to do this. Oh sorry we left Europe and they have all fucked off.
Why not concentrate on Boris's attempt to privatise social housing by selling it to the people who can least afford to maintain it
Eta and I hope Jack doesn't get requests for recipes from diabetics. I remember that pudding she made that she claimed was suitable for diabetics. The one that was crammed with fruit.
I'm not sure it is flipped, the logo on the Roberts (FANCY!) radio looks correct in this picture. If I flip an image of one, the logo looks like this -
Could be a stopped clock, could be noone liked her crappy oats and it's been left there all day. Could just be a performative breakfast WFK
Not a fellowship frau so this is just my opinion - but I don’t think AA wants you as an ambassador Jack. You aren’t following the anonymous part and you are using it for self promotion and you aren’t staying alcohol free.
I wish there was a way of dealing with her AA tit in an official way. It would deter me from her local meetings.
Yep and by sounds of Thorpe Bay (retirement village?) even smaller homes will be in a similar state. Entire rebuilds aren’t uncommon here and exactly what you described has just been unveiled down my road - 3 impossibly small houses put in a single plot, idk if it’s possible to have a studio house but if so these must be it!
The deposit really is just the start of it. If she enjoys spending 150% of her disposable income at John Lewis then that’s fine, but owning a home is at direct odds with that.
TU rally obviously have had a lot of speakers pull out, as it's really late in the day to organise speakers for anything happening in less than 2 weeks
Yes, zero concern for anyone else attending those meetings. All her stated concerns for her privacy and none for anyone else.
When we were looking to buy there was a 3 bed in total disrepair but with a massive garden, so we thought about it and were a bit excited until we read to the end of the listing that said there was planning permission for 2 X 3 bed houses in the back garden. Obviously the price went through the roof and now there will be 3 houses on a plot and more family homes with tiny gardens.
The image only flips on a selfie, if you use the front facing camera, as she has done here, the image is correct. Could be that the clock isn't working (that will be her excuse anyway)
As always, late to the party @Nottonightbabe got there first!
There is so much of what she is doing at the moment that is heartbreakingly dangerous to the most vulnerable.
She really needs someone to take her Twitter access off her and I don’t say that lightly.
If people in the depths of depression thought that a few days of eating well could fix things or that those in the midst of an ED were led to believe that a fortnight on “an espresso diet” could snap them out of a sustained period of eating certain foods (all things she has implied or said outright) then that is a very harmful route to go down (not touching on AA because I don’t want to impinge on others’ very insightful opinions). She is in danger of doing serious damage if let loose with diabetes.
Omg she is sooooo full of it. This is incredible.
How about you don’t tell other peoples personal facts in an interview! How is it confirmed? Do they drag the person in and see if it’s true? Also horrible implications of ‘you must talk to the cleaning staff because they are lowly peasants and therefore please patronise them’
This never happened.
Yep! Currently helping my best friend look for a flat and the state of “first time buyer” properties is shocking, attached a floor plan of an entirely wonky flat that is the result of a larger house being butchered and extended. This is going to keep getting worse as the market slows/declines at the higher end and prices of entry level properties increase due to lack of supply (additionally, a lot of flats are cash buyers only due to cladding or open corridors typical of post war council flats being a no go for lenders).
The Patreon saint of poors has no bleeping idea what it’s like. My friend isn’t even poor - he has 6 figures in cash savings but is a single buyer on the London avg salary and this is all it gets you, in zone 4. Yet Jacqui is mithering about an orangery and the posh tree/plant I can’t remember the name of? She’s on an entirely different bleeping planet.

A request that Andy Millman writes the sitcom. I liked “when the whistle blows”
I’d definitely tune in
From a feminist perspective, I really dislike any mention of HPD. The history of what happened to women who were diagnosed is foul, it was used by abusers to silence them and have them thrown in asylums. It’s been recommended multiple times that it’s thrown out of the DSM. Two screenshots from just one report - there are a lot more out there and it’s disturbing.
The main issue in Manchester is not that they aren't building enough properties, it is that those properties are being bought by BTL landlords (like Jack's father) or overseas investors. They are then rented out at market rates which are unaffordable to many people.
You would think that the huge amounts of building going on here would result in lower rentals, supply and demand and all that, but it really hasn't worked out like that. There are thousands of new properties being built all over Manchester, a building boom the like of which I haven't witnessed since the 1960's. They were the social housing mistakes of Hulme, Salford Precinct, Fort Ardwick, Fort Beswick, Ordsall, Lower Kersal and Ancoates, to name but a few. These failed developments have since been demolished, some barely 30 years after they were built. It is not just as simple as build more.
Building more doesn't necessarily deal with the issue of affordability. I am no expert, so don't understand why greater supply isn't lowering prices, or rental value, but neither is Jack.
