So if she isn’t poor now (hate that word btw so only going to use it from now on when quoting her), why does she still have her tip thing open on Twitter and is permanently shaking that PayPal jar?

Sorry that wasn’t me being rude! The market is ever changing so who’s to know unless you’re a literal broker or reading T&Cs for fun. Banks are freaking out atm, we were applying for a product only to be told it was withdrawn the day before because the (mainstream) lender didn’t want anymore xyz on their books. Mortgage valuations are knocking double digit %s off of agent valuations. The stamp duty holiday has made valuations really hard for everyone tbh. It’s hard out there at the mo and if she really is meeting with advisors or brokers they should be telling her all of this. Moreover she’s not got time on her side if she wants to take advantage of the 35 year mortgage terms given to FTB to help with affordability checks/manageable monthly repayments.
Also we’ve not even mentioned stamp duty in all of this, she’ll get some discount for being a FTB but then it’s another 5% (I think?) over £xk on top! Then legal fees, moving fees… like unless she has a huge lifestyle overhaul or meets someone earning well her buying anything much less a £530k property is an unlikely scenario.
She does love to have the final flounce, but she'll be back in 5 minutes, peeping thru the bannister asking for a glass of water
Jack will probably pick some picture perfect house that requires a chancel search and numerous mining and flooding searches.
She doesn’t have a clue.
The cynic in me wonders if she’s looking at the probable global recession and a fifth of the civil service being laid off in the next three years and rubbing her minty hands together thinking “the time for me and my poverty porn and my budget cookbooks is now”. Like she’s genuinely pegging the misfortune of the many as an opportunity to increase her wealth.
That and, of course, the fact that she’s been netting well above the average salary for a decade now, reckless spending and CCJs or not.
I don't think she plans much ahead at all. Most of her bandwagon jumping seems ill-prepared.
Stamp duty for £530k is £16.5k
Loool no words just looool

Hehe. I'm dealing with that right now with my 17 year old SB who was very very hungover today. Out out last night, on fake ID, as all working teenagers should be
.If only she hadn’t bought those sideboards…
(ETA- thought peeps might appreciate some Fassbender on Friday night
).
I feel horrible saying this, because I honestly have so much respect for anyone going through recovery, but the way Jack mentions it, at times like this, it just seems manipulative, as if she’s trying to guilt trip anyone who says anything negative to her.
Absolutely wasn’t taken as rude! I’m *very* ignorant to the finer details of the UK housing market, so appreciate the explanations
It’s interesting to read how difficult it is, sounds like a complete nightmare..
The landlady now suddenly 'living across the street but they don't speak' is an odd development to the story isn't it? She never mentioned it before and couldn't have been nicer about her when she was allowed to destroy sheds and basically do whatever she wanted to the place but now she's trying to start a 'Jack's landlady is an evil bat' hate mob on Twitter? Stranger than fiction eh?
I’m so sorry to break it to you, but it’s Saturday.If only she hadn’t bought those sideboards…

Also, the good thing is with the sideboards (and Tiffany earrings, good coat, £200 alarm clock etc) when the time comes, she can sell it all! Remember the success she had with selling her Monsoon dress on eBay…
I’d have to be desperate to cook the slop from her books! She’s probably rubbing her hands together as she thinks there will be less people to chase her for her taxes!
She seems rattled by this and is not giving her usual egotistical comebacks. She has been cornered!
I have to agree with you. I also felt the way she said she was “fizzing” for the year anniversary of her sobriety was a bit off.
Please, please correct me if I am wrong here, but it just seemed as though she was being childishly excited (as though it was something that she was going to show off about) for this milestone, rather than it being an intrinsic event that would be celebrated internally, without fanfare.

Has she tweeted anything in support of the big cost of living crisis protest in London today?
At least the soiled mulberry bag is still increasing in value daily
