Yes when people pointed out the ridiculousness of this scenario (here and on twitter) Jack started back pedalling frantically saying well of COURSE the correct procedures had been followed and why should she have to go into every detail. And she hadn't gone into detail for security reasons - not showing off and fibbing reasons at all.

"I was having a pint with Billy Bragg..."
One line in and the smugness is off the charts

"We blew up beds and pegged in groundsheets, and I started to write my speech for the next day."
Nothing but thorough

ETA: she'd given the same speech "a hundred times before". I love facts

Three days? I don’t think it’s even been 48hrs. Jack time has struck once again.
Plus - her poor poor kid (who now has to fight for attention even more so) will have been at school for at least 8-12 of those hours (if he is even there which I highly doubt).

I think Martin Lewis has always been a chimp but with the financial state of the country following years of austerity, Tories, brexit etc his ego has exploded.

I bet he was expecting a response similar to this for his request to become a Lord and just waved through - arise lord Martin Lewis:

What does this mean, please?
It's mostly used as a guide for rescue dogs. Also called the 333 rule. But is relevant for puppies too. It's a very rough guideline of how your new dog will settle and change once you bring them home over 3 days/3 weeks/3 months (and beyond).

I see we've had no update on Coops after his visible distress caused her so much amusement. I hope he fucks off and moves in with a Tory.

Teacher: “Class, I want you to write a few sentences about what you did during the holidays.”
Jack: “On Thursday morning, we loaded up the car, and began the three-hour trip, including an exciting drive past Stonehenge.”

I have a real soft spot for Martin Lewis - I have mentioned before that his website/advice and, in particular the debt management stuff is definitely the reason I am not in debt after drowning in extremely poor money management (albeit 20 odd years ago now!). The forum in particular was a big big help and is probably my oldest “log in” / user name apart from my hotmail account.

Must admit to a bit of eyerolling myself lately though (sadly - because I do think he genuinely does help and MASSIVELY helped me through the last two decades of financial management)

I'm guessing this is in response to the dog-owning friend that said to Jack, "It's time." ? Had it been anyone else, I don't think they would have got the emoji

Is she literally taking the piss? How can she admit to having a big garden in which she walks her brand new probably £2000 ish designer puppy, while in the same breath claiming to be skint?

Is she just testing how far she can push her bullshitting?

A good friend works for Citizens Advice and says he’s one of the few “experts” they have vetted and will endorse. He may be a bit of a twat and have an enlarged ego but I do think he is helpful for a lot of people.

There are similarities, he got shitty on Twitter because people called him a sell out, his response was something along the lines of he's 'been shrieking, shouting and pleading with the government'. I thought it was not far off a howling and clawing .

The great plot twist will be Coops running away to live with the doxed landlady, with Jack on the streets, in her dressing gown and a cup of tea, trying to lure him back with a rucksack goat leg.
