Won’t use clubcards to give Mr Evil Tesco her data (missing out on money off promotions and vouchers) but will happily sign up to Asda with her email address for all receipts

Back to yesterday, Jack must be fucking insufferable to serve at Asda.
Can you imagine that looming over you making sure you’re making out the receipt ‘properly’ and staring you dead in the face like

Fully expecting you to leap from your chair and cry “By gord! As I live and breathe! It’s only the famous Jack Mon-bloody-roe!”

I had no idea who LP was so went to Google and spotted her Wiki. Interestingly, she too has PTSD (although hers is CPTSD) - did Jack claim to have this before she met this woman? Or was it never mentioned until afterwards? #genuinequestion

They do look somewhat alike, although LP is slightly "better looking" (IMHO), so I can understand them being mistaken for one another ~from a distance~
LP is a "proper" writer though, with award nominations and stuff - something that could make a not-so-successful and definitely NOT THAT FAMOUS writer jealous. That's the extent of my knowledge and I'll stop there, or I'll end up down another twatter-style rabbit hole!

Jack is a bit like Hunch: they both think they're so famous that everyone knows them, yet nobody outside their niches has even heard of them.

The smile that never reaches the eyes, the dead shark stare, the death breath and vague whiff of sulphur and human misery.

She obviously groups things together on the conveyor belt and makes the cashier ring up the sub total after each group of items has been scanned. No way the cashier did that herself. I bet she's spends ages faffing around at the checkout driving everyone in the queue nuts.

Lurker here! Always check in on the threads but they move waaaay to quickly for me to keep up! Can anyone tell me what this was about? She comes across as so unlikeable it’s unreal

BTW who the fuck does a 5-step shopping list without a meal plan? She's planning to batch cook this weekend, but has no idea what she's batch cooking? Train the dog to do the groceries, Jack, she'll do a better job than you!
Back of the net!
Batch cooked spicy spite spinach with a side order of banana bitterness and resentment radish. Petulance pears to follow. Fennel and fish finger fury next week served with mendacious mash (obvs).

Laurie’s CPTSD was bought on by someone taking the piss out of her in a review of her book.

LP is also a lesbian who is married to a man.

She also mentioned using the milk man (perhaps using is the wrong word... poor man) so THAT cost also needs to be added in to her cheapo budgeto!
Blimey, by the time she's added in the milk man, Tesco, late night Tesco Express rescues, dog food, cat food/litter, toiletries etc, her weekly shop must be nearer £100 than it is to £20!

More than likely she flipped thru the book and said, that one, that one, and that one
