And then a bit of poor fishing about God forbid she wants even a meagre thing for herself such as a stable home.
They had a yard sale in Hollyoaks to save a house, didn't work, maybe Jackie is a fan of the show? lol.

And unless you have proper desirable stuff for resale, you ain't getting a house, or even much added to the deposit. I did a car boot a few weeks back to help add to a new sofa fund. Much more realistic, made about half of what I need, was bloody hard work though.

We love dull Jack.

Vinted Jack is going to be epic. Not as fun as Tile Jack or trifle Jack but definitely up there.

Will this be her first sale do we think?

BiB I have a ton of stuff piling up in my spare room that I'm planning on putting on Vinted. Maybe seeing if can make more than Jack for my stuff is the incentive I need to get off my arse.

I hope she realises she won't be able to facetune her frumpy clothes for selling them or they'll all be sent back to her as "not as described".

Her dog will inherit the problems of its owner, the poor thing
A truer word never spoken. Please excuse a proud moment: every single one of my animals (regardless of their background of rescue or whatever) has been happy with me, relaxed, confident, kind. I, who often think/know I'm quite deranged and who manages my depression more or less actively, consider it my good achievement and a sign I'm inherently okay in my "heart".

Now, a friend or two have some very neurotic animals: JUST SAYING!!

I’m glad it’s not just me who thinks this. If she carries on this trajectory she’ll be Ena Sharples by 2025.
Gay men analysis = harsh? honest TRUE!

It’s the suggestion that by wanting to sell rather than donate her old clothes she’s not doing the approved middle class lefty thing. To her this is a slight and she quite literally can’t bear to be slighted, so she’s compelled to snap back with whatever answer she thinks will put the other person in their place and make her look good.

I have finally the shitty bungalow! Thanks to hellmans and Jack’s descriptions and interior shots.

The irony is, of course, you could fashion a smol-pixie-sized mannequin out of grated corned-beef, buy a selection of Jack's grimy cast-offs (pre-fame life or post-fame life, I'm not fussy), drape your meaty horrorshow in your reasonably-priced new additions, and this glistening new golem-like version of Jack would, over the next year, improve the lives of the disadvantaged and downtrodden by EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT as the real one.

Just think if Harold hadn't dumped Jack, she could have used his big car to do her very own car boot sale.

Why would you need to describe the exact bird?! Just say “bird printed thing for sale” she not archiving clothes for the Costume Institute. Ffs
Dear Jack

It's the common Performative Dickhead Bird. HTH!

Yep. It’s truly just a hop skip and a SEVERELY arthritic jump away from matronly Downing Street Charwoman Jack to full on Ena.

Yes. We have worked really hard, and we don't need Jack as an ambassador depending how she feels

Don't most people over the age of about 7 known that's what a Crane (or Stork, it's close enough if you can't be arsed to think about Googling Japanese bird fabric) looks like?
