Or, indeed, the lying behind her behaviour
Totally agree with what you say (although I don't consider 50 middle aged...now I'm mid 60s ha!). Youthful up to 25, young 25-50, middle aged 51-70, mature 70-90. Then we're old.)

Of course she wants it to sink, she’s got all that money for working on it.

Aaargh. Sometimes I think the people who reply to her are worse than she is. 500 ways to break your teeth. It’s just not interesting

I think she got carried away at the beginning and embellished without deliberate malice. But now, she's become so addicted to attention and validation that she lies and obfuscates out of malice in order to keep it going. And she is increasingly trapped by this.

She will think she is invincible due to getting away with the tax thing.

the tooth Crumbling and 3 scissor mentions were all just to wind us up as it is clear the squiggs don’t pay attention or are so far up her arse they are coming out of her ouchy mouth.

I’m way behind so I’m sure it’ll have been said, but why, and how, would she be using a tooth towards the back of her mouth to open a packet?

You're so very, very special. Now tell me all about your amazingly special self.


That'll be £350, please. Same time next week?

She's like a disgusting child boasting about farting all the time but without the comforting knowledge that they'll eventually grow out of it. All that eating in bed, poor dental hygiene and then incredibly actually boasting about it is revolting. If she was actually serious about being a campaigner, she wouldn't be constantly sharing way too much information like this. No wonder Borbora HATED her.*


* Became vaguely aware of a repellent smelly presence and promptly forgot her when she moved on. Until the stalking started.

This blog post is disgusting. So insulting to both struggling and recovering alcoholics and addicts, to suggest that you can go from a bottle of spirits a day drinker to 'don't need it' in 2 weeks. Able to sip red wine and casually toss it away. That's not the way the disease works. And then immediately to ask for money! She is a ghoul and I do not believe she has ever been or is now in real recovery as a true AA member would recognise.

I believe she goes to AA purely because AA is a paradise for narcs....people have no choice but to listen to you talk about yourself and show you love and support back. I also don't believe she's ever been a true alcoholic or addict (although she may have abused substances, prescribed, legally bought or otherwise, either now or in the past).

A real addict in recovery would simply not be this arrogant and wrong.

A. Because she's wacky! She's zany! She's a maverick l'il pixie who is ripping up the rule book! A born anarchist!

OR

B. She's repulsive and gets a kick out of slobbering over packets of rolls.

Her knowledge and skills were highest when she had Allegra doing everything for her (imho)

Hope big Dave gets older than Methuselah and Jack never gets her mitts on any of his houses .

If she cares about fires, why not use her considerable platform to do something about climate change and the scary heat that led to those fires, rather than talking about herself.

Oh it's Jack, who can only talk about herself.
She'd need to find a way to centre herself in it. Something like "during The Poverty I was lapping from a puddle in the street because I couldn't afford water, when I was kicked aside by an evil Tory. Denied moisture, I burst into flames as the Tories danced round me singing "burn, baby burn, povvo inferno" and chanting "shut your legs". It is only thanks to the NHS and my fire fighting skills that I was able to survive this horrible ordeal".

So she's asking people to sponsor her going 'sober' for a month in the same post where she's just said that she's actually already slipped and had a few sips of wine?
