On another blog, didn’t she say she had to sell her car? Why would you have a car if you didn’t drive it.
I did read something about this - I think on her archived blog posts. She said something along the lines of she'd bought a car in a fit of enthusiasm/optimism whilst taking lessons - I think whilst working at the Fire Service pre-SB. Presumably this was at an early stage of the process and she hadn't encountered many roundabouts.

Agreed. I was just reading through the comments on twitter. She's jumped the shark with that one. Someone has posted a screenshot of smartprice shower gel which is 16p! It's incredulous that you would boil bits of soap together rather than buy that. There's lots of 'I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt but...'

Also whatever she’s paying for meds to ‘keep her functional’ - maybe she should ask for her money back?
Nobody tell her if you get diagnosed with hypothyroid you get free prescriptions for life ..for all prescriptions not just your levothyroxine....I feel a new condition coming on....

THANKYOUVERYMUCH. I have been looking for that disgusting (now deleted) tweet. Can you imagine the uproar if the Tories announced they were bringing in higher charges or only having certain medications available privately to stop the plebs abusing them?

It's so ignorant- look at the opiate crisis in the USA. It's affected people of all classes but obviously hit the poorest hardest as they have fewer options for addiction treatment and support. Prince died as a result of his prescription opiate addiction and there have been many well off people who have had similar issues. Anyone can become an addict. Jack is a snob and a SH1TTER.

Sometimes it's the smallest of things that make the penny drop for people

Also there's the minor ailments service provided at pharmacies through NHS. And if you are on a low income you can get free prescriptions in England (I think. Scottish Frau here)

I think there is a massive cloud of fear that JM has engineered that has the blue ticks and journos deciding it’s not worth the threat of litigation or flying monkeys?

Wonder if she still uses the pan she used to boil soap to make her slop creations? Like when she’s tasting her Sadness Soup or Fuckmehard Fettucini, does she get a hint of value soap?

It’s mad as a pineapple. Am I the only person left in the world who washes with bar soap in the shower?
I see you, my frau, and stand with you in bar soaper solidarity. Pretty sure Immigrant Jack will use the same one as me. Also mad as a (tampon stuffed) pineapple has me

Anyone who would describe themselves as a 'Ronseal human being' may as well erect a neon sign telling the world they are a big fat fraud. The most honest people I know have one thing in common, they never make a point of telling everyone (at length) how honest they are. They don't have to. People know.

A bit of 2017 Jack for you. There were rabbits, Dame Viv (RIP) was at the dry cleaners so Jack was slumming it in her neon Calvins and people LITERALLY WANTED HER DEAD for being a Terf. What an eventful life Jack has.

Seeing Jack declare that the Vibrating Buttocks Index has been delayed by the actions of mendacious trolls has brought me a strange kind of peace. Either I have ascended to a higher plane of enlightenment or I am misinterpreting my aneurysm.

Quoting myself to say the higher plane has worn off now.

Scrambling to catch up with my work and wondering what my boss would say if I said I was delayed because of the (in this case delightful) activity of people on the internet? I almost feel like she might, just might, not consider that a valid excuse for not delivering the expected work...
