That article came out three days after she invaded Tattle. Looks like deleting the social apps and replacing the 'self flagellation' with exercise really worked out for her aha.

Adding Naf Naf jumpers to the list and Benetton drawstring bags, oh and if you were a girl of between the age of 11 and 14 at my high school and didn't own a pair of Kickers boat shoes you were basically a social pariah.

Oh, I used to love Naf Naf and Chipie too, lived in the stuff back in the day.

The holiday moan is total BOLLOCKS as per. A quick scroll of her Instagram shows, the lakes, Edinburgh, Seville and Cyprus all since May 2018.

You misread her tweet, she was clearly asking "for a friend"

The holiday thing is yet more lying crap. Do you think she believes because she tweets whilst away, that it's 'working' not holidaying?

She also uploaded pics of the food she ate while away onto insta. Nice working holiday if you can get it!

Welcome to fucking freelancing, Jack. If worrying about not having ongoing regular work/income stresses you out to this degree then you need to get a regular paychecked job.

Jack can speak for her (purposely obtuse) self in regard to this (very rational) suggestion...

Jack thinks ANY tweeting is work, which is why I believe her when she says she 'works' 20 hour days

Black cats are the best. Even when they bring in mice and leave scattered innards on the living room carpet for barefooted people to tread on in the morning.

help i need some help!

I was obsessed with Miss Selrfirdge make up.... i mean Iron Lady lipstick and at one point had collected nearly the whole range. I have never been able to get on with purples as eyeshadow, I always end up looking like I have a black eye. Purple is the best colour though. I love my purple DMs.

Loved that mascara despite the fact it barely showed on my dark lashes.

Isn't this how every self employed/business owner lives? Their buisness is only viable as long as the contracts keep rolling in. Self employed generally means no regular work. That niggling fear that what you do isn't permanent is because, what you do ISN'T permanent you dickhead. If you want permanence, you get salaried employment, though even that doesn't provide security these days..

Many in salaried employment are now facing redundancies, so she can fuck off with her niggling fear. They are facing the reality of financial difficulties looming, whilst she sits in her cotswold co/ smeg showroom surroundings. The woman has no shame.

On top of that, she may have lost contracts and money due to covid, but she has had two lucrative contracts directly because of covid. She fucked up both of them. Give it your best shot? Well your best shot just isn't good enough.

I snuck back to see if B and Dill had any likes! Thank you, cabal! Black cats are wonderful, except when you talk to a box for a good minute because you don't have your glasses

ALSO (I’m on one now à la Monroe) I think one of her problems is that she cannot stand subjectivity? I would go as far as to say she does not understand it, hence why everything she comes out with is grotesquely exaggerated

She portrays being a “single parent with no childcare” (implying SB’s dad is not involved) is the worst thing ever. As I said, I am a lone parent, it’s difficult but the given situation is positive in the way that choosing to be a lone parent was the best decision I could make. On the contrary, I have friends who share responsibility but it’s not necessarily easy for them. Some have wildly different approaches to parenting / life and struggle with agreeing on issues as emotive and divisive as vaccinations. Some just can’t ever get along. Sometimes the other parent is just involved out of feeling that they should be and it shows. And even if you’re now incompatible sexuality wise, I imagine it’s still hard seeing them move on and wondering what could have been and why it went wrong - even just briefly

It’s complicated, and I’d have complete empathy if she was open and honest about her issues with co-parenting. Instead she just tells the lies she thinks will get her maximum sympathy on Twitter

I've been freelancing for 10 years and in my niche (ahem), it really is feast or famine. I've had yearly contracts, monthly contracts, ad-hoc daily work and one-off projects, interspersed with sometimes long gaps of no work at all. Because of that, I have to be really disciplined with finances and keeping enough over for the taxman, and for periods like now, when work is hard to come by.

That means forgoing expensive purchases, holidays and so on and keeping enough in savings to cover being out of work or unexpected bills. It's risky and anxious at times but that's the nature of freelancing and I enjoy it.

My point is that she's been freelancing long enough to know all of this, but still chooses to paint herself as a church mouse scrabbling around for crumbs. Like others have said, she could go do salaried work in a kitchen, in catering or something related. But no, much easier to moan and whinge and play the martyr.

So.... after lurking for maybe.... 36 threads I have finally built up the courage to set up an account and post, the holiday lies being the final straw! .. You are all fabulous and have got me through leaving my teaching career and suffering a case of “general meh ” . I cannot add to anything that hasn’t already been said.
However, I would like to add that on a short walk into town this morning, I bumped into my hairdresser and on on me commenting on how challenging lockdown had been for everyone, simply said, have you seen how far the bootstrap cook has fallen?
