Yep. She could probably get a pretty nice job running cookery workshops in Southend or something along those lines, if she really wanted a quiet life but the thing is she's being dishonest. Jack is interested in fame above all else.

Seriously, if I had any job that made me as miserable as this one does to her, I'd look for something else. She is not enjoying it all.
She needs a holiday and a fairly decent one at that, during which she writes a informative post on twitter to say, look guys off on a virtual holiday, as off such and such time today I will be turning off all phones except for my landline for emergencies. Will pick up emails when I return until then take care.
Then go and spend some of your newly earned money and have a bit of fun.

The problem is, Grunka, as we have repeatedly seen, that she is not prepared to take responsibility and do the work needed to get herself better.
She positively revels in being a victim and I think without it she literally has no identity, so in a weird way it's safer and easier for her to stay as she is.
I find her behaviour so depressing and exhausting. She actually makes me really angry
Genuinely don't understand why she doesn't do this. Hasn't she already admitted to having about 9 different alts? Ah, but I'm guessing none of them have the follower numbers her main one does, which means she'll get less ATTENTION.
Can’t say I’m surprised. No-one else is doing this but her. She needs to stop using Twitter as an emotional blanket - really stay off it for weeks. All she does is use it to shout into an empty abyss.
I am one of her supposed target audience. I have little money, only basic cooking experience (can make stews casseroles full roast, but don't have much imagination) and receive foodbank stuff from time to time.
When my foodbank box arrives and there's something in it that don't know how use, couscous for instance, I turn to Google. I Google "item" plus "easy recipe". I can categorically state that never has one of her recipes come up to assist. Though many, many others do. I actually find BBC the best resource.
I know some cannot afford internet, so Google is not always available, so a book can be useful, though she's already covered that. Though there are many, many better budget cookbooks out there.
The four bedsits on my landing (studio apartments they are called on my agreement) share 1 internet connection between us. The router is just outside my neighbours door (it's her connection) and we all chip in each month. We have found our own way to overcome at least that difficulty. I had better warn next door, JM triangulation skills will lead to her, so she had better watch her back.

Re mouth ulcers. I'm sure what I had was nothing compared to those with cancer/chemotherapy but when my child was a baby I had horrible big, painful mouth ulcers. To the extent where I couldn't concentrate on anything but the burning pain of them. The only thing that worked was an oral gel called Adcortyl in Orabase. It kind of cemented over the raw bit and gave a lot of relief. Then they bloody discontinued it!
That's the thing. Her 'job' is maintaining her fame/climbing that ladder. She's terrified that if she logs off for a single SECOND, people will forget about her. It's never been about providing advice and recipes, she just can't bear the thought of becoming old news. She'd rather be notorious than happy.
I agree with this. I think we forgot our place yesterday when we were discussing 80s/90s/00s nostalgia, Jack had to dramatically steer us back to her.
those two comments we saw on insta yesterday that appeared to set her off were very tame and easily ignorable and clearly not clever enough to be anyone here. Something about punctuation ffs!
Her twitter is extremely unbalanced. She has her hardcore fans that overly praise her to the point of being patronising and probably quite suffocating. Then if she receives anything that’s not adoration, even just a fair criticism or difference of opinion she goes ape tit. It’s not healthy.
I genuinely think this place is the kindest, funniest most balanced place to be, she just doesn’t know how to handle criticism. And she will be criticised and called out until she starts behaving professionally.
She’s veering down the KH train of fame. All be it left leaning.
The twitter antifa to Hopkins alt right.
This completely. She can’t stand the thought of being irrelevant - all the grasping on to her situation of years ago, her glossing over of facts now. She is desperate to still be known as that poor, single mother who was forced to sell her child’s toys - when in fact she is more than comfortable.
But she only really tweets about herself. Not sure there's much political at all any more.
And can we even call her that lefty now she's promoting the Torygraph and is best buds with Sarah Vine
The worst thing is she only started the LL when THAT MAN stole HER job and was muscling in on her niche!
the LL was on at the same time as his show! (Pathetic) she even complained on twitter about how much work it was to tweet “bung it in a curry” a million times. It then fizzled out once DK was commissioned only to be revived when the show didn’t get renewed and she didn’t laugh up a lung. It’s been very hit and miss ever since. She’s just not consistent.Yes social media is part of her job but she could have easily done it for an hour a night mon - fri and I’m sure she would have got some media attention for it.
Why doesn’t she have a social media manager?!
Wtf has she done? The only children not going to bed not hungry are because of that campaign that footballer (cannot remember his name ) ddI. She has don’t nothing tangible to help anyoneView attachment 170644
First off, physical violence, nice. Secondly,
So sorry for any untagged chat. Hope you are ok.
I believe her when she says she wouldn't wish fame on anyone. I think she's fully aware of the monster she's created, even though she has no intention of stepping back. These cycles are becoming more and more frequent, the high becoming shorter and shorter, and the low becoming deeper every time. I think she genuinely would like someone to scoop her up and take her away from it all, but I think she spends so much time online she completely neglects any 'real' friends she may have.
Aramis was the smell of the 80's for me, I loved it. Until.....a real slimy, smarmy guy at work started wearing it. I instantly hated the stuff.

Vanessa Feltz and the chalkboard table.For those that missed her swiftly deleted tweet of last night, I wanted to give an explanation of what it was. Popping it behind a spoiler as although it didn't say much technically (same two words repeatedly) it did have sinister vibes and I found it freaky
the tweet was the words "not okay" repeated over and over multiple times. Whether she was referring to herself or to what trolls say who knows. But it made me uneasy! Like something that pops up on a computer screen in a horror film scene or something! Shudder.
Hmmmm I don't know if I agree - I think she loves the attention and if anything the 'trolls' allow her to continue to be a victim worthy of sympathy and attention, despite having a very successful career, being a Groucho club member and owning three freezers.
She has had the opportunity to do this at least twice with the wealthy girlfriends. She has a craving for fame in her own right. Attention seeker extraordinaire.
