I'm more than surprised she hasn't 'accidently' photographed a full wall plastered with Thank You cards from the eternally grateful poors she saved from actually starving to death over the years.
She probably bought a load of cards intending to write them out but they got lost in the clutter.

She does post photos of her birthday present hauls though!

Anything spenny is fair game, but I'll add whatever fraus want.
My own benchmark is discretionary or 'non-essential' spend in the context of someone who claims to not be able to afford shower gel or 6p for butter instead of lard etc.
Jack moves things around constantly so try to avoid double counting.
Instagram is a literal and figurative gold mine (see TBC spoiler).
If I like your stocktake post it means I've seen it and will include in the next update.
Have fun.
Now duck off x
Why tf does she always have to have feet and arses on kitchen work tops where food is prepared? Feet and arses have NO place on kitchen worktops!

Yeah yet again more pathetic performative bollocks from Jack.

How can she spend so much time pissing about with everything merely to confirm to everyone that she’s an utter twit? It’s impressive.

The ‘call Marcus’ with a picture of a phone next to it is my aneurysm. Total cringe and utterly pathetic.

Still wondering what her next move is. Her return to Twitter hasn’t really worked out as she’d have hoped as she’s still being ridiculed by everyone, save for a few of her goons. I think we’re getting a relapse / rehab / major chaos imminently.
I couldn't agree more. Performative bullshit. Bet hours were wasted on that.

She doesn't have more than one arse does she? Good God, she's vile.

Saw one earlier with SB standing on the kitchen counter with his shoes on :sick:
To be fair to the kid, he was probably sick of his shoes getting dirty every time he walked on the floor.

Hello! What's this about a dildo? I'm not googling it.

When did everyone else realise she's completely deranged? It was the practice run for moving to a one bed for me.

Eta: Looking back, there were a number of signs.
The whole independent restaurants thing then going to Five Guys and Dishoom. Like you there were many many signs but that was just such an obvious lie and contradiction.

Interesting that she talks about her "annual salary" there, which implies that she was paying herself through her ltd company at the time - so she can't get away with claiming that not filing accounts didn't matter because the company was dormant.

How much did you take in dividends, Jack? And how much tax did you pay?

This dish here is £4.50/5.50 depending on size. I know because I also have them 🔺
Thought that pic was meant to be porridge, felt v upset. Realised it’s actually vegetable peeling stuffing / roast or something and feel even more upset. Cheers, kids crying.

I think a big part of Jack's problem with money comes from her main character syndrome. She probably though getting her first book published would be like something out a movie where she ends up sitting by the pool in a big mansion on the back of her book sales whereas the situation for most writers is somewhat less lucrative. Instead of being grateful and making the best of what she did have she's filled with resentment at not having what she deludes herself she's entitled to. Also she's a twit.
I think youvte hit the nail on the head here.
she been brought up believing she's entitled to the good life, the easy life with no effort or hard work. That's for the Jeremy Kyle types. That's why having to go on benefits was such a trauma and she actually believes she's had it worse than anyone else, ever. She said herself, it isn't supposed to happen to the likes of her. The millions of others who have to struggle, Irrelevant. She sees herself as the star of a blockbuster tearjerker of glory of trauma.
