WOW. Thank you Scarlett this is some delicious piping hot tea 🫖

I KNEW Leggy dodged a bullet.

Thinking about HH2 when she can't afford shower gel or shampoo, apart from the Metro, has she ever touched upon period products?
I've no idea how expensive the products are now - that ship has thankfully sailed for me.
Same same my friend But yeah the good stuff is more expensive and yes I wish she had used her platform to speak on this. Menstruation should be talked about more in public discourse imho. Period poverty is a massive thing. Especially for post partum mums experiencing severe poverty. But Jack doesn’t care…she just wants to narcisstically ram sob stories of the bloodcatching Metro down our throats. Or into our underwear. Sorry guys.

I feel for you, I remember being at school and being the last to finish eating and the tables being put away because I didn’t want to finish everything on my plate but I had to finish everything.

I know this is slightly off topic but Ainsley has a new World Cup themed show, Karl Kennedy from neighbours is on it wearing a hat like what Jack would wear and unfortunately @MancBee your recent anecdote has ruined this for me!

Jack has been awfully quiet this past day or two. Hopefully we can have a chaos later!

The drinking formula thing never made sense to me. As formula is way more expensive than milk. I can SORT of understand throwing a teeny bit in your coffee if you were out of milk and couldn’t drink it black. But the way Jack tells it, she was knocking back glasses of formula, which makes zero sense when it’s so much more expensive gram for gram than a pint of semi skim. Or a jar of coffee whitener. Makes no sense.

Even toddlers have to be corralled into her service!!!

Yeah she’s got some serious munching issues tbh. It’s part of her weird self image, in this case she kinda sees herself like Jude from A Little Life or that annoying consumptive bitch from Old Curiousity Shop: this poor fragile disabled traumatised waif who bravely staggers on whilst everyone around her performs heroic acts of self sacrifice to try to keep her alive.

I will never not laugh when I remember that she was unceremoniously dumped by the OH she described as "refreshingly ordinary"

Thanks for the info frau, this does not surprise me at all. I can only imagine how toxic she was in the lesbian community back then. Please be careful in case she could identify you - she is a vindictive cow.

I’m sure it’s been discussed before but newspaper sanitary towels? About as real as Toothpaste For Dinner Man. Talk about a recipe for a chaffed chuff.

Honestly, she’s just exhausting.
I've never done any of those things, but I have been very poor at times.
I've dissolved the stockcube in water and pretended it's soup.
Formula tastes rank. And in any case it was my baby's food, which I would never have taken. I did shoplift milk once on the bottom of my buggy.
Bog roll (can be from a public toilet) is what most people do for a makedo sanitary pad, or cut up an old towel or a nappy.
I've done all these things and more, that doesn't make me an authority on poverty or a spokesman for all the 'povs' like Jack thinks she is. Everyone has different experiences.

...and she managed to turn his "you need to see a doctor" parting shot into an oh-so-amusing escapade involving her offering pumble to anyone on Tinder who happened to be wearing scrubs.

Relationship status: acting like an angry 14 year old.

What was the context of SB sitting beside her all night checking she was breathing? Ill or drunk, do we know?

But apparently she’s never added up her shopping as she’s gone round which must be peak ‘god I’m bloody skint’ territory.

I think it says a lot about her that she’s had these two high profile relationships with extremely well off women and both times has failed to seal the deal (hello maintenance!) because she is just. so. awful. They must like her initially for some reason! (Don’t think of whisks don’t think of whisks…dammit)

She used that "anecdote" to garner sympathy for her alcoholism. I don't believe it myself, I think she co-opted an experience as she does with most things. If it did happen, she shouldn't have shared it at all. It's not a flex to put your child through trauma.

It’s irritating that nothing much has been said about her gushing article about her son’s father where she clearly states he’s been there right from the start and has never left her high and dry.

Then she also mentions all the network of family and cousins who’ve been around since the start as well.
It disgusts me because I always thought it was her against the world - a gritty warrior singled-handedly taking on the system.
What a load of shite.
This alone reveals the lies and the grift, why has the mainstream ignored it? Absolute pisstake. People are so, so stupid.

Yeah and was so heartbroken she was on Tinder looking for cock (preferably medical) and telling 570k of her nearest and dearest ~and us~ she was apparently about to marry someone else she’d never actually met barely 9 days later. Boo.


And…

Still, life goes on…

Oh PS she didn’t deactivate “for a bit” either cos she was gleefully posting about OH on 17th then HE LEFT on 19th. A Sunday when a grenade was tossed in her life (I looked up the day/date combo to be FORENSIC)
