She just looks to me like a pearl clutching 45 year old lady in old pics. Screams middle/upper class to me. She would've been in her 20s! She's the same age as me, I would've been in ripped jeans and a NIN t-shirt and still am lol. PS I always giggle every time I see your username, as it reminds me of a great Limmy sketch, that has to be where it's from, right?!

A proper LED Par can and tripod would be cheaper. And she could change the colour mix to not look quite so deathly crap.

Matt fans, you seen the new barclays advert? Hes in a bear costume 
Mr D knows I twit about on the internet talking crap and recipes and sometimes, when a programme requires a particular level of pisstaking, asks me to fire up Twitter to see what the funniest comments are.
He doesn't need to know more than that, has no particular interest and, in turn, I have no dealings with him talking tit on the internet about bands and music.

Yeah that’s what I thought, even the more conservative women that age don’t wear that sort of thing! Very bizarre and never seemed to fit with either her personal style or vibes she was trying to give off? I understand wanting to cover the tattoos, in which case basic long sleeved tops would’ve been cheap and looked fine
Aye, gis a chocolate chooks! He’s hilarious isn’t he? Delaying changing my profile photo as I’m still attached to Matt Hancock
@Pocahontas my husband sees it on my phone. Thought it was Mumsnet which I swiftly corrected him on but haven't went into detail about it. He used to comment on a football forum when we first met (he even made real world friends through it) so I think he'd understand. But I quite like having this space to myself.
I discuss it with my husband and give him funny updatesEvening, fraus.
So - genuine question, while it’s relatively quiet here. Of those of you with significant others, do they know that you are a Tattler? Mine didn’t until yesterday. I’ve been on here since the whole Mother of Daughters / Alice drama, but I never disclosed what I was doing - just said I was on ‘a forum’ if he asked, and he never asked for details. Obviously my usage has upped because of covid and less work, but he always assumed I was whatsapping friends and I never corrected him. I was embarrassed about it, and didn’t want him to feel sorry for me? We moved to a new area about 18 months ago and apart from school mum friends, I don’t have any ‘good good’ friends near to me to ring up for a socially distanced meet up, and when I message best friends who live hours away, I don’t bore them with the plights of Jack Monroe
Annnnnyway - I’ll get to the point, sorry. Yesterday was really grim, wasn’t it - the whole kitten thing was really upsetting - and I got myself wound up about it all (as lots of us did). I actually needed to talk about it, so I told him all about Jack Monroe (I’ve mentioned her before to him - about her rinsing beans) and he knows ‘she’s the one who sued Katie Hopkins’) but I told him everything else, showed him the pics on her twitter, showed him some of her posts when she visited here, told him all about the poverty pretense. And it felt really liberating just to talk to him about it! (I never thought he’d be bothered - and he kind of isn’t about the MOD stuff - who can blame him).
Once enlightened, and also ‘Why does she get away with it??’, he suggested that all of us on here ‘take her down’
I explained that it’s strictly against the rules, and that we’re not trolls - and we can’t do that sort of thing. Like at best we can hope someone comes and has a look out of curiosity. But most of her followers have taken some sort of weird devotion drug, right? He thought it was a shame we couldn’t go and infiltrate her thread with the truth. I said I didn’t want to get banned for breaking the rules!
Anyway, once I explained about Tattle and what it is - yes, critical discussion and a forum to share our thoughts on about the untruths and discrepancies, but also that it’s a lot of fun, and really supportive, and really kind, he was pleased that I had somewhere I had to go and chat with ‘mates’. I showed him some of my posts, and he was bemused (cos of the in jokes), but he liked my Jack’s Rap
Anyway, it just felt really good to (a) talk to someone about her, cos it felt like too much yesterday, and (b) tell him about Tattle (he thinks the name is funny
Just genuinely wondering if, the ones here who have significant others, know that they tattle? And do you talk to them about the rollercoaster of Jackie when it gets too much?
ETA: Sorry if this question is annoying to people without a significant other. Really don’t want to offendJust ignore!
He gets it, though I do have to try and explain some in jokes to him. Bless him he was very bemused the other day when I told him to "hang on a minute, I'm just looking for an appropriate picture of Jimmy Nail"
No, like yours my DH thinks I am on facebook or whatsapp. But he also spends a lot of time getting lost in the youtube rabbit hole (so do i to be fair) and a lot of my tattling is done stood next to the oven waiting for dinner to cook, or at night when he is asleep and I can't drift off. I think he'd think I am a terrible troll, ahah.

My other half only knows I'm a tattler after my mini breakdown last night when i was sobbing my heart out and said 'the cabal are so nice' so I then had to explain what I meant by the cabal!Evening, fraus.

The setup has fancier furniture than my mother's house. I'm not against people having nice furniture but don't cry poor one second and shoe off serious fancy furniture the next.
I told my sister a few weeks ago that I was on here. I don’t know if I named the site but I did say it was a gossip forum but I said I was really enjoying chatting about likeminded things, learning, having laughs.
Being in a shielded household I’ve barely seen any friends at all - well, none, just family members here and there out on the driveway or in the garden. I have a small circle of friends anyway but I’m one of those people who doesn’t really “do” phone calls or FaceTime, I’m more bound to text. Which isn’t really conducive to catching up with friends and having a gossip as someone’s always putting their phone down, working, got dinner to cook, can’t be arsed etc.
Here I’ve been able to check in every day to chat and continue conversations and have a laugh and it’s been truly lovely and, if I’m honest, a bit of a lifeline. It’s been a little bit like the days of going to work in an office then every now and then someone nipping by to see if you watched that program last night, or someone coming back with the teas and gossing about something they saw on the net. Honestly speaking, it’s the nearest thing to socialising I’ve done these last few months.

Husband knows about it because he keeps seeing me snort with laughter while looking at my phone and wants to know what’s so funny. I try to explain the jokes if I can but he’s nothing less than nonplussed.

Also - all day today whenever I've been on my phone he's said 'are you on your forum? They seem like nice people from what you've said so I hope you are' 
Mr LF is a lovely lovely man and I don't know what i did to deserve him

Your story sounds a lot like mine, I also first started lurking on this site during MOD/Alicegate put of sheer nosiness. I was thrillled when I discovered the JM thread had started up (I thought nobody else had noticed how bonkers her tit was). I'm currently living in the US so not only does nobody here have a clue about her existence, when I have any downtime in the evenings everyone back home is sleeping.Evening, fraus.

I tried to explain the JM situation to my husband a week or two ago but it's really difficult to give the full picture. All the small inconsistencies over the years following her are difficult to explain without sounding like an obsessed lunatic. He's just glad I'm not attempting any more of her recipes, one was enough for him! It was the same trying to explain the Tattle/Alice story to him back when that was all going on too. I think he listens to me with one ear tbh, but he's glad I have somewhere to vent!
I imagine SB was looked after obvs but maybe I’m the anti christ, there’s no way I’d take in such a sickly kitten would you?
I would be in a constant state of panic about his condition & his very probable / arguably impending death? There’s no way I’d take on her tit and have him die oh my watch, absolutely traumatising!
Is that one of Jack‘s recipes? Sad little potato faceHere’s a picture of a world weary potato to cheer you up:

I saw it on Facebook the other day and it bleeping made me laugh so much. So I saved it for a rainy day to use here - Status
