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.

Mr D knows I twat 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 shit 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 updates
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"

Evening, 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?
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!

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.

*Insert Wayne’s World 2 “I promised myself I wouldn’t cry” gif*

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

I tell my invisible friend about it and he enthusiastically agrees she’s a massive spanner

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 shit 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.
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!

Maybe SB and Kitten went to stay with SB's dad. Isn't that where Cooper came from?
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 shit and have him die oh my watch, absolutely traumatising!

Is that one of Jack‘s recipes? Sad little potato face
Haha, no - better say that quick for the courts I saw it on Facebook the other day and it fucking made me laugh so much. So I saved it for a rainy day to use here
