Sorry if it's already been said but if arrangements have been made for a new place to the point where the household has been in training for some weird musical beds game for weeks if not months, surely notice has been given and therefore information about the new rent wouldn’t need to be conveyed?
Wait, she’s offering to help someone? Maybe show her *kind* side so she goes viral and Grifty Kitchen gets some headlines? Chapeau Jack.

nd wouldn't it be more natural to say 'your landlord' not 'the landlord' ?
So if she is indeed on a 2-year contract, she renewed in Feb '21. That was a month after she cried at Rishi mate because she didn't qualify for self-employment assistance during covid, and a couple of weeks before she disappeared off to the aparthotel for rehab. Louisa had LEFT in about May '20, and returned briefly in the guise of Bubble Buddy over the autumn/winter, but the engagement was not back on.
Given that she could (allegedly) barely afford the bleeping place and had (allegedly) had a huge relapse into alcoholism, what an odd moment to renew for two whole years.

What about working to dismantle structural inequalities that led to this situation in the first place?
Oh...
And this is what I am here for! Forensic.
(oh and all the other lovely stuff we get up to when Jack is quiet).
Have you looked at the retweets of the guy she's offering to help? Not sure it's going to go well for her if it goes viral...
Pure speculation m'lud but I suspect the renewal was to guilt trip a certain party into staying to help with the costs.
If she's downsizing from a three bedroom, multiple reception room, outbuildings, driveway parking and 125ft garden at ~new rent of £1650 ~ moving to a one-bedroom, one reception room (if it was more, she would have a bed, rather than sleeping on the sofa), then surely, the rent for the new place with the lovely landlord must be around £700-800?
bleeping bargain.
Let's all move to Southend, it's ridiculously affordable, surely the best-kept secret of the South-East coast?

Right, ninnies, I’m about to sound like a prick here probably, but why doesn’t she just move somewhere cheaper? She has no job, she appears to have no friends, her kid probs doesn’t live with her. It’s not like it MUST BE SOUTHEND, is it? I mean, I don’t want her as a neighbour but you can rent a very nice 3-bed semi here for about £800-1,000 a month. That would be a room for various mistreated pets, a room for slop and grift and fancy-dress costumes and wigs, and a room for a Smol Pixie to prance/howl/claw about in. Admittedly, she’s unlikely to get shot on a beach here (or just stared at by a bored bloke in camo) but after all the HEARTACHE and MISERY and PAIN she’s suffered so bravely, surely a fresh start would be a wonderful thing?
I think only of her, dear hearts, and not the excitement of being on the front-line of Jackanory.

So the rent has gone up 150quid if 10%?
If true!
If true!
THIS ^ is why I love the canal! And @colouredlines post. FORENSIC! Haha praying he asks her for a few bob now
LJC, she's so tedious.This guys photo is what’s in the dictionary when you look up neckbeard
She really thinks the Daily Mail has her on their ‘notify me if someone tweets list’ that they can make an article out of. She’d bloody love it if they picked up one of hers but even the DM aren’t arsed. (Unfortunately, as evidenced by their wish.com attempt at a hit piece!)
I expect the top tier Patrons are rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of receiving a heavy bundle of 250-ish thick postcards. Royal Mail strike allowing, of course.
Hmm… breadcrumbing being ‘forced’ to renew her contract in Feb? (New years tip jar rattle plan is a go!)

Casual reference to first time buyers there…
also, calling her son a teenager is one of my aneurysms.
Imagine if you'd forgotten you set up the Patreon and it had been quietly running on for two years. Then out the blue you get a weighty parcel of shithouse onions.
Sure, bet they loved dealing with all that during a postal strike, and you know, if things fail to show up there’s a perfect reason for it…
Also didn't some clever Frau work out that the actual amount she would need to post to sort out her backlog was ginormous and certainly signifsnt more than 250 or so crappy postcards. Doesn't touch the sides.
