On a bit of a tangent, the £169 for her "cheap" cooker is one of my favourite Jackfibs. It's actually a spenny Rangemaster (but not that spenny!) - @Dogmuck did an analysis on thread 350 going into the absurdity of it all.

Re the property size - it is down as a 3 bed, but the listing for it says it can easily be used as a 4 bed, if desired. Just to give an idea of the size of it, and the cheap deal that Jack has had on this property with its specifics for all this time. If the landlady is an evil capitalist, its a wonder she didn't charge more for it in the first instance, no? 
I never understood the inclusion of the “standalone oven” in that.
Wait! Maybe “Oven” is the code name of her bodyguard…. Who stands alone because despite her stories about big bad bullying trolls none are actually beating a path to her door and shout mean things at her.
Lol I think a better question is “Anyone else suspect that rent increase letter is real?”
Given that she’s been lying and making up self serving bullshit for over 10 years now, she’s really not very good at it. Not that it matters to her as long as there are still gullible idiots to eat it up and rain shiny sixpences in jam money upon her
I don’t understand the thing about complaining the LL renting out an inherited property.
What’s her problem, that she inherited it, that she rents it out? Is she saying she should have sold it and not be available to rent?
Prince Lumpy wanted to keep his parents house and rent it out in case it was useful to us in the future (too far and I really disliked it so no). But maybe LL keeps it to downsize into (is it smaller than hers) or keep it for her children to move into one day, or just as income. Who knows.
The griping is just jealousy. 100% she would like to own it.

As far as I know you can appeal to the LA for a decision where you and the landlord disagree. Apparently in Jackworld local authorities are always acting against their own interests and leaving tenants in under occupied houses because reasons.
Thank(space)you for pointing me towards that thread because I've been sat here counting my fingers saying £169 per month for a bloody cooker?!
Also I've been so focussed on the £1,500 rent for one person that I missed the more obvious JUST £1,500 per month rent for that massive detached property in a beautiful leafy street. Once again proving both a sense of entitlement and not knowing one is born (Jack not me
)
Babe, same.
And to make matters worse, bought some Pringles, got them home - realised they are fecking whole grain
ABSOLUTELY.
to be fair i dont believe any text i get from companies. If i need to query something i ring them otherwise it is deleted.
It’s the same cooker as Leggy’s, as Jack’s so desperate to create a Leggy Aesthetic in all her post-Leggy kitchens. Only Ol Leggy has the more expensive PROFESSIONAL version, because she’s an ACTUAL food professional.
Southend’s nightmare slop slinging version of Blanche Dubois has to “rely on the kindness of strangers” to buy her cooker and all her other tat, and can’t cook or fill her dinner table for 14, so therefore doesn’t need the pro version.
Or Rangemaster told her as she was so unprofessional and should have kept her legs closed she couldn’t have that pro one and had to have the pleb version like the rest of the hoi polloi. WARNED.
ETA I’ve only just really noticed the expression on Jack’s face here. Do you think this was her first time seeing anyone throw a pancake into the air?! “WOW! THATS AMAZING, ALLEGGY!!!!”

That photo might need a spoiler.
My teeth are already itching.
Aww, "boob I guess" didn't make the cut for the face-tuned selfie category.A wee reminder that voting for The Sloppies is open.
Some good times... very eager to see the results!
That kitchen freaks me out. It's so full of stuff. I think i would have a melt down trying to cook in there.
Hey guys, not to derail but…has anyone seen Ralf Little recently?
Oi Jack, (you know you’re reading) where’s Ralf. Or Nigella. Or Jay Rayner? Or the rest of your out of touch, rich, privileged celeb supporters? What’s going on?!

I know it’s childish but I‘m super smug that our mortgage is only £147 a month, only got 7 years left to clear it (I’ll be 50), my kids live with me, my Harold is a catch, our dog is groomed and cared for, I earn my salary fair and square, and I don’t waste a minute of my life fostering an entirely fake persona on the internet.
I wouldn’t want her life for anything.

Would the standard amount of notice for Jack to give be 4 weeks? If so, Jan 12th, one week after the book drops. How unkind of anyone to be subjecting her to negative reviews a time when she will be so stressed out trying to find a flat.
And the landlady, who was formally lovely, couldn't she be persuaded to let Jack go onto a rolling contract if she needed a bit more time to find somewhere to go?

I believe he's still working (100 hr weeks) over in Guadeloupe. Free time = beach and skype family or tweet with Jack. Tough choice.
Gutted that my favourite Jack of all, and the one that converted me into a Frau didn’t make the cut….yes I’m looking at you Goat Leg Jack yomping round Croydon with your backpack full of trottersA wee reminder that voting for The Sloppies is open.
too much chaoi for 2022 from our Jack, here’s to so many more in 2023
I’ll spoiler this one then. Here are Jack’s early efforts to create a Leggy Kitchen Aesthetic after she had to LEAVE Leggy’s kitchen (that she thought was hers)That photo might need a spoiler.
(Thanks to the indefatigable @Marmalade Atkins for the screenies, as always and enjoy the mini stocktake hall of fame in the bottom one! Mulberry! Docs Docs Docs!)
You would think if the LA thing was really an issue Jack would be openly campaigning about it more in the media - her "struggling single mum TRAPPED in rental contract" story can't be the only one out there...
Edited for chaos OMFG SHE IS SPENDING HOW MUCH ON A COOKER???
One of these things is not like the others... Unless Jack is buying a new cooker every month??? Or that's the monthly payment on an extremely spenny one.
