Jack is not coy about the pronouns of her ex-partner the way she is about her current (or latest — forgive me if not totally up-to-date) one, because having previously dated a woman is on-brand (gay, queer, lesbian etc) but being in a heterosexual relationship is… well. Not very edgy at all. So lots of non-specifics about the boyfriend the way there weren’t about a previous girlfriend.

Lest there be any doubt, I mention this given I’m a lesbian myself and I’m used to people trying to seem very controversial by appropriating my space or lifestyle, and merely comment for finding Jack’s attempts to make herself interesting, very boring.
The thing with Jack is she lives a century or so behind the rest of us in a town populated by people who get SHOCKED by people having children out of wedlock or displaying their ankles.

There's been so much tit today we'll be wading back through it for about 20 threads, cheers Jack. I've said it before but I swear that the 'lodger' storyline was a complete fabrication to lend itself to her 'feeding 2 adults and a growing boy' shite for the books. Only feeding yourself, with a child part-time during the week isn't really a selling point.

Is the CCTV run on solar power?
Damn, beat me to it! Presumably only any use if she’s burgled on a sunny day.

One of those rings looks like it’s blurred as well - looks like the big solitaire of the pawned three, and has she inverted the photo? Not sure which hand her tacky quote is on.

eta - I see she still hates things round her neck.

I can't breathe, I'm laughing so much at Jack's snarky tweets and her shithouse grifty book excerpts. bleeping hell shes dangerous. Her tweeting is akin to when Senokot releases the tide.
Rosemary must have had a pretty good hold on Jack's leash for a while. She's clearly dropped Jack off at Adrian's door and run off cackling 'she's your problem now.' Jack is very lairy now, chaos ahoy!

ETA and I'm only on page 10. Thanks for the entertainment Jack, this makes up for the shite Christmas telly viewing.
Babe, same x

She probably had a ring doorbell. And that’s her cctv.
Don’t you need Wi-Fi for ring doorbells or CCTV? My sister monitors hers by phone but it’s reliant on Wi-Fi unless Jack has a heckin big computer set up like a Hollywood thriller.

I know lots is going on, but I've been ruminating on this for hours now. Egg rings (which tbh I didn't really know were a thing up until now) appear to be all of £2 from Asda, presuming you were desperate for roundy eggs.

And wouldn't a tin, sanded or no, scratch many pans to tit? Proper aneurysm territory for me here.

I did once have an incident with a corned beef tin. Those key things are bloody stupid and lethal when you are drunk and want a sandwich.
Both me and the husband have matching corned beef scars 🤣

Now she's hopefully fucked off (until 4am-ish ❄) I've had a closer look at the Grifty Kitchen screenshots that were posted pre-chaos.

You've all already covered the unfettered insanity of the "tips" she's come out with and the laughably manipulative dedication ("this one will get us our Forever Home 🥺 now go and put another jumper on, mamapapa can't afford heating") so I SHAN'T talk about them.

A couple of the recipe photos looked a bit familiar, but I thought "Jack started writing this book three Prime Ministers ago. She'll have actually put some kind of effort in as opposed to recycling recipes that have already been published, won't she? ...Won't she?"

Between the regurgitated recipes (which were utterly SHITE even the first time round), the groundbreaking tips such as "if you need a jar for something, use an empty jar that originally had something else in" and potentially lethal advice re: stabbing tins and gluing dishcloths, this is truly going to be a contender for the worst book she's ever produced. I knew it would be bad, but not this bad. Considering she had to go back to do edits for the better part of a year, what completely unpublishable state must it have been in before!?

"And now moving house"
Is the insinuation here that if it weren't for the bad people and the knowledge of where she lives she would not have had to move???
I am really confused. I thought she hated the crappy bungalow but we had the whole I'm going to be evicted why can't I stay if my new flat falls through and now this...
Make it make sense!?!? 🤯

Can opener? Can't I just use a big knife?
Jokes aside food cans are for storage not cooking, this is actively dangerous advice. Can insides are coated in a lacquer or epoxy/phenolic resin which is NOT suitable for cooking. LJC this is a lawsuit waiting to happen🤦‍♂️

I believe that's the Tiffany pendant dear heart, has she replaced the chain?
