Can I suggest a slight edit dear heart?If the front garden is communal, how will she plant her forever hydrangea?she will have no idea how to behave
Having owned a leasehold apartment in the past (before I lost it through some really bad life choices) I agree she is using tricksy words to make it sound like she's renting.
Leasehold apartments (usually 125+ years) have a landlord and you pay a management fee. You have to get approval for any alterations to the property (and she's been going on about the landlord allowing this and that) Though many leasehold properties do not allow cats and dogs, so we'll see how that pans out. They especially don't like pets to use communal areas and gardens.
God help her neighbours, that's all I can say. She's used to detached properties,when you are living in such close proximity to others.

Can I suggest a slight edit dear heart?
OMG don’t you know anything, Stephen?
The brambly mice at my receipts, because that’s what they do, Stephen.
I bought sideboards from 2013-2020 because that’s what the timeline says Stephen.
I would have spent a million pounds on being DEAD, because that’s what big spenders do, Simon.
Crap at the posting pics thing but Jack in the leather jacket with the helmet of hair puts me in mind of the second pic
Stevie Nicks did this too. Allegedly, m'lud.
Is a charitable act a truly charitable act if you haven't informed all of twitter about it?
My parents should get themselves into therapy ASAP then, because we basically spent our winters in bed wrapped in blankets because we didn’t have heating or decent windows. (Good job library books are free innit.)
What horrible failures my parents are for us being, erm, pretty cold for a few months every year, and having to use ancient ceramic hot water bottles when it was really cold out.
And this traumatic state of affairs was happening while dear little Jack was less than two miles away, snug as a bug in a rug in a nice big house and having her ballet and piano lessons and all that
Basic cereal, lol we had porridge oats with water because a sack of porridge oats was CHEAP … but I usually liked it, because it’s nice if you make it right and shove some sugar in; and it’s still one of my go-to comfort snack/evening foods, except these days I’m well bleeping fancy and I quite often have some sea salt and cinnamon in it.) My ma and pa must be absolutely eating themselves alive with the guilt.
Was it an aspirational ‘ideal’ childhood? No, course not. Was it okay? Yeah. Absolutely. Like I’ve said before, I was pretty privileged compared to some of my classmates from actual crappy homes and crappy families. My home was stable and my family - though with the clarity of hindsight and adulthood, I recognise was weird and dysfunctional - was definitely less dysfunctional and harmful than many of my peers’ families. And I never realised I was in the section of society marked lesser-than until I got to secondary, started socialising outside of school for the first time, and met people from the other sections of society.
that quote reads as though Jack Monroe believes that poor parents should feel guilt if their kids are cold or eat basic cereal … and really, is that all that different to the sentiment behind what she reckons Michael Portillo said to her?
She’s irredeemably awful and a completely ignorant snob.
My mum is going to roll her eyes and tell me she already knows Jack Monroe is a spoilt cow thanks, and my dad will be amazed at how soft people are these days that they can get PTSD from being a bit cold in the winter. I know what they’re gonna say, but I’m still going to waste some of our precious time this weekend showing them her complete bullshit 🫣
(My parents can’t afford therapy for their terrible misdeed of failing to have heating anyway
)
I think it’s all time to admire Jack’s thrift. If only we had saved by buying Smart Price instead of Extra Special, we could have saved the deposit to buy our Stetson Forever Home.
¡Dios mío! Three and a half threads to grunk? Sweet baby jesus and mary and joseph, I'll never catch up. I only logged in to say I'm enjoying watching her follower count drop like a tit in a latrine and was presented with War and Peace! Also, I can't keep up because I'm chaosing to the max but whenever it starts to get a bit much I just remember I'm not Jack and it makes it all better. Go well pals, see you on the other side. duck knows what I'm missing but it'll have to wait. Chapeau! Keep being FORENSIC. I´ll try and use tonight´s inevitable insomnia for good and not evil by grunking the duck out of this tit.
"When I travelled extensively in Asia, even an experienced and adventurous chef like myself was positively overwhelmed with the delicious creations of the marvellous street chefs, who tenderly and lovingly stood by their carts day after day, producing lovely eats" etc etc etc
I might be a complete moan, but I dislike many of those little free libraries. Often used to dump tit that also easily gets weathered. I absolutely adore public libraries though (full disclosure: I once made one at a community group event
).Great chance also that at her new place there will be tons of restrictions to the use of communal ground if this space is managed by a third party (interesting bit on BBC Scotland yesterday night the 'who owns Scotland' series, where in a development in Stirling home owners had to pay service fees to Greenbelt, the company managing the public green spaces, without almost having possibilities to take them to account)

It’s most definitely not tiny, that one. Especially with the outhouse and the sun room (not an orangery)…
Setting up the leaseholder/ block manager as the 'landlord' so she can talk away paying ground rent and service charges as 'normal' rent pcm?
I'm just trying to imagine the reaction if I cast up to my parents that everything we ate was supermarket own make and ask if they feel guilty*. They are not violent people but I think the atmosphere could turn quite ugly.My parents should get themselves into therapy ASAP then, because we basically spent our winters in bed wrapped in blankets because we didn’t have heating or decent windows.

*Other than the crisps and tit diluting juice I wasn't bothered.
All day long, on the chaise longue!
and a room she could invite Russel Brand to 🥹
ugh. What beautiful properties. I hope one day I’ll get to live somewhere nice like that grift free.
Further proof that there is no co-ordination at the Graun...

It’s ok.if I remember correctly Free holders have the right to add the charges on to the mortgage balance if they don’t get paid.
It's interesting she refers to 'gardens' plural, but only talks about the front one being communal...which would suggest that the tiny smol 1 bedroom flat has its own private garden.
Really makes you think.
So why not start giving some of the tit you have in all those boxes away 6 months ago when you started "practising" living in a titchy one bedroom flat? Why now, at almost the last minute? It's almost as if she needs to come across as a kind and generous soul to distract from her being exposed as a greedy, grifting c*nt, isn't it?
