Wasn't there some mithering about her accountant and the drawer full of vibrators?
Yep. About dildoes and some crap about being able to write them off as a source of warmth/heat, or some equally tenuously shoehorned in shite. Much like the time she implied in her cookbook that as it’s vaguely cock-shaped, everyone could shove a courgette(?!) up their flue, but that as she’s a “nice girl” she’s not going to suggest that, but provide a courgette recipe instead.

In so, so many ways she’s perpetually stuck in some sort of arrested development as a not particularly mature adolescent. It’s pathetic-and embarrassing.

Sorry if this has been covered already, I’m catching up between meetings so glancing mostly, rather than absorbing everything.
didn’t she say the rinsed hoops was borne out of someone who contacted her saying they always had spaghetti hoops leftover from their foodbank parcel and she was trying to do something imaginative with them? You know; instead of the guy just saying to the foodbank that he didn’t like them?

My tax returns have been with my accountant for weeks, she says on 26th August 2022, as though delivering a killer blow. LOL which returns would they be then? The 2020 ones?
"I gave my accountant friend, from Dave's church, access to my paypal, and 42 boxes full of post it notes, weeks ago, (in April for year end). Unsurprisingly, she has spent the last 4 months unable to make sense of it, and ~ may ~ refuse to complete and sign the return, to protect herself, for legal reasons" .

In fairness to her (), on NYE 2020 she was trying to retrospectively figure out where the fuck all her money had gone that year. By asking Twitter.

I don’t think you need a budget has special sideboards/dressers/shoe benches categories though…

I also LOVE that she only wanted to do it for the year past, not to keep an eye on what she was spending on from then forward “not as an ongoing project”. That should be a massive fucking red flag to anyone chucking money at her that she 1. Hasd enough £££ that she has spent with no clue where it went, and 2. Has no interest in managing her spending going forwards.

Hardly the actions someone on the bones of their arse and on a stringent £20 a week budget, is it?

narcissist much?

Make it make sense! Picks up public social media tool to say “Please give me privacy at this time as my bones crumble into dust”

Why not just NOT pick up the public social media tool?!

Why is she SUCH a massive idiot? Seriously. No access to her own bank statements?? She needs an *app*???

I have just done a Les Mills bike class for 45 minutes.
I can no longer feel my legs , my fringe is stuck to my head and my bum has a category two pressure sore.

Might mention it on twitter and see if I get bearded creeps offering to rub me down.

(Add just vomited in my own mouth writing that to my ailments)

My bank does have a spending breakdown feature, I don't use it but assume you'd have to tag every regular recipient.
As if an app will know what category of spending everything was without you telling it lol. So just fill in a spreadsheet yourself, it's the exact same thing.
*Note her reference to more than one bank, not just 3 pots in a Monzo

Glen is the man. Get yourself onto #94- They have old skool toons on that one like Coolio.

OT. Many online banking apps can filter your spending by type*. She’s such a fucking tool.

*admittedly Santander won’t know my Savers spending is all Pepsi and not zoflora but you get the drift.

Funny how her FORENSIC autistic superpower of attention to detail doesn't extend to money...

@Veronicaaa she was TOO BUSY for bank statements and Excel even though she’d LOVE to use it. But it’s ok because she’s going to PUT ALL HER SPENDS IN HER DIARY in 2021. (PS some transactions need to be SECRET from her accountant nudge nudge wink wink)
All different squigs. Including one who had the measure of her…

Just joined a gym that has opened near me I have never been a mad exercise person but enjoying it so far. Menopause weight sucks. Love old skool though so will enquire

There are some open banking apps which auto-categorise transactions based on who the payee is, the amount and frequency, how other users categorise etc. “Emma” is one. But I imagine that even the most advanced AI would very much struggle to make sense of Jack’s financials.
