At first I thought it was food poisoning. Apt.

I am a proofreading Frau, and the fact that the title at the head of the web page is spelled ‘Vimes Boots Intdex’ might actually be my aneurysm.Happy birthday tenderstem, here is your pressie as requested - https://www.vimesbootsindex.co.uk/. The Vimes Boots Intdex in all its glory. Please note the uploading of Jack's media appearances and also the link to buy her books at the end. Yourewelcome
I don’t eat oranges. Fruit has too much sugar and I am only six inches tall and weigh 500g.
This. Years ago before I saw the light, I bought into her poverty story, I even remember thinking ”I hope she gets that forever home one day soon, she deserves it”
Luckily I have never sent her any money or bought any of her books, came close but never got round to it 
Sometimes I shudder thinking about how she fooled me and how I came so close to giving her money….just writing this is giving me horrific flash-backs to me being so fooled, Jack drawing me in with a web-like hold….Eeeek 
It's infuriating that last week, so very long ago, she was confessing buying furniture under the influence, and this week she's trumping about sleeping on the sofa, as if it's a sign of hardship. It's a bleeping choice, Jack.
And, of course, if she was actually on a proper treatment (DMARD) she'd have to have regular blood tests for liver function so I'm sure we'd be hearing about that, as it's an absolute ballache. I'm on treatment for an autoimmune condition and they've stopped doing blood tests at my GP so I have to drive 45 mins to the nearest hospital every few months and pay £3 to park aaargh. So, another one for the list of #TROLLCLAIMS, Jack has never been formally diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
Well what a glorious day Ninnies! The sun is shining, and the Venting Beads Intdex is upon us. Praise beans!
I‘m sure Jack was in back to back press interviews yesterday organised by the fragrant Adrian, unveiling her marvellous and groundbreaking initiative that will save all the povs in Britain from starvation. I very much expect our new King to be so impressed that he will confer an MBE on her on the spot.
And if this isn’t hope in the face of all evidence to the contrary, I don’t know what is!
Glory be!

So it’s Saturday 21st January, the One Year Anniversary of the non-appearance of the Voluptuous Bootilicious Index, and the party has started
Jack has turned up with some of her neck-beard Stans, she’s kicking off a bit, and has brought her lads for support….they might be those randoms she had round her house earlier tonight sitting on the bench she hauled up from a skip.
I’ve sent Kylie Minogue to the party, she hates grifters, they really grind Kylie’s gears, she’s a secret Frau, and she has a few choice words to say to Jack.
Anyway ‘Let’s get this party started”…..it’s been 1 long year of VBI chaos…well nothing really happened, just empty promises, a very strange uneventful year-long chaos it’s been.

Especially with the spelling mistake at the topOMG 🥹 I didn't realise this existed! That's worse than having nothing at allPathetic
Happy Veiny Bollock Infection day to the Canal x
Just mithering about the 30p libel case. The main thing that has ruined Jack's reputation is the publication of Thrifty Kitchen. How is she going to blame that on Lee Anderson? She was also widely ridiculed on Twitter due to her overeaction to Sir Tom of the Dire Potatoes. All her own work, nothing to do with 30p Lee.
Is she really going to be able to argue that a couple of mild comments about her resulted in a loss of earnings/reputation? How likely is it that left-leaning publications, companies, talks, festivals etc. thought "Oh Anderson and Daubney think she's a bit dodgy, we'd best not employ her"
I'm genuinely suprised that a solicitor would advise her to go ahead with a libel case. Anderson and Daubney are not exactly popular in the eyes of the general public but that's not going to sway a judge in court! Her case seemed very weak in the first place and then she's weakened it further with all her gloating and baiting.

One of LBC Radio’s presenter does a weekly basket update. They costed a basket of items a year ago (bread, milk, pasta, bread, butter, chicken etc) and every week they do an update on the cost. I think this week it was £15, she they started it was £9 (rough figures as can’t remember exactly ).She will have to do it in a weekend, for this weekend's prices alone, to stand any chance of it being accurate at the time of publication. Pasta near me has jumped 90p to £1 in the last maybe 2 weeks. Who wants to know what it cost in February 2022.
It is so simple and effective in talking about the cost of living increase, minimum input with a clear output. Jack could have done something like this, updated Twitter and made her point without having to triangulate a few hundred faded receipts from random punters around the country!
< looks like a dancing Mushroom..He's dancing because it's party day..
Yay.
Now don't forget it all starts at 6pm at the Canterlot Hall, Milton Keynes, MK1MLP
Theres a prize for best Jack Cosplay.
A prize for worst Trifle
A prize for best Pumble.
And a super duper secret special guest.
In honour of the VBI Anniversary nothing and no one will show up because it's all lies.
Apart from the inevitable ‘Squig, are you serious’ reflex, I love the irony of having the #JackWho? in there as well 
Sadly I bought some of her books, so she got money from me that way. Gads!This. Years ago before I saw the light, I bought into her poverty story, I even remember thinking ”I hope she gets that forever home one day soon, she deserves it”
Wishing you the happiest of Happy birthdays, tender one !Just popping in to say that today is my birthdayand I'm honoured to discover that I share it with the very real and tangible Violet Biryani Index. I might have a read of it later as a birthday treat if anyone has a handy link. Can't seem to find it on Jack's website. A rare oversight, I'm sure.
(My birthday wish is that she goes through with suing Lee Anderson and has to make all her income and financial dealings public)
Love it! However, I have been humming 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang since I got up, and it's getting annoying.
Just watched the first ten minutes of her Edinburgh Book Festival appearance with Kit De Waal and she reads from GFFBD. In that introduction she says that she carries an EpiPen in her bag. For WHAT??
Had to turn it off...that nasal whine combined with fraudulent applause has made me sick before I've even had breakfast.
The thing about her recklessly spending money is that she doesn't even give the impression of having (had) a good time with her money. (I am not counting the forced 'living my best life toot toot' posts)
For stress. She told the audience that she goes into anaphylactic shock if she’s stressed so has to carry three pens with her at all times even if she leaves them on another floor in a Sainsbury’s bag.
Fair play to Kit de Waal for keeping a straight face through most of that interview.
Yes, you don't need huge amounts of items costed as we all buy differently. But most people buy bread and/or milk, and those who don't are usually aware of the costs of those items and can consider their own basket contents accordingly.
Of course not!
